What's up with the pathetic remakes of shit

movies are cool. here is a place to talk about how cool they are. or maybe how much they suck, sometimes. like that fucking piece of shit 'mac and me'. worst fucking movie ever, a two-hour ad for fucking coca-cola.

Speaking of remaking things, Leo DiCaprio is remaking The Island of Dr. Moreau. This will be the sixth, perhaps seventh adaptation. (It depends if you want to include silent French films from a century ago.) But really, what fresh perspective could you possibly bring to yet another attempt? They're fucking animal people. It's been done.

You cannot top the Kilmer/Brando version.

Yeah, I liked that movie. And I thought "Kevin" was fucking awesome. Sue me. Or blow me. Same difference.

Of course it was awesome. It had Batman, Jor-El, Professor Lupin, Dorothy Gale, Jango Fett, and Hellboy in it. Oh, and Marc Dacascos too. All directed by Michael Bay's dad at the last minute.

I think I just saw something about RoboCop that should end all discussion:
anarky's brother on Facebook when he posted the trailer wrote:HELL YEAH I'M THERE!!!

I see the remake of Carrie starts on Friday.
I soundly reject the premise. If I were a teenage boy going to high school with Chloe Moretz, I would not treat her as a freak and an outcast. I, and every other teenage boy in the School Entire District would be trying to get my fingers in her tight clam. I rigorously call bullshit.

Maybe she's a freakishly ugly nerd because she wears glasses.

It's funny how everyone except Hollywood and the porn industry are so totally over the moronic "glasses = nerd = ugly" bullshit. I haven't even seen that shit in a commercial in years, and those dumb bastards are usually the last to get any memo on pop culture (like "that fucking gecko isn't funny").

In fact, maybe "Chicks with glasses" should be a lumberyard thread.

However, I'd like to say, in case the porn industry trolls our forums like the comics industry, simply putting glasses on a woman does not make her a nerd. Those of us who are turned on by nerd girls can tell the difference pretty easily.
