  I dislike the trend of remaking classic movies for no reason, or turning old TV series into movies. 
   Really, we're so bereft of imagination that we have to remake some early-60's dreck sitcom?  :thumbdn:


Or the endless reboots, and the reboots of the reboots, and the reboots masquerading as sequels. :GA:

  Some franchises really do drag on far too long.  Let's see some original material!  :arrr:

I think the worst remake ever was the shot-by-shot remake of Psycho. WTF were they thinking?

  Yeah, why remake something if you don't have an original take on it?  :dunno:

The only difference was that the remake was in colour.

  I'm surprised anyone funded this waste of time.  :dunno:

It was a big release at the time.

Could try to name a couple of movie titles, hic et nunc, but but most  horror movies I avoid seeing, tbh. Um, that's not because those moving pictures (in a somewhat 'logical' sequence) scare me shitless when I view them, I tend to laugh aloud realtime watching the movie/way² too far fetched imo too often, but because of when I look at stuff being played on a screen like that.. certain images 'remain' in my brain to pop up later in dreams or what-ever moment.. out of the blue.. when-ever.

Rather not, I feel..

What one takes in.. (air, thoughts, images, water/liquids, 'authority speaking', warmth/coldness, food, plus..) must come out.. (in one way or another).. somehow.

I might get it on Blu-ray. Maybe.

  I'm avoiding anything scary.  I always regret watching horror.  :hide:

It is far better for people to hate you for doing the right thing than for people to love you for doing the wrong thing. Never ever forget that.

Ghostbusters remake
Ew
Actually not too bad. I saw it and prepared to be disappointed but I wasn't. Some pretty funny parts in it.

  I never watch them.  I don't need to know any more about human evil than I hear on the news.  :hide:

I really want to see Suicide Squad.

I avoid watching movies most of the time anymore unless I'm home alone...because it's just a useless endeavor that leaves me angry. SO and the kid will rent movies and want me to watch them...and make them popcorn...and make them pretzels...or want to :blah: :blah: all the way through them.

I hate getting really interested in something and then getting torn away from it to do something, or being unable to even focus on it.

Just tie me to a cot and drip water on my head for 2 hours and torture me instead.  :LOL:
