I feel sorry for the kids of this generation. They're not going to have those unique films that defined they're youth like those of us who grew up in the pre-remake era. All they'll have to look back on is re-hashes (and generally poor ones) of the films that the prior generations grew up on.

Oh, man, who is tired of this? I reach out to the sky and I ask!

I feel sorry for people who believe a remake of a film is such a devastating event. No person living decently is sitting back in their armchair and thinking about things as ridiculous as this.

As well, half those movies are not remakes but rather another adaptation of a book. No one was thinking, 'Hey, let's remake David Lynch's Dune...' You obviously don't even know the history of these so-called 'remakes' you rage against, probably haven't even seen half of the 'remakes' on your mind, you just want something to complain about, you want to get up in arms, that's all. This same sort of nonsensical complaining you see all the time. If I could lean into my computer screen and slap your face, I would.

Isn't everyone. ____ even kids are gonna be confused with the new Spiderman coming out lol.

anyway i just saw the trailer for The Thing and i gotta say im pumped. not for the new one but to watch the original lol

 

[Shatterer of Dreams]

Oh there is no "pre remake era". Remakes or reinterpretations are older than Hollywood. You think people go "s__t, shakespear again!"? This is nothing new and Hollywood did it when we were kids as well, I will give you that it seems a little more prevalent now but seriously how many times has Dracula been done on the stage or film?

 

[CelticPredator]

The problem is, they're releasing dozens of them in the same year.

It would usually be atleast 1-5 remakes a year. If that. But now...it's just kinda heavy.

 

[Shatterer of Dreams]

I conceded that.....

 

[EVILFACE]

If you don't like remakes, don't watch em.

 

[COSMOSTARX]

......I'm tired of hollywood remaking Asian movies because they're too proud to put Asians on the big screen starring their own movies and as if they were the ones who came up with these movies.

 

[EVILFACE]

It's because people hate subtitles.

Also there are several American versions of movies better than their counterparts.

The Ring and The Departed come to mine right away. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo looks all kinds of awesome, the trailer alone is superior to the original movie.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Can't wait to see American Girl With The Dragon Tattoo!

 

[jonny88]

The one zombie/infection movie was better too. I can't remember the name.

Yep that's it!

Never got around watching REC. but really enjoyed Quarantine. Jennifer Carpenter's act was quite good. And Doug Jones! What amazing characters he has played in different movies.

About re-done movies, am sure I wouldn't want to watch a requel of a movie like Ichi the Killer. That's enough _____ for me in just one lauguage. But the likes of Pan's Labyrinth and El secreto de sus ojos, yes wouldn't mind them redone in english.

I am definitely tired of the re-do's. Time to get original.
