    I’m waiting for “Quisp vs. Quake: Day of Reckoning.”

  • Remember when Quisp ‘won’ the election? Man, that was total bull%$#.

    Kurt Wimmer? Yeesh, what does it take to kill a career in Hollywood these days if the man who unleashed Ultraviolet upon an unsuspecting world can still find work?

    Tony Scott talks Warriors

    He began his interview with, and I quote, “Wa~arriors! Come out to play-ay!”

    Because that was such a pivotal role in the original…

    To quote Deborah Foreman, gag me with a spoon.

  • Hasimir:
    In Hollywood, its not whether you succeed or fail, but the magnitude of your success or failure.

  • You missed the Short Circuit remake! They just hired a writer!

    I’m waiting for the remake of Vibes, personally. I think that will be the final straw.

    In a world where cartoon supervillainly and movie “reimaginings” rule the day there is only one hero who can stretch your suspension of disbelief to the breaking point… Stretch Armstrong! You won’t believe that you paid money to see this movie!

    On a related note, I would totally pay to see a Bud Manstrong movie. “Does he have a Smurf living there or what?”

    What no poorly conceived sequels? 302: The Rise of Sparta!

  • What, no Lifeforce remake? I could name at least a dozen “actresses” who would happily reprise the Mathilda May role. Maybe that’s the ticket for the remake… It’s an army of naked vampire women.

    Ultraviolet was bad, but Equilibrium was awesome. I’d say Kurt’s batting .500, so I’m willing to give him a chance.

    Then again, why are we remaking Total Recall? I mean, I know there’s no new ideas, but can’t we even pretend any more?

    Why remake Total Recall? To see what an alternate version would look like. As you probably know, the adaptation was kicking around for a decade before it became a Schwarzenegger vehicle. What would the David Cronenberg / Richard Dreyfuss variation have been like?

    However, I’d lay odds that a remake would start from the finished movie, jettison all the Phil Dick material and double-up on the Schwarzenegger customizations.
