In addition to being moonbat leftists, they are devoid of originality.
No wonder domestic movie watching is down so much.

Okay, Termintor IV and Ghostbusters III are understandable. It's common to milk a successful franchise and I look forward to a new Ghostbusters movie. Remake Robocop? Any of the tohers? Foolishness.

In the remake of Alien the huamns ask themselves why the Alien hates them and then determine it is Bush fault. Then they tie hands with the Alien, sing Kumbaya and bring the man-etaing thing to Earth.

Can we call this the result of a 'Detroit Bubble'. A corporate cultural echo chamber that keeps making products devoid of creativity or integrity. A static institution in a dynamic evolutionary environment that rewards adaptation is eventually going to die. The question is how much else of the society are they going to drag down with them?

...I MIGHT go see a Ghostbusters III or a Terminator sequel that wraps up the story, but I wouldn't touch any of the others with a 12-parsec pole. They were products of their time, and could never, ever be topped. The new The Day The Earth Stood Still - with Keanu Reeves running the gamut of emotions from A to B - is sheer blasphemy compared to the sublime original, especially when you add the PC crap that will certainly be a part of it and all the others.

Real life is bizarre enough for me. Forget the Sci-Fi and remakes. I'll save my money for Australia.
The special effects are STILL up to date. Way ahead of its time."
True enough, BP. But for WAY ahead of its time, check out Lang's "Metropolis".

As has been said times too numerous to mention, who really gives a rat's a$$ what Hollywood does? "Remakes" are simply an excuse for lack of any original ideas. It should be only a matter of time until Hollywood self destructs...one can only hope.

When they remake Mothra I will commence mining Hanna-Barbera material for a workable HR Puffenstuff, Lidsville or Sigmund and the Seamonsters script.

The Day The Earth Stood Still
Is going to be utter shite.
He is here to save the planet from Humanity and Global Warming Climate Change!
A representative of an alien race that went through drastic evolution to survive its own climate change, Klaatu (Keanu Reeves) comes to Earth to assess whether humanity can prevent the environmental damage they have inflicted on their own planet. Klaatu himself already has a negative opinion of humans, and when barred from speaking to the United Nations, he decides they shall be exterminated so the planet with its rare ability to sustain complex life can survive. It is up to Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) and her stepson Jacob (Jaden Smith) to convince Klaatu humans are worth saving: but it may already be too late.

Yes, I believe that the re-make of the Day the Earth Stood Still will join the ranks of the re-makes of Rollerball and the deep sea version of Outland as proof that drugs are bad!

The original "When Worlds Collide", a British Sci-Fi flick created on fifty-cent budget, was so bad it was camp. I read both the novels - "When Worlds Collide" and "After Worlds Collide", and they were definitely stereotypical of 1950's British science fiction - which isn't a complement. Better special effects won't save a lousy script, and the original script was TERRIBLE.

Ah so Klatuu is a faithful Muslim, liek me - ridding the world of Jews (and everyone else in the process, but thats not importants)
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
