STOP REMAKING EVERY FILM EVER MADE YOU FESTERING, MALODOROUS, IGNORANT, FECKLESS

why would anyone respectable take it on?

It’s “Hollywood”, who the **** is respectable there?

I know Tank Girl wasn’t a massive success first time round, but I enjoyed it. Happy to give a reboot a chance, especially with Ms Robbie!

#MargotRobbie will be producing the reboot of #TankGirl. With director Miles Joris-Peyrafitte secured, Ms.Robbie may also star in the film. No production dates at this time. Thoughts on this reboot? Leave a comment below ?! pic.twitter.com/YAikHy0Zvm

Lori Petti was a pretty good fit for Tank Girl I thought, the rest of the film was a little odd, but still not a bad match to the graphic novels. I’m not likely to forgive them for using SA80s as the “futuristic” guns though.

Well played Cary Elwes.

What kind of hubris would lead anyone to even consider remaking The Princess Bride? Talk about setting yourself up for a fall.

Not exactly a remake, but vaguely relevant to the discussion,

I bet it feels like Groundhog Day eh OP?

Stallone is making another RAMBO movie at 75 , punishing pesky Mexicans for raping folk , what’s he gonna do tut at them ??

Sad. Just ‘plane’ sad

We just watched the remake of Whisky Galore (with Gregor Fisher). As good as, possibly even better than, the original.

God damn, Top Gun Maverick looks

AMAZING!

Whisky Galore the remake was ace ! as is True Grit  by the Coen brothers which is super.

God damn, Top Gun Maverick looks

There’s a few-page thread somewhere from a couple of months back.

… here, in fact.

Negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full

Yeah @winston you’re outnumbered with that one.

Re: Tank Girl – I have a sketch of her on the lining of a leather bike jacket, drawn by Jamie Hewlett while he was working for Deadline magazine, along with drawings by a couple of the artists on the mag.

They’re remaking The Thing, again….

I thought Top Gun was naff and won’t bother watching the new one (even the trailer). To keep Winston company, like.

Because the world needs a spin-off about the paedo bowler from The Big Lebowski?!?

EDIT: How the reviewer managed not to describe it as a “Turkey” I’ll never know.

Empire did a superb feature on John Turturro, shame the film’s crap!

Hows this for a pointless remake-

Yeah it’s naff but it’s entertaining.

Reboot or remake? Who cares, it’s already dead.

Can’t be any worse than the original, I suppose

Ambivalent at best about this one.
‘Lion’ Director Garth Davis To Direct Disney’s New ‘Tron’ Movie With Jared Leto

not seen Knight Rider 2000 then 😂 Makes the original look like The Wire.

Tron is awesome, Tron Legacy was somehow weirdly great too, the law of averages alone means the new one will be shit 🤣

not seen Knight Rider 2000 then 😂 Makes the original look like The Wire.

That was about the Three Men remake. Oh, and no, never seen KR2000, which is surprising, because I have seen the Point Break remake…

Suspect you’re right about Tron, too!

not seen Knight Rider 2000 then 😂 Makes the original look like The Wire.

Not seen Knight Rider 2010 then?

No!! 😭 weird as I have seen Team Knight Rider (also shit) which came later

Looking at Wiki there’s also a 2008 movie/series reboot that totally passed me by!

Will Smith, Kevin Hart to Star in ‘Planes, Trains & Automobiles’ Remake

We just watched the remake of Whisky Galore (with Gregor Fisher). As good as, possibly even better than, the original.

It was God awful

FFS

Will Smith, Kevin Hart to Star in ‘Planes, Trains & Automobiles’ Remake

FFS indeed! Just why? The original is a brilliant comedy if you stop it ten minutes from the end. Watch it all and it’s unbelievably sad.

Not all remakes look too bad…

Should have tried harder in history.

There were black people in Britain around the time of the Romans

Aye, maybe around the ports but in Sherwood forest 😕 I think not.

But I wonder if they are remaking these films to remove non PC elements from it 😕

I know it’s a sequel, not a remake, but is there really a single person in the entire world who wants to see another Rambo movie?

I watched this a couple of nights ago. Not sure why. Was as bad as you’d expect – I was hoping for something more along the ‘ageing warrior’ stuff, but it was Expendables rather than Creed.

Low class Taken coupled with Home Alone, the last third making the home defence bit of Skyfall look classy and realistic.

Aye, maybe around the ports but in Sherwood forest 😕 I think not.

There have been remains found in Fairford in Gloucestershire dating about 900-1200AD of that of a black woman in her 40’s (I think) probably a slave. Black folk in medieval England were more common than most folk think.

I feel for folk trying to make Batman films. You’re never going to meet the expectations of lots of the audience, who only ever want the Batman that exists in the head to made into a film…You’re always going to piss someone off.

At least the baddie appears not to be the Joker this time.

Not all remakes look too bad…

TBH it’s quite hard to tell from that trailer, and yet another Batman reboot? Really?

I mean the Nolan batman movies were only ten minutes ago, and were pretty good. Can’t we just wait a minute?

I kind of want them to let the joker be, the character had lots of potential as played by Heath Ledger (which can’t really be realised now) and the Joaquim Phoenix ‘Joker’ was a good exploration of a possible origin story… But I can’t help thinking the bar has been set a bit too high and a bit too recently and they’re going to balls it up…

yet another Batman reboot? Really?

You’re going to love The Flash solo film when that comes out then. Looks like it’s going to feature both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck, both playing different versions of Bruce Wayne.

Something, something… multiverse…

yet another Batman reboot? Really?

Yes. They’re very popular and make the company millions which is what they want.

There have been remains found in Fairford in Gloucestershire dating about 900-1200AD of that of a black woman in her 40’s (I think) probably a slave. Black folk in medieval England were more common than most folk think.

Yes I grant you that there was indeed the possibility of slavery, but more bonded labour as this was the feudal era.99% of bonded slaves would be white. A black slave would be something exotic, and not be as common as you suggest, a rare sight, and then only in the company of a lord or merchant class, although having a black manservent didn’t become fashionable until the 17th century.

A single skeleton of someone who died are the very old age of 40+(old indeed in the poor classes, unless food was good and that again points to the owner being wealthy, and the ‘staff’ reasonably well cared for. I expect where the remains were found would play a part in determining who her servitude was with.

All tha said, with the portrayal being a Muslim, that would play out, in the role of a friend to a crusader, as Africa beyond the north was quite uncharted, and slavery a common practice int he Ottoman Empire. Someone from abroad in that role would likely be of similar portrayal, but the same horror and shock reaction from the public would remain, because black or people from outside the UK or even Europe would be very very uncommon in the 12th or 13th century.

Dyna-Ti you’re in for a shock when you also find out Robin Hood didn’t exist and Alnwick Castle isn’t in Nottingham.

I don’t know where to start with this one.
