Y’all should checkout the Rewatchables podcast with Bill Simmons. He reviews a lot of the movies y’all have previously mentioned. Pretty entertaining.

My Dad used to watch all of the Trinity movies all of the time. I have probably watched those more than any other western.

Doing the usual Saturday morning routine with the kids and some weird corner of my brain randomly lit up with this epiphany:
No one in this thread mentioned Big Trouble in Little China!

I believe the Rock is talking about doing a remake which will be nowhere close to the original.

Yeah, I've heard about that. What a travesty. Maybe more of a "reboot" than "remake"? Regardless, it's a ridiculous idea. May as well "reboot" the Godfather movies with Vin Diesel, Citizen Kane with Jack Black, Gone with the Wind with Amy Poehler, or The Ten Commandments with Tom Cruise. Vito Corleone, Charles Foster Kane, Scarlet O'Hara, Moses, Jack Burton . . . . Some roles are just too sacred to mess with.
But seriously, what's with this kind of crap? Is it really that hard to come up with new ideas for movies?
ETA: Oh, and it now occurs to me that the gif I posted from this movie on Saturday morning turned out to be a spot-on preview of our offense in the Kentucky game later that evening. Yikes . . . .

Though I agree in principle, there have been some really great remakes, re-boots, and late-sequels over the years: The Thing, Bladerunner 2049, 3:10 to Yuma, The Color of Money, Oceans Eleven (the original remake, not the new reboot), True Grit, The Longest Yard, Planet of the Apes (not the Tim Burton one, but the new ones), Dredd, Mad Max: Fury Road, Creed, etc. That's been a Hollywood practice since the beginning of cinema. Though for every decent to good remake, there are a dozen piles of shit eagerly seeking a money grab.
Speaking of film profit, it's really disheartening that a film made with such reverence and love for the original subject matter, like a Bladerunner 2049, could bomb at the box office, yet a Ghostbusters, any Michael Bay film, and the hordes of shitty horror movies will absolutely clean up.

No doubt, Beardo. I'm fine with new takes on old ideas, just as I am with continuing a story with existing characters so long as there is fertile ground left to be tilled. Re-telling old stories is part of the point of having the story in the first place. But as you said, for every worthwhile reinvention of an old story -- another great example is Last of the Mohicans, which was made into a film many times before Michael Mann created his masterpiece in the 1990s -- there are a dozen piles of poo.

I think it helps when the remake is for a movie old enough that most haven't seen the original. It also helps if the remake is using new technology like Planet of the Apes (no obvious ape masks). My wife liked the first Transformers movie after that the plot is just so nonexistent that we hated them. I have watched them when they come on HBO or something but I find that I am always trying to figure out what is happening. It is literally explosion porn. It seems like they write the movie as they go along.
Ghostbusters was also just not good. Feig wanted to blame the blowback on sexism but the truth is that it just wasn't a great movie. It wasn't very funny and Melissa McCarthy was kind of boring. A lot of her movies are like watching Adam Sandler do the same skit in every scene.
