Mr Hooper - 1st Post

[tobehooper]

Hello This is my 1st Post ....

and seeing as i took my username from TCM i thought it fitting to start with a question about the film/s. I was just wondering how people compare the films - who believes Hooper's TCM '74 is better than the '03 remake and vice versa?

I think you'll find that there aren't many people (above the age of 12:rolleyes: ) that would consider ANY remake to be better than the original...Except, perhaps 'The Fly' or 'The Thing'

Personally, I appreciate the fact that there are 2 of them...But, you can't beat the original

Same goes for Psycho, Night Of The Living Dead, Dawn Of The Dead, War Of The Worlds, Amityville Horror, The Fog, Etcetera, Etcetera...


Although...I would really like to see Rosemary's Baby redone...


OH...And...

Yeah i know exactly how you feel, remakes are never a great idea. I hate to see great films 'slaughtered' by tacky remakes that lack the vision of the originals.

Is there anyone on the forum who just dislike both films? and how do people feel about comedic parodies that pay homage to certain films eg shaun of the Dead 2004?

Oh, I didn't say that I thought remakes were a bad idea...If I like a movie, I wanna see everything I can that has to do with that movie...It's just 'more for me'...Some people act like a remake is meant to REPLACE an original...Like I said, I appreciate having 2 of them...

BUT...I still feel that the remakes aren't BETTER than the originals...

I LOVE Shaun Of The Dead ("E's Got an ahm off"...My favorite quote..I say it all the time...lol)...I also love The Return Of The Living Dead movies...Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The Thirteenth was kinda stupid, but still fun...The 'Scary Movies' are lame as hell (they could do SOOO much with them and they just keep missing it)...But, I still watch them, just to see what they're gonna parody

Most remakes are crap.
Whats the point of messing with the originals? A little more gore and blood and fx?
That doesn't make it better and sometimes its an insult to the original film
