So Karen you just want bread and circuses and that will keep you docile? Hum how Roman.
Art should lift us up sometimes and Science Fiction is a favorite of mine. Nothing personal, I just hate when they dumb it down.

@karen

If a studio takes it upon itself to remake a beloved classic it needs to be taken seriously IMHO.

Gang.. why don’t you just all relax and grab some popcorn and a coke and see what the big sceen brings. Way too cerebral on this one and if you all love movies , park you brain in you back pocket and enjoy or hate but see for yourselves.

@Rob: Any outside enforcement would just produce cries of foul and restraint of trade from the studios. Of course if forced, it would become another source of confusion added to the rating system. Tacking “O” for original “R” for remake and “S” for sequel. “GO,” “GR,” or “RS” and “RR,” after a time will get new audiences wondering if a movie is rated double “R,”is worse than a rating of just R and factor in NC-17RS or worse PGRS a remakes of a sequel.. Of course extending the standard to TV and you’ll get people wondering about words like “MARS” and what that means compared to “SMARS” or “MASRS.”

Maybe they should make some rule to include the word ‘remake’ in the title of these types of movies, lol.

I am looking forward to this movie as I adore the classic.Remakes never capyure the beauty of the classic version…think King Kong…a good film..but no-where near the 1933 classic for atmosphere and terror…Kong is supposed to terrify you…but somehow we grow to love him by the end…the recent one saw him as a big teddy-bear.
War of the Worlds was another remake…big stars…big director..big budget…but did not scare us like the old one.
I wish they would re-release origeonal classic movies every few years and let us see ‘em on the big screen again…bet you they’d still kick-ass to a whole new audience.

they are changing the story too much, it seems like one of those crappy SNL movies that really dont follow the original so its not as entertaining

Here you go, I’ll start us off :

The What would they say if this was on Mystery Science Theater Game.

The preview is just beginning and our gang are taking their seats..

They shut it down? Yes. For What? For us:Mike says- We’re going to Taco Bell!

Don’t be afraid! Afraid Of What?: Crowe says- My new Thigh master blaster!

However it’s path was recalculated: Mike says- And the pizza arrives late again!

Did you feel that? Feel what? : Tom says- THe sucking sound around this movie. Doctor Benson says- I feel it! Crowe says- Me Too!
Mike and Tom immediately shush Crowe.

This is the most important discovery in the history of mankind! : Mike says- The Whopper they all chime in singing- have it yourr waay have it your way.

What were you before you were human? : Mike says- A feather and Crowe says- a bird and Tom says,- a statue!

Are you aware of an imminent: Mike says- a myocardial infarction?

Any other undertakers?

Working at the feet of Michael Bay attempting to rework another classic, “The Birds,” isn’t what I call a shining endorsement. More like the premise for a SCi Horror film.
Oh no Prof. Quatermass the Bay-monster is cloning itself!

everyone has a valid point but the finish product will be the answer .i just feel cloverfeild came out around the same time last year and to me with the shaky cam was dissapointing. battelfeild was doomed from the beggining because the scientology thing . but this film from Fox who has suffered some clunkers this year but this doesnt look like meet dave . personally scott dickerson is talanted his working on the birds and paradise lost , his come along way from hellraiser and emily rose to me after this film he might be one of the go to guys better than michael bay, i ‘ve read were he met the original director in film school and wants to bring justice to this film and keanu i have gotten tierd of other actors but keanu is like a plant every time i check it out it seems to grow some more so well see..

@Thiz
I remember liking the trailers for “Battlefield Earth” and was very bumped to see it. After seeing it, I wanted to shoot myself….or was it that I wanted to shoot the director? We’re just giving opinions based on what we see in trailers. Hopefully the final product is worth the $8.00 I’ll be spending.

Rob Keyes, “hehe, good post old man”

Thank you!
I tried to limit my comment to only what has been officially released about the movie.

Thiz, I can critique the trailer…

@Thiz

(slaps forehead) Holy cow! I never thought of that!

I can voice my opinion on what I think of the concept of a movie before it airs. If I turn out to be wrong I’ll happily eat my words.

But if someone came up with an idea to remake “Casablanca” and have it take place in East LA with gang-bangers I’m pretty sure that would be a POS without even having laid eyes on a trailer.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you all actually
SAW the film before critiquing it?

Just a thought ….
