Movie Re-makes! Yes and Nos!

Recommended Posts

Seeing as we are stuck in a day and age with never ending movie re-makes...

What movies do you think should be remade and what movies should never be touched again?

I'd like to see them remake Super Mario Bros, because anything will be better than that first movie. X'D

I also think they should remake X-Men and completely relaunch the movie franchise like they did with Hulk.

Jaws should never be re-made. That movie is perfect. ^_^

Starship Troopers (This time follow the book, use real actors (all the actors in the first one where great but the other two movies had shitty c ranked actors), don't fuck up movie 2 and 3 by changing the cast.

Who framed roger rabbit, only replace the rabbit him with the joker XD.

Broke Back Mountain, only replace it with two girls.

Last remake I saw I didn't know it was a remake, Death Race.

It's hard to say... Mad Max?... 1st one sucked, but the sequels were better... Meh I'd rather not see an explosion of remakes until 3D looks real enough not to rely on generic actors... I guess also a remake of Robocop 2 & scrap whatever Robocop 3 was for that remake.

Oh!... How about The Network starring Sean Connery!...

The whole purpose of remakes to me is special effects and not relying too much on storylines. Yesterday I saw Get Smart and I laughed my ass off because that movie I thought was great with humor and special effects. I haven't seen its original series in the 70s(?) I suppose so I didn't waste my time compare how accurate that movie was with the original series. So I don't see the point of re-re-remake of things that probably similar to a decade old special effects and probably suck it more on the storyline. The only things that have a shot at is of those that are old series/movies imo.

For example..if some idiot really wants to remake or make a sequel of Titanic, let it mangle with extra background touch like a similar eventish disaster in outer space because you have already done in the earth. Bring something new to it. Don't repeat the same shit over and over.

I saw the series & prefer it over the movie, but still liked the movie. Mainly because I prefer the original Maxwell Smart's voice. I didn't really watch the series though after he & 99 had kids.

Sequel of Titanic haha! The day that happens is the day we will know Hollywood is getting desperate and running out of ideas.

I thought they already were. Why else would we be innudated with crappy supposed-to-be-comedies like Balls of Fury? *gag*


Yesterday was the deadline for all complaints!

      I've gotten annoyed with managing my digital movie and tv series collection. It didn't bother me before because Netflix had pretty much everything. I'd never have to search for stuff on my hard drives or old dvd-rs because it would all be on Netflix. Now that Netflix has dropped about 50% of their content over the last couple years and will lose significantly more once all of Disney's properties are removed next year I've realized all my old dvds, blu rays and digital movies are all getting more use again. This is were plex comes in.
      I setup plex on my main pc, moved a bunch of movies and tv series into some folders and set plex to use those folders. This program auto grabbed all meta data for the content, images, etc and is basically a Netflix clone. I was shocked by how efficient this is. I installed the plex client app on my ps3, ps4 and roku stick and as long as my pc with the plex server is running I can now stream all my content to every tv in the house. It even keeps track of where i left off in a movie and i can resume it on a different device if I want.
      So I bought a 4tb hard drive yesterday and I'm going all in on this. I'm going to rip a bunch of my dvds and blu rays (the ones that don't have a digital copy) into mkv files and throw them on that hard drive for my plex. I'll try putting my old anime avi files (with hard coded subs from back in the old download days) in there to to see if plex can play those too.  Plex will even organise by genre to so it all works good. And plex is free.
      I was thinking about buying a nvidia shield because it can be used as a plex media server instead of just a client like the PlayStation/roku apps but it looks like it has some limitations with file types and my old anime files would definitely not play on it unless i converted every file thru some program called handbrake. I'll look into that some more.
      I figured I'd share this in case anyone else was getting annoyed with Netflix and every company making their own Netflix clones. Instead of paying every company a piece of the pie it'll be cheaper in the long run to just make my own Netflix with the content i already own that is already tailored to my preferances. And plex can stream outside of your home in 720p if you go on a road trip. I doubt I'll ever use that feature tho, especially with upload rates being shit with spectrum.
      Go to https://www.plex.tv to get the media server and the PlayStation/xbox store/roku/android to download the plex app. I know this topic seems like am advertisement but they're paying me nothing and it's all free downloads anyway. it just works and works great.

      I have noticed the selection isn't nearly what it used to be. Back in the day I'd search for a movie and 80% of the time it was on netflix. Now I don't even use the search feature because the last 20 movies I've searched for are never on there. Netflix used to be this great replacement to blockbuster with every movie made available, but now it looks like all the content rights holders and networks are pulling their properties off and either selling the rights to other streaming services like Amazon Prime or Hulu or they're making their own streaming service like CBS all access. I'm tempted to cut my cable and switch to streaming only services but I still haven't found a combo of apps or services that will give me the channel selection or content I fully want. I already have amazon prime and netflix. But to replace cable I figure if I go with Sling blue with HBO and starz, hulu, hbo go (part of my cable package now), and over the air HD antenna I'd have the majority of the channels I watch with cable except for science channel. I'd probably save about $30 a month over my current cable plan. Anyone use Sling?
      Also, with the companies pulling their content from netflix and making their own streaming services, maybe in the near future cable will actually be a good deal again compared to being nickel and dimed by all the different apps? I do like seeing different streaming services offering competition like Sling and PlayStation VUE, but I still feel on the fence about actually cutting off my cable for streaming only.

      If Nintendo had Pixar make their movies while maintaining control of the property so another "Super Mario Bros." live action fiasco never happens again, they could make some really awesome movies. But if Nintendo teams up with some companies in Japan that did the live action death note or attack on titan movies, this could lead to some huge flops.
