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.

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? Last edited by filmmaker2; 07-06-2006 at 05:09 PM.
