Worst remake idea ever.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

"I dont care."

 

[Eggyman]

It's like a bad dream.

I love the original. It doesn't need to be done - there's just no excuse for it.

 

[BMM]

"I dont care."

Haha.

 

[deathshead2]

So they've had one hit show, one hit movie remake of show, one hit sequel, and one failure with the remake show.

I say they make a U.S. Marshals 2.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

"Get off my plane"


Oh, wait wrong movie.

 

[The Chairman]

Unequivocal fail.

 

[Symbiotic]

This is... really random.

 

[Gilpesh]

So now the studios are trying to hide a remake under another new word, rehash?

F--kers.

Awww, I liked the Tim Daly show.... then again, I was 11, so my opinion cant really be trusted.

I never even knew the show was on, I was watching that first season of CSI with my parents. Only reason I know about it is Wikipedia.

They've been doing that for years with "re-imagining".

Rob Zombie: "It's not a remake of Halloween. It's a re-imagining."

WRONG!

Wrong r his Halloween was a redneckaging.

WRONG!

Yup. Remake, re-imagining, update, reboot... and now rehash. Too bad they can't figure out that it doesn't matter what you call it... when it sucks ass.

 

[Chewy]

Will Robert Downey reprise his role as generic double crosser?

Will Robert Downey reprise his role as generic double crosser?

With missing limbs!?

 

[Chewy]

I guess. I can't for the life of me remember how that movie ended

Spoiler

He died, right?

Well I actually somewhat liked Zombie's Halloween (and a few other remakes), I just hate it when they split hairs.

Well you were thinking of the wrong movie anyway as he was in U.S marshals not the Fugitive.

 

[Chewy]

I know, but I see U.S. Marshals as a sort of "reboot" anyway, so this'd be the second time.

The Fugitive is one of all-time favorites. I think it's the childhood memories.

Oh, I'm not saying all remakes suck. I'm just saying it doesn't matter what they get called when they suck... they just suck.

The Thing and Invasion of the Body Snatchers are great remakes. No one tries to call them reboots, rehashes, re-imaginings, etc. They just call them good movies.

Yeah. Scarface and the Fly are great remakes too.

 

[Octoberist]

I think the problem with remakes, as I point again, is that a.) they are not made well and b.) ignorant people may not realize that the remake is a remake. Option B p*sses me off the most, I would think. "Oh, The Omen is a remake?" It bothers me to no end. It's funny in the day of the internet, people are still clueless. Sorry, I'm going off into a rant..

 

[Gilpesh]

Yeah. Scarface and the Fly are great remakes too.

Never seen it. And, oooooooh yeah. See? Good remakes don't go down as remakes, just good movies.

 

[Octoberist]

As long as they do a good job, I guess it's fine. But I think the principle that bothers right now is that every week, there's a new announcement of a remake or two. It's never been like this before.
