bishop245 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Does it seem to anybody else that hollywood has run out of ideas since all they seem to be able to do is remake movies that are 2 to 20 years old. To me this is BS. I wish those morons would come up with some new stuff not keep rehashing the stuff I have already watched some good some bad and they are remaking all it seems.

sack_patrol Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 They gonna produce whatever makes them a bunch of cash. Who cares abut other stuff. There's just as many morons out there paying to watch this bs that's playing in the movies... so why try to invent new stuff when there's suckers paying for garbage anyway? Then they blame people for pirating... lmao. what a joke. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know right.... seems like all the TV shows are all remakes of years ago and much of the movies are too.... I just seen a trailer for Total Recall....total different story line Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathmineral Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I don't know, I thought making a 3D version of Titanic was a wonderful idea! Seriously, the only good part of that movie is where the guy hanging from the railing lets go and hits the top of that smoke stack, I laugh every time.

Waco Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 It's the same thing that's always happened in the arts. Everything is an evolution or recreation of something that's already been done. The same story, theme, melody, etc...just in different forms. That said, they do seem to be doing the recreation thing a lot more than before in the past 10 years or so. I blame CGI being so cheap compared to doing real special effects. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame CGI being so cheap compared to doing real special effects. It's basically the CoD syndrome. They find something they know will make a ton of money then milk it until sales start declining. I'm hoping that movies and tv will find their "Valve" and their "Humble Indie Bundle" equlivant so that there will be a large influx of new ideas on old stories like there has been in gaming. Granted, CoD still makes golden yacht levels of cash but it's no longer impossible to be an indie dev. Hopefully we will see this trend continue.

wevsspot Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Remakes.... for the most part meh. But some of the remakes, sequels and stories retold / re-imagined coming from Marvel have been excellent IMHO. How can you not like Captain America, The Punisher and Fantastic Four? And moving away from Marvel I personally never get tired of Star Trek or anything Battlestar Galactica Let's just hope and pray that polyester disco pants never come back into style...............

Phil Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I can't believe they remade Total Recall. When it came out it was way ahead of it's time, one of the all time sci fi classics IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I agree Phil.... and the new one doesnt take place on Mars like the old one and stays on current Earth... thats messed up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandoPatriot Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Just FYI Hollywood has been doing this for years, nothing new about it. I think we just see it more today because of easier and cheaper processes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
