From the Department of Unnecessary Remakes...

They should do Escape From New York...in space.

Actually, they've already remade that movie once. It was called, "Escape from L.A.".

After watching Matrix 2 & 3 I wanted to take the blue pill.

Hey Super Eggroll ... remember when they re-did Jason, they put him in ... SPACE. How'd that work out? Yeah it sucked fucking ball sweat. It was horrendous.

I don't recall ever connecting the two, but good try. Your reasoning for liking/disliking a certain remake =/= why you like/dislike remakes in general, I didn't bring that up at all.

Need an example? Watch Tombstone, then go watch Wyatt Earp. There's no comparison.

Val Kilmer made Tombstone awesome.

It's funny you say that...Carpenter and Russell were shopping around a sequel to studios a few years ago called "Esacpe From Earth." From what I hear the plot was retarded (something about zombies taking over the planet) and no one was interested.

Actually, they've already remade that movie once. It was called, "Escape from L.A.".

Man, did Escape Form L.A. suck.

I remember reading an interview with John Carpenter about L.A., and he was going on about how people don't want anything different for sequels, they just want the same exact movie, so that's what he set out to make. Idiot.

Carpenter was a brilliant moviemaker in the 70's and 80's, but come the 90's, he was just waaaaaay past his prime.

I just pretend those movies never happened.

2nd worst Friday movie ever, right behind Jason Goes to Hell. You can tell a studio is getting really desperate for ideas when they stick Jason Voorhees in space and turn him into RoboCop.

True, that was more SoK. Nevermind.

Kurt Russell's acting in Tombstone, The Thing and Escape from New York, were some of his best. No doubt Val Kilmer's "Doc Holliday" was the standout of Tombstone, but Russell's portrayal of Wyatte Earp was much better than that of Kevin Costner's.
