From the Department of Unnecessary Remakes...

Predator remake? I really draw the fucking line at remaking Arnold movies.

Yeah really, and Predator is a perfect movie too. It'd be like trying to remake Citizen Kane with a guy from American Idol.

What if they asked you to do a cameo in the new Escape from New York, or play the Ernest Borgnine role?

F--- that! I am Snake Plissken! It's like Sean Connery always watching someone else do their version of Bond.

I'm sold, give it to Kurt Russell.

Fuck Hollywood. Seriously. I am really so fucking sick of this non-stop 'remake ever movie ever made' bullshit that I want to puke. Creativity is dead.

Amen to that!
Creativity is indeed dead amongst those lazy moneymakers

Its the same with mainstream music - steal an old song from before this generations' kids were born and churn it out with an extra jingle for easy ca$h. (Example: Avril Lavigne's latest 'Hey You' tune, stolen from a little known 1979 hit. Her people even had the audacity to try to deny the blatant word for word copying).

Alright, so I'm digressing.

Make something new and care about making it.

How do you not use the quote function properly?

Escape From New York.

Originally slated to be directed by Len Weisman and starring Gerard Butler as Snake.

Then, Brett Ratner slated to direct starring Gerard Butler.

Now, being rewritten by Jonathan Mostow, star unknown.

Hopefully they won't get this off the ground. The original is just fine.


Now they are remaking Child's Play. I shit you not.

[Port]

Well that's good news (not the Child's Play part).

Now they are remaking Child's Play. I shit you not.
