Wrong On Every Level

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Totally uncalled for and a waste of everybodies time. Why don't they just re-pacakage the original and give the money to charity FFS :?: :evil:

Surely even the brain dead 'public' are sick of all these s**t remakes? :evil: :evil: :evil:

His films are crap anyway.Got halfway through House of a 1000 corpses and had to be physically restrained from kicking the tele in.

Does he think that he looks like
john Carpenter, who directs and composes the soundtrack music? What next, a remake of Wicker Man? :roll:

To think, I initially thought that the thread would be about You Could Be the One.

What's the point of remaking films? It's like doing cover versions; only do it if you're going to add something new to the film.

Yep. Like it or not.... it's the quintessential slasher movie, a blueprint of the whole genre and Mr. Zombie will just embarrass himself by remaking it.

Originally it was meant to be a totally different Halloween film. I think him "remaking" it is not a good idea. I just hope it's not as filthy as Devils Rejects...

Rob directing does have it's advantages. He is a huge horror fan, so I think we'll get a decent movie, and not just a quick cash-in.

Well at John Carpenter gets some money, which IMHO is all that matters. I wouldn't bother watching a remake.

Although the Texas Chainsaw one wasn't all that bad and had some cool moments, it's no Tobe Hooper but it's a strong 3rd in that series of movies.
End of line.

Some remakes are actually quite good, very good in some instances; such as David Cronenberg’s “The Fly� and the 1970s version of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers� - both movies far surpass the originals. Don’t judge it until you’ve seen it, if you ever see it.

Really, who gives a f**k if he’s remaking the movie? Only a fool would let it ruin their enjoyment of the original, and just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean anyone else wont. I’m sure some people, be it most likely fourteen year olds in Metallica t-shirts, will enjoy the remake.

It’s just a movie.

Yeah but they tend to miss the point with these remakes don't they? The remake of TCM was glossy and over the top. It loses all the power of Tobe Hoopers original amongst all the glitz. Wheres the fingers scraping down a blackboard soundtrack and the grainy dirty cinematography?

I stand by the original point - NOTHING was gained by remaking this film.

Which remakes have stood alongside the original as a significant contribution? I can't think of one.

You do realise Apocolypse! Now will be on the list too don't you? :evil:

The only thing, IMO, that is to be gained by re-makes is that they bring the films to the attention of a younger generation, who, hopefully, will then watch the original, and then finally realise that everything from our generation, Music, Film, Fashion etc, was waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy better than today's PISH!! ;D

The original is good, and did provide us with the sample "Keep watching the skies" on Temple Head by Trans Global Underground.
Yes, Herr Administrator...? :innocent:

The Fly (1986) isn't a one-to-one remake of The Fly (1958). Although the plotline (scientist turns into fly) is the same, the script was completely over-written with names and characters changed. Both movies arent comparable in my eyes. They both have their own right of existence.

Aye, the Fly isn't so much a remake as a completely different film with the same name. :lol:

If that's what Rob Zombie is doing with Halloween, then I suppose fair enough.

Itis just a movie, but then it's also a book, or a song, art work etc
If we simply resign ourselves to 'It's Only a...' then where is the passion and no one would be called a Fud.
