Couldn't agree more.
Satire is wasted on these people.

You start out okay, with a good, craftsmanlike, study in psychological terror, The Haunting (1963). This comes complete with all the necessary (black and white) gothic accoutrements and shadows, supplied partially by Robert Wise who worked with Orson Welles on Citizen Kane. There are a minimum of special effects. Was it all in the mind, or...?
I saw Tura Satana being interviewed on Dutch TV tonight. If you haven't seen it, I urge you to go out and acquire a copy of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)! :devil:jamesveldon said:As well as being a 'study in psychological horror' it is also a thesis on lonalyness and the need to belong and how groups bond. As well as this it contains a suprisingly (for it's time) positive lesbian character who's sexuality as much as her humanity alows her to reach out to the central character and almost save her from her fate.

Yes. But, who'd play Martin Borman?jamesveldon said:I havn't seen it but I have seen 'Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.' 'I know your tipe, you'r just another prety little virgin whore' best line in a movie ever.
Fancy remaking it?

Well, you could never accuse them of being unambitious. Warner Brothers have set themselves the mammoth task of producing a live-action remake of Japanese anime classic, Akira. Trust us, the effects budget for this one is going to be huge.
AndroMan said:I thought the whole point about AKIRA was that it was a beautifully drawn piece of Manga as a comic and as an animation.
The daft plot was an entirely secondary consideration, when I saw it (several times).
River_Styx said:They're also remaking Dawn of the Dead but not being satisfied with just remaking it they're changing the title as well, into something like The Dead Walk.
I am not amused.
jamesveldon said:Less blood, less politics I supose
River_Styx said:Well the one good thing is that at least they're not calling it Dawn of the Living Impaired.
But still I say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

...Anyhow, what I think should be done about this abomination is fairly simple:
What I'm suggesting is an overseas job to help this country's (UK) Film Industry. We send a bunch of boys over to LA and take the rushes out from under the Yank's noses (and then escape through the busiest traffic jam in the city's history)... Of course we burn the movie as soon as we're all on the Legionnaire. Of course I'm joking (I wish I wasn't), but I do sincerely hope that this... this... insult bombs so bad that it's permenently forgotten.

The Farrely Brothers are to direct a remake of the Chistmas classic 'It's a Wonderful Life'.
The gross-out duo, famous for fart gags and jokes about penises in films such as 'Dumb and Dumber', are to take the helm of the cosy yuletide tale, which originally starred James Stewart as a man saved from suicide by an angel on Christmas Eve.
"We'll try and keep the feel of the original," says Frank Farrely. "There will be fart gags and a great scene with some spunk, but apart from that a gentle yuletide heartwarmer. With barfing!," he laughs.
Jim Carrey will take Stewart's role, with Chris Rock as his angel helper Leeroy.
