Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Remake) Favourite Bits
 

Hey everyone...
ok, well the part that stood out on TCM (remake) was when he chopped off his leg and leather face put salt on it... *shudder*
also i thought it was funny when leather face chopped his arm off he he :)

what was ur favourite bit/ the bit that stood out

P.S Brains look like lasagne :)

do us a favor, i can't express this enough. SEARCH for threads on topics like this before making a new one. i'm sure that this thread has been done, if not, a thread on the tcm remake has.


By the way, i liked the leg saw too, but not the meat hook.

watever dimsim (soz thats my line)
yea meat hook was gross but also how he attatched him to the piano :eek:
lol soz if im annoying, just curious lol

since you just joined... most of the time you classify as annoying, i guess its just a natural thing now. however, i can guarantee that if you use words like "soz" then you will start getting attacked really soon. No big deal... just, use grammar. *thumbs up at return*

This fella is double the fun, let me tell you. First off, as you said, hhis grammer is atrocious. Secondly, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that he falls into the same category as Hypnocyl, and how I had you pegged at first.

But you know what? Im tired. I have a big day tomorrow, and I need some sleep. Im not going to rip on this poor fella, Im just going to tell him to watch some real horror movies, and come back to us once he knows his stuff.

I'm pretty sure it's a female... meaning, you made a mistake!

Man, woman...they cant type and are the part of the reason we get as many crappy Hollywood horrors as we do. I dont care what's between their legs, people like that are no more than a nuisance around here.

We should have a big Noob-Swatter.

I say the part where the guys rips his nails on the wall, or the annoying guy gets a bottle smashed in his face... love it.

Discussing the TCM remake is just plain wrong.

Nothing beats the original in my eyes. The whole remake sucked.

Not in here it's not. Horror.com is a horror forum, this thread is discussing a "modern horror movie", which means it's in the right place, regardless of whether or not YOU liked the film.
I don't see a problem.

I didn't mind the remake, although I think the original has, and will continue to have far more of a lasting impact on the slasher/horror genre. My problems with the remake was that they DID more or less remake the film...I know that doesn't seem to make much sense, but what I mean is that essentially, I prefer "re-imaginings", aka - the new dawn of the dead.
The tcm remake was a little of both, but stuck too close to the original storyline to make it stand out in any way to me.

I suppose the chick shooting herself was quite fucked up, and, I also liked the addition of the young boy...kind of sad, kind of creeped out.

i love it when cheeba gets mad at the noobs. It's like watching a shark attack a school of fish. And frankly, I disliked the original... It was really crappy, and I don't see what everyone thought was so great about it.

The remake could have been a hell of a lot worse, but I'm just a huge fan of the original. It just had a really disgusting feel to it... still makes my skin crawl. The new one just seemed like another slasher to me, nothing really new or fresh.

But I agree with the bit about the salt on the leg-stump *shudder*.

Im starting to agree with Urge on the whole "crappy" thing. What didn't you like about it?

Well, for one thing, the hype. So many people here have it as their favorite of all time... WHY? It ISN'T anything special. There's nothing scary at all in it, and its the most repetitive movie ever. Its very short, mainly because nothing happens until 40 minutes into the movie, and the ending was completely random. The ONLY thing that impressed me was when the retard brother got run over by the 16 wheeler at the end.

Woooh - steady on people. I may be new to this forum but I have been an avid fan of the genre for over 20 years. So what the hell being a 'newb'?? has to do with it is beyond me. Also I see people are getting slammed for using words like 'soz' and yet 'newb' is acceptable??

As for my point about it being 'plain wrong' - I am from manchester, UK and an expression here is if you think something is crap the expression is 'it's plain wrong'. I apologise for not making that clearer. Still thought the remake sucked compared to the original though.

I believe he said noob, not newb, nOOb. :p

I for one don't really give a shit about non-excessive abbreviation, although number to letter substitution generally shits me. By the way, I wasn't specifically intending to "have a go" at you before, I just didn't agree with what you said, and stated reasons to that effect.
However, I will say - If what you said about your local terminology is true, fair enough...but, then I question is there was really much of a need to comment in the first place. Saying "The original ruled, the new one sucks" has not only been said by hundreds of people about hundreds of remakes, but it's kind of rude to blow in on someones thread just to say that. If you felt it was really worth the negative comment, you could've just said "I personally disagree...etc", maybe stated a few reasons why you developed this opinion, instead of coming in saying things that may be taken as "you're an idiot, your choice in film sucks".
Just saying...converse, express...make your posts worthy.

- B.

miaow! :)

*SHART* @YOU :mad:

Fair comment. I was not in any way meaning to be rude and so I take my comments back! I in-fact do own the remake but being a big TCM fan was disappointed with the way Leatherface was newly portrayed in the remake as opposed to the original. I also will point out that on merit if it was just another movie then I would maybe have had a higher opinion of it but as I am hating the recent remake boom in Hollywood then I was always going to be against a remake (what I would term) a classic.

Thankyou;)

Has this been done yet?

No favourite bits in this remake - a favourite character perhaps in Lee Ermey's dirty cop, but he always plays grizzled bastards or wierdos so no great shakes.

Why didn't they have another shot at the dinnertable scene? Of all the bits worth including, one would have thought that to be the most obvious.

Instead we get a complete lack of terror and suspense - although plenty of eye candy in that leading lady, who has a jaw- droppingly fantastic body.

:p
