In other news, I think Iron Man 2 looks good and i think you left off clash of the Titans.
Clash of the Titans: Titans will clash
Nah- it was a re-branding. The franchise was much more successful after that.BigBallinStalin wrote:How bout the Romans remaking the Greek gods?
Fucking bullshit.
Do you mean the Roman names are more well-known? Or the Greek names gained more popularity after the "re-branding."Symmetry wrote:Nah- it was a re-branding. The franchise was much more successful after that.BigBallinStalin wrote:How bout the Romans remaking the Greek gods?

I'd argue the planet names are more old-fashioned in the popularity they illustrate, and that most all the Greek names are more popular than the Roman ones.Symmetry wrote:Well, once you get your brand name attached to a planet, I'd say you've done well.the.killing.44 wrote:Do you mean the Roman names are more well-known?

Er.. trainspotting was an adaptation of the Irvine Walsh book and the sequel Porno might eventually be made.Pedronicus wrote:the fact that dumb arse fuckers pay money to go and watch a remake only keeps the remake industry in business. Don't blame the film makers - blame the paying customers who make it all worthwhile for the film makers.
Lock Stock?
Bend it like Beckham ?
Brassed off?
Trainspotters?
No remakes, no sequels. Just good original films made on a small budget, no special effects.
Special effects nowadays leave me cold. You can make a computer generated dog cheaper than to train a dog.
This is pretty much what I think. I'm more bothered by pointless remakes and adaptations. Movies that do nothing but cash in on the popularity of something else. Pointless was kind of the keyword when I wrote the OP.nagerous wrote:Er.. trainspotting was an adaptation of the Irvine Walsh book and the sequel Porno might eventually be made.Pedronicus wrote:the fact that dumb arse fuckers pay money to go and watch a remake only keeps the remake industry in business.

I think everyone is agreed with the premise though that sequels on the whole suck, sure theres a few good sequels out there (Aliens, Godfather II) but the majority of them are pieces of shit designed to make money from fan boys rather than being clever in any way.
