Stop w/ The Remakes

[raybbaby]

Maybe if they did then the shark would work this time.

This is the problem though. If everything had worked right in the original;, it wouldn't have been as scary. The malfunctioning shark (which would be all CGI now) left the director and editor to rely on that unforgettable "Jaws" theme and our imaginations to really scare us. And of course your imagination will conjure up fear worse than any graphic display of dismemberment ever will. Just someone swimming along, and those first two notes of the music, duh-dunh......... All that watery blackness underneath you, who knows what could be waiting....but we all know, cuz we've heard the music start. That person in the water is in TROUBLE like nobody knows. You cannot replace that terror with a bazillion dollars worth of hi-tech, everything-spelled-out-for-you visuals. I'm boycotting all this garbage.

Hollywood is trying to destroy all the good stuff from the 80s.

That Jaws theme, as simplistic as it was, is much more effective than all the high-tech imagery in the world.

I'll gladly join you in the boycott.

I don't consider it a remake if it's based on a book ie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I actually think Robocop will be amazing with Darren Aronofsky behind the project. The original, while revered by many, isn't all the spectacular.

Man on Fire was another remake I found successful.

[Legend]

Aside from remaking old movies and tv shows, i think they should stop remaking japanese horror films,seriously they are remaking two classic movies old boy and sympathy for lady vengeance.

Oldboy was awesome, though it's based on a comic and I believe they're adapting from that. Though it's fucking Will Smith, so he'll ruin it.
