I don't remember whether that was any good. The second one sucked, but the third one was the best of the sequels, I think. The summer Tim Burton's remake came out, we watched all five movies. It was fun times.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Fox has long recycled basic plots. How to Marry a Millionaire is Moon Over Miami minus the songs. So, if I'm fine with a remake of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes if it's a vehicle for Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, and Lauren Bacall. Otherwise, um, no.

Are they going to go the whole nine yards and dig up Roddy McDowall to star in this thing, Weekend at Bernie's-style?

Back from the Noir City double-feature at the Castro. Tonight's theme, Bad Girls of Noir: One Girl's Confession and Women's Prison. I haven't enjoyed the movies that much in a long time.

Our wings are not tired.
Sweeeeeet! I just got an email from the Paramount in Oakland about upcoming films. We need to choose at least one to hit.

move out and draw fire
Which sounds like Fox is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for material to remake
Hollywood's remade Zardoz. How much more bottom can you get?

Hollywood's remade Zardoz.
What!?!??!? I missed that somewhere along the line. Why, dear lord, why?
Of course, even if the original was good, I'd ask "Why?" because I don't get the rationale for director-oriented films being remade.

Because books.

When they remake Cabin Boy ?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I did see facetious remarks that Book of Eli was a Zardoz remake. It was pretty funny. But I haven't seen anything in seriousness.

When they remake Cabin Boy ?
In my opinion, that movie is totally worth it for Ann Magnuson as Shiva.
