Really? I loved James Whale's Frankenstein...much better than Thomas Edison's version.

Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were awesome in their remake of Dracula.

The Thing? Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

remakes have been going on as long as film has been made - get over it already.

The first ever official remake of another film was The Great Train Robbery (1904), It was a remake of The Great Train Robbery (1903). There have been remakes for over one hundred years... I doubt your bithcing will stop them now.

my favorite point ever: Complaining on an internet forum will accomplish nothing more than filling up some space on a database. The film makers will never come here and read these, and even if they did, they would not take them to heart.

they may thank you for the free publicity, but i doubt you would even get that.


This is like protesting by telling at your tv. You'd be better off with a bumper sticker (And i happen to think people who voice opinions on bumper stickers need a hobby)

the only form of protest that ever worked is violent protest.

Rather than saying "AvP2 is gonna SUCK!"

then its released and your back here saying "Yep, i was right, it sucked." Well, you just gave them A. Your money, B at the very least, a free plug.


Plus, sad as it may be, shitty movies make money, and if they turn any kind of profit at all, they keep the movie business going. Take a look at other forms of entertainment. probably 90% of EVERYTHING is either not your thing, or garbage of some sort. Its that 10% that keeps you interested and looking. The reason it seems to be such a big deal with movies, is because we pay a lot more for them, and they are a lot more in your face.

Think about all of the garbage on TV, that you never get as fired up aboutm because you just dont watch it. Movie trailers are everywhere, so we become more aware of them, then on top of that, most of us are movie buffs, so we pay attention. Sure, Hollywood sucks, but so does everything else. Try to ignore the bad, or at least have fun with its awfulness.
i couldnt have said it any better, wade through the pantsness of movies.....better that there is movies than there not being....cuz where would we be without artistic expression?
