Dynaman Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 That right there is an insult to Killer Klowns. Well, stick me with a silly straw and pass the popcorn. Terrible - TERRIBLE movie, and I loved every minute of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Point Break isn't exactly a film that I had high regards for so a reboot doesn't both me. Moving forward this new film's stunts look amazing and is going for a modern 'Occupy Wallstreet' story with unknown actors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving forward this new film's stunts look amazing and is going for a modern 'Occupy Wallstreet' story with unknown actors. I also see the original Point Break as an okay film. I originally didn't have any interest on watching it until I picked up Hot Fuzz. Other than that, the whole extreme sports theme is just so out of style. Would've made more sense if they did this in the late '90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think a Starman remake could work film or even as a TV series, again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape from L.A. would be second, as it feels more corporate-controlled than Carpenter's own works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of "Assault", there was a french remake in 2002 that is a totally awesome movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280990/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check it out. I didn't think too much of the Hollywood remake, which funnily enough also directed by a frenchman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric indigo Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 The first minutes of the 2005 "Assault" are pretty intense when Hawke looses his team, but after that the movie quickly fizzles away into lameness. "The Nest" only needs some minutes to put the players on the board, and then the suspense never stops. It also takes some nods to the original, like hails of bullets perforating walls in stylized shots, and the assaulters being a faceless swarm, disguised by their night vision goggles, gives it an "Aliens" feel. Director Siri later made "Hostage" with Bruce Willis, which wasn't a huge success, but I also like this movie for it's suspense and Ben Foster's really creepy character.

I've got Carpenter on my Twitter, and he has said nothing about it, I'm guessing he's not part of it.

I agree with that production decision. ... Old ambulamce in the original? Hilarious + stylish. There was a method with Ray loving the classic car-ness of it. This is a hurse no one could possibly love for its aesthetic. Working in a mom's 90's mini-van for cheap would have been funnier / more functional.

This is a hurse no one could possibly love for its aesthetic. Working in a mom's 90's mini-van for cheap would have been funnier / more functional. This is an old Cadillac. There are enough people who think Cadillac = good that there are people who do actually love the late 80s hearse aesthetic. A hearse or an ambulance also have a connection to ghosts, and neither of these wagon-body caddies is quite as depressing as a minivan. These are the choice of somebody who, despite having no solid reason to anymore, still has his masculine pride, more than the good sense to buy an old Toyota minivan because look at how spacious it is, and reliable too. Besides, the original car was just a 25 year old junker in its time. All the taxis hailed from around the same period, and they were all junk too. Late 50s Cadillacs didn't become classics until the 80s destroyed them all. The Ecto-1 from the originals was the result of one man's odd taste in cars (and his tiny budget with which to buy and maintain one). I think that carries over just perfectly with the new car.

TangledThorns Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Well it had to happen eventually. The Last Starfighter is charmingly fun but the effects have not held up at all.

Thom Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Ecto-1 should have style and presence shooting out the tail pipe. It's gorgeous curves are like a 1940's pin-up. It caught my eye not because it was a 25 year old clunker, but because even when it was beat up and ratted out, it was still beautiful. Yes, I understand that the 'new' Caddy (not calling it Ector-1) is generationally in the same spot, but it is nothing like the original. No style. No flare. Just a brick painted white. With a yellow light on top... Yellow!!!?! And the group photo looks like they broke out of a correctional facility... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
