We aim to please. <br /><br />Mozette, might I offer another reason? 3) they know we'll pay again to see it and they're too concerned about the bottom line to take risks on somthing that hasn't been tried. They know Total Recall works. <br /><br />Just watched The Thing (remake number 2!). I was unimpressed. But notice I <i>did</i> watch it.

Don't you love it when they...Aaahh, Hollywood! Don't you love it when they go and fix what's not broken? The Arny film was the best, I have it on dvd (and it was on VCR before that) and I have loved watching it since it first came out on the big screen when I went to see it.<br /><br />However, why make another, duplicate film where they use the best of the best of the best technology all because the last one wasn't of the best of technology? Isn't that the reason to have the old films? <br /><br />For example: I love 'Rear Window'... brilliant Hitchcock at his very best! Then, they did a film a few years back based on a teenager who was under house arrest who saw his back neighbour kill his wife... sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so. <br />So, why make remakes when they're a shadow of the original? Why? Because of two reasons:<br /><br />1. They're greedy as hell.<br />2. They have run out of original ideas to make new and more fantastic films.Mozettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267731815392625679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134363245574237994.post-42648104956145847712012-04-14T07:32:14.512-07:002012-04-14T07:32:14.512-07:00Congrats on the job prospects - obviously I need t...Congrats on the job prospects - obviously I need to change career fields. I do NOT get a free weekly massage as part of my benefits package.<br /><br />OMG I had not heard of the Nerdiest channel ::swoon:: I am SO excited! That sounds awesome.<br /><br />On the other hand, WHY OH WHY did they feel the need to make an EXACT remake of Total Recall? I love the Ah-Nold version just fine! And now I feel an urge to go watch it....LOL!Terri Brucehttp://www.terribruce.netnoreply@blogger.com
