Feel free to quietly talk amongst yourselves...
I am not too displeased with movie remakes, some are good, just giving them an update while keeping the core feeling (Friday the 13th for example). But I just wish that those whom own the rights to classics (like The Goonies) would do a better job of protecting them. Have more say in the production of remakes. When a terrible remake happens I think it hurts the original work, by making that what people focus on the new version rather then the old one.
I agree that a couple of the remakes have been good, (like Friday the 13th) but some movies, they need to stay away from. KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF THE THING!!! CURSE YOU!!!!! And Nightmare on Elm Street? I want to punch somebody. Right in the face. Even crazy Sam Raimi is remaking The Evil Dead without Campbell. He’s lost it.
What about the Karate Kid filmed in China?? Shouldn’t they rename it the Kungfu Kid?
Hey Dave, actually there was a rumor that they had changed the name to Kung Fu Kid for a while, but either that never happened, or they changed their minds.
