He has IllWillPress as his homepage, what would you expect?

Anything with Vin Deisel in it. Well, except that one with the kids in it and the kids own him, that one is funny at least.

first, meant no offense to anybody.

second, I AM A GIRL! not a guy.

Yeah she is!

And this affects you masturbating in your own faeces how?

well, i was referring to what Return said, but whatever.

also, me being a girl affects my masturbating in my faeces because i'm smart enough not to do it.

Don't knock it 'till you've tried it.

I think masturbating in one's own feces is highly overrated! :p

I hear it's slippery.

What a fuckin' prude.

the "dawn of the dead" remake. big-time overrated imo.

Phantasm is another one. Everyone on all the horror sites says its SO GOOD!!!!!111, so I bought it. I still haven't watched the whole thing because it's so boring.

oh my god!!!!!

Phantasm is a real classic! How can you say the things you have said about it!

Your opinion is very questionable because it doesn't resemble mine!

You're on thin ice buddy

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oooooooo

can't believe you dint like Phantasm

Whoops! You know what this means, don't you?

They're gonna have to remake it with digital effects so the young people of today will "get it"

Aw man! That blows. You know they're gonna do it...precisely because remaking it is such a sucky, lame, uninspired idea.

Um, I really liked Phantasm. I thought the Tall Man was really creepy. BOOOOOooooyyyyy!

What a subtle insult.

Well, it wasn't meant that way. Sorry! No, actually, this is what I meant--and unfortunately I think it's true:

The modern demographically-viable audience member, who happens to be young, finds the pacing of older films slow and the production and effects work to be primitive compared to those of movies produced today. That audience member generally stops spending money on the older product, and for the investor to get that money out of them, the package has to be "re-envisioned" and resold as something "new." The advertising campaigns for such films generally imply that this new "Dawn of the Dead" or "Assault on Precinct 13" is some hot new property with current star personalities supporting it, and that this new product effectively replaces the old product. All implied, but the statement is still made.

Now, it's a proven fact that whenever I worry about somebody remaking a movie because it's not selling to the demographically-viable crowd, someone IMMEDIATELY begins remaking that product. So you can rest assured that someone is wadding up large numbers of $20 bills and stuffing them into suitcases so they can go and bother Don Coscarelli to license Phantasm, etc.

Now Don Coscarelli, who has made a slew of Phantasm films and (hopefully) done fairly well with them, will listen to the sales pitch and look at the suitcases full of money, and after thinking about it for a good long time, will answer, "No...no...no...no...no, I don't think I want to sell you this particular property. Well, all right, what the heck, sure, it's yours."

So basically what you're telling us, Filmmaker, is that your paranoia about remakes has been jinxing us the whole time? Is that what I'm understanding?

Horror fans, I say! Rise up! Rise up now! Turn off your de-crapitated VCR's and DVD players! Find Filmmaker and kill him, because he has admitted that he is the cause for the remake bullshit!!! :D :D

I'm kidding. Don't kill Filmmaker. I still haven't given him the results of his reading yet.

Incidentally, any movie with Will Smith is over-hyped. He's adorable and a decent actor as far as it goes, but he just plays in stupid movies that receive too much attention and turn out to be the same movie where he's basically the same character... only diff'ernt.

Oh yeah, forgot something:

Poo and sex do not belong in the same sentence except to say that "poo and sex do not belong in the same sentence."

Gosh. Well you could say that about Chevy Chase, then, too, couldn't you? Aren't all Chevy Chase movies the same movie?

Aren't Robert Klein and Albert Brooks the same person in two different bodies?

okay, since i got bashed for my first suggestion (which i still stand by)...............i also think that when a stranger calls (new version) was extremely overrated. i actually thought it might be kind of good...........then i actually watched it.

You could also say that about Adam Sandler

I have to agree with you though. The fact that I do enjoy many 'older' movies exempts me from being offended by that.

You know, I'm not really bashing on the younger audience at all--at least I don't think so. What really gets me is the way they sell this remake crap so aggressively, and so much of it is utterly devoid of value, just absolute crap.

Hell, just the fact that they make it is irritating. I'm not even against the idea of remakes, if they're done well; but most of the time they aren't...there's been a lot of times when I've looked forward to a remake or re-envisioning of something I liked in its original form--"Ooo, they're gonna do it all big!"--but when I sit down to see it, I generally find that the soul has been sucked out of it and the backbone of the story has been lost, polluted, or confused.

Here's a property they brought back in Japan that I thought was done really well--1995's "Gamera the Guardian of the Universe"...they took a cheesy but endearing kid's film staple, pumped it up with good story and characters and special effects and horror, and made basically a modern classic with tongue-in-cheek nuances. The original product was improved upon. But this is one in a hundred remakes. I wish it was maybe one in ten...

i know i'm chiming in a little late in the thread (i don't usually come up here), but as far as i'm concerned posting should have started and ended w/ this movie... it just goes to show if you market the hell out of a piece of shit people will buy.....it......and......even......like......it.

I liked The Blair Witch Project. I thought it worked, and its marketing was lots of fun!

oooh, I'm gonna have a hissy fit because of your eville comments!

hissy fit hissy fit! eeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyYYYYYAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

wow, that's a lonnnnnnngggggggggg cat.

Yeah, isn't that messed up? That cat has been through some rolfing sessions or something.

Bash away on those young whippersnappers because they need the wake-up call. The following illustrates my reasons for thinking this.

I'm the newspaper advisor at the school where I teach, and a couple of years ago I figured out why the remake sensation has exploded big time.

We were putting together the October issue of the paper, and the staff wanted to do a poll of students to see what the scariest horror movie they'd ever seen was. (All of this took place in the weeks leading up to the release of the TCM remake.) The staffer in charge of conducting the poll brought the results to me and informed me that the winning movie, TCM, would have to be thrown out. I was mystified and asked why. She said (and I swear this is true), "It hasn't even come out yet. How could they vote for it?":eek:

Now, I can't kick kids off the newspaper staff, but I can make them feel dumb. I looked at her and said as gently as possible, "Please tell me you're kidding!?!" I informed her that the original was the movie these kids were talking about and that it came out in the 70's and had already seen its share of sequels. The one she was talking about was a REMAKE. She just said, "Oh. Didn't know that."

In all fairness, a couple of the other staffers told her she was an idiot. They at least knew there was an original TCM.

See No Evil...

Dustin's mother said that it was banned in a lot of their theaters in Northwestern Ohio (15 minutes from Indiana, 10 minutes from Michigan), for excessive violence and gore...They had to drive over an hour away to see it.....It wasn't banned ANYWHERE here...

And...I don't see why it would be banned anywhere at all...It really wasn't that big a deal...

Silent Hill.

its over rated because people actually like it.

wow, those are strong words. most overrated horror movie??? i mean it wasn't the greatest horror flick, but i can think of worse ways to spend two hours.

The story to Silent Hill wasn't the best, but it was still entertaining. I got a couple of little jumps, and there were a few good visual freak outs. Even when it was stupid, it made me laugh. The Thriller nurses were a hoot.

lol ya doing the friggin robot.

yep. terrible.
