I'm just saying, do we need to remake two horror classics? does a friggin' redneck teenager need a movie? do they need to make movies about superheroes that suck?

Brodie 08-10-2008 08:48 PM

I think the Friday the 13th remake is valid in its own right, but I agree with him on the idea that what theyre doing to Nightmare on Elm Street is wrong.

Friday the 13th isn't a horror classic. And the original Nightmare on Elm Street has aged horribly. It gets more laughs than screams nowadays. A re-make isn't a bad idea in either case.

Saying a super hero sucks is subjective. While I don't really care about Dr. Strange I'm sure someone out there does. I mean a lot of people like the Hulk and I'm indifferent to the character

Yeah, some people think TMNT is a stupid franchise altogether and I'm sure at least a few of them like Dr. Strange.

Anyways, I think musicals need to stay off of the big screen. They served their purpose before the motion picture was mastered, but now they need to just keep it on stage.

Power Pack has received one of the best boosts and writing teams in years, and it has enough cult appeal to be an animated series and possibly a movie if handled correctly.

The Stryker 08-10-2008 11:42 PM

Hannah Montana is hugely popular, why not capitalize?

Besides, it's not like someone is gonna break into your mother's basement to make you watch these movies.

We live in two completely different types of households, apparently.

TMNT 2.

Ha!

KROW 08-11-2008 02:03 AM

I agree with number 5 on that list.

I don't know how old this is, but there are a few films that we already know about. I'm sure that list contains a few we'd much rather visit a blind dentist than go see.

Of course it needs to be made. How else can we bilk mothers of screaming tweenage girls out of 10 bucks a head by seeing the same thing on TV for free? or at least the cost of a month's worth of cable?

But you know what movies don't need to be made? Those annoying, not funny at all, boring and pointless annual parody movies. GUYS!!! Just go to Comedy Central and make some sort of movie based SNL/ MadTV knockoff featuring the same clips. They play better as TV shows, as they never have a plausable linking storyline that warrents a full movie.

Not to mention I didn't see any mention of a disaster occurring in the trailers for "Disaster Movie"... other than the movie itself.

It was basically an excuse to parody films based on their TRAILERS.... I like CLumsy super heroes as much as the next guy (Gadget and Darkwing are personal gods), but we don't need a film based on Hancock flying into a lampost. Seriously, make a Movie based sketch comedy show. It plays better on TV. If possible...

YES!

I have a friend who thinks these movies are funny as hell... But that's about the only thing that makes me question whether he's 8 or 18

Jester 08-11-2008 01:13 PM

Sometimes those movies work...none of the recent ones mind you (though I didn't mind Superhero Movie) but movies like The Onion Movie and Kentucky Fried Movie were great.

No movie "needs" to be made, some are just more or less deserving than others.

Spike Spiegel 08-11-2008 06:25 PM

That "Star Wars: Clone Wars" that just came out. That definitely did not need to be made.

Oh, how could I forget that? They already did the clone wars cartoon thing, which was really cool. If they were gonna do something like this, they shoulda bridged the gap between episodes III and IV. It might not be as action packed as the clone wars, but I'd go see it.

Really? You've seen it? So you know if it's good or bad? And if Im not mistaken, it's the pilot for the new animated series.

Mr. Snackpants 08-11-2008 09:50 PM

More like threads that don't need to be made.

Ninjinister 08-11-2008 09:51 PM

I'm not a very big Star Wars fan, but I think the Clone Wars film and series are warranted. They hint at this HUGE war all throughout the other movies, and they skip over it, only having a few vaguely-plotted video games, and animated snippets with eye-achingly bad art to fill in the gaps.

Not to mention the fact they didn't have to make the pilot into a theatrically released movie, they thought it would be a great way for everyone to see it, and a novel way to premier it.

A movie that DOESN'T need to be made, "The House Bunny." I was looking at the preview and I thought, where have I seen this before in the Legally Blonde franchise? And then I saw a movie poster that said "From the Screen Writers of Legally Blonde." So they're copying themselves I see. Blonde Bimbos haven't been funny since the Bush Sr. administration. And if guys wanna see a chick doing humiliating things in skimpy clothes, drop the act and just get some porn. it will be a lot less humiliating.

Darth Shredder 08-12-2008 08:00 AM

The live-action Dragonball that, you won't seee hit theaters until next year. Simply by the scarce spoiler material I can tell that it will be Dragonball in name only.

any movie based off a video game

Video Game movies wouldn't be so bad if the directors and writers actually PLAYED the games first. Mario and Double Dragon were both considerably terrible. Though, Mario's charm lies in the actor who played Mario (am I correct if I say Bob Hoskins? I'm sure that's his name). Seems like he brought too much to a film he didn't need to. The rest of it was just trying to name dinosuars and irrelevant characters after characters that appeared in the video game.

And DON'T get me started on Double Dragon.... shudder shudder...

poiuytre 08-12-2008 12:41 PM

Prince of Persia could be good. Based on a decent game, likeable setting and Jake Gyllenhaal is studly awesome actor.

Star Wars: Clone Wars is a movie that I don't need.

"Clone Wars" was already an animated series on Cartoon Network (remember?) that spanned from the ending of Epidode II to the opening sequence of Episode III; so unless there's new stories that they didn't tell with that, again, I don't know why there was a need to make it.

The Stryker 08-13-2008 01:11 AM

Don't see "Clone Wars"

Seriously. It's asstastic.

Drtooth 08-13-2008 08:18 AM

NO no no no! You know what movies that shouldn't be made?

Those horrible Brazillian CGI movie knockoffs

The writing and animation are so poor.... they're blatantly stealing ideas so some myopic Grandparents will get them for their 5 year old grandkids... and they just put forth the effort of an animation student that shows upt to class one day out of 5...

CudleyCowlick 08-13-2008 10:04 AM

Just because you might not like Dr. Strange doesn't mean it shouldn't be made.

I for one, am excited and see no reason why it can't be a great movie.

Hey, I thought Silent Hill was pretty good for a movie based off of a game.

Yes, it was Bob Hoskins, and he was great. The biggest problem for me was John Leguizamo as Luigi. Nothing against him, he impressed me in the preperation he did for Sid the Sloth in Ice Age (as a amature VA his method of creating the character was cool to me.) but he's no Luigi Mario *shutters as he types that.*
