My childhood just filed another police report.

Hollywood: They remake movies you hated, make bad remakes of movies you loved, make bad movies based on comics you read & games you play, make mediocre-to-awful sequals you never asked for, & make bastardized reboots of things you enjoyed as a child, all in the name of....freemarket capitolism?

(for discussion: What, if any, recent movies have elicited this reaction from you? I know I'm not the only Gen-Xer around here.)

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Nuff said.

 

[Dr Ampersand]

Well at least they won't have a t.v series follow up, OR WILL THEY?

 

[Lord Krunk]

You're a tad late to the party, aren't you?

Anyway, the trailers look awesome.

Today was the first I'd heard of it. I don't own a television and I haven't been in a movie theater in 11 years (Man on the Moon, and only because I'm a HUGE Andy Kaufman fanatic and Jim Carrey fucking nailed it.) I went into Del Taco...and wanted to cry.

Fair enough. My reasoning was that, assuming you were American and I'm Australian, that you guys should have known about it long before I saw the trailer at the screening of How To Train Your Dragon.

Although whay do you care if you never go to the cinemas anyway?

Principle of the thing. Plus I eat at Del Taco so often (practically live on the stuff) that I will be bombarded with their childhood-assaulting marketing for a month now. Otherwise I'd just be like "Oh, that's nice, I'll ignore you, carry on."

You mess with my burrito-purchasing experience, it's PERSONAL.

Oh well, what can you do? I suggest that you memorise your order and the prices, grab your taco with squinty eyes and have a nice lunch in a park somewhere.

Or something.

<--- see those squinty eyes looking at the rat? I've had girlfriends go three dates before they figured out what color my eyes are.

 

[JS ibanez]

I got this pissed off in a similar way when they decided to remake death at a funeral. by taking a cleverly done english comedy and filling it with black people making silly faces and using the exact same story when there was nothing wrong with the film in the first place. the film wasnt even that old. theres is so much wrong with that remake

A blindfold then? Use the Force to implant the order in their minds, pull the meal toward you and leave.

You'd gain a fan following. I can see it now: Darth Taco they will call you.

And it will be awesome.

A-Team wasn't that fun to watch, it's just another nostalgia fan base consisting of middle aged men, same goes for many more shows and games, SUCH AS!

starsky and hutch
kojak
Zelda
Final Fantasy
Starcraft
Scarface (EVERYONE'S FAVORITE MOVIE! OH MY WHAT A COINCIDENCE)

and whats that sexy motherfuckers name? oh .... SHAFT! hes a bad mother SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

 

[Sakuji]

you forgot Dukes of Hazard, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and it looks like Steven Spieilberg is doing a remake of Close Encounters called Super 8. Whats next, a Magnum PI movie?!

 

[Koeryn]

Had a rape kit done, and as always DNA evidence points to those rat bastard marketing executives in Hollywood who greenlight these violent assaults upon the tender nether regions of my most cherished memories.

Seriously, Hollywood? A fucking A-Team remake? IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE? And just to grind salt into the wound, you choose Del Taco---MY FAST FOOD SANCTUARY, HOME OF EVERYTHING GOOD IN THIS WORLD---to do your merchandising tie-ins. This means every time I go for meaty, delicious Del Beef Burritos, I have to see your memory molestation like the altar boy up the street going into the confession booth.

I hate you, Hollywood. Right at the moment I'd like to drop Castle Fucking Bravo on the city of Los Angeles to wipe it off the map. A-Team. George Peppard's turning in his grave. Damn it all to hell.

(for discussion: What, if any, recent movies have elicited this reaction from you? I know I'm not the only Gen-Xer around here.)

Watch the Losers instead of the A-Team. More or less the same premise as the 'updated' A-Team movie, but I can almost guarantee it's superiority.

 

[DividedUnity]

I loved the old A-team. All that shooting and I dont think I saw anyone die.

They'll definetly not be doing that in the remake I dont think as people today may find it boring in contrast to die hard. The innocence of the A-team ruined. Shame on you hollywood, shame on you.

 

[HardkorSB]

I want remakes of "Columbo" and "Matlock".

 

[Kiju]

You have a very strange, disturbing use of metaphor there, bud. I think you might want to tone it down a bit 'less the Police pay your house a visit simply on principle...

Sting and his band will play a private concert because I used a disturbing metaphor?

Um...what?

I wonder how many people know what you mean by "Castle Bravo".

A conversation between a friend and I:

Friend: Hey, did you hear they are making a A-Team remake movie?

Me: Oh, is Mr. T going to be in it?

Friend: Uh, I don't think so...

Me: Then I don't care.

Indeed, not even a cameo...and they are portraying him as a stereotypical modern ghetto personality instead of the T we know and love
