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.

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.

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

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.

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