These days, Hollywood is getting into remake the movies of '70s. Do you think this is good or bad? We want to see remake? I have little curiosity. But I don't think those remake films are great. I also won't see them in a theater. I'll wait rental DVDs. I loved '70s movies. '70s, '80s, '90s, and 21st century....I like each era's different taste.

Do you think they need remake past glory? Check them out.

I hope they don't remake Dirty Harry.

They're re-maikng...no...re-envisioning "The Hills Have Eyes"

Didn't that guy on the poster die???? How are they going to do a proper re-envision without him? One of the most recognizable faces in movies and I don't know his name.

I wouldn't mind seeing a modernized version of The 5 Deadly Venoms. Could make for a good movie.

That's the funny part about remakes Kenji. They remake good movies and invariably do a poor job of it.

Now, if they made better versions of marginal movies I could understand it.

What this represents to me is lack of imagination. Instead of looking for something new, they try to capitalize on someone else's past success.

There are a lot (ahem) of really great stories that are crying to be made into movies.

Hmmm...well jeez, Ken, even when we cross swords, I do believe each knows what the other is getting at. But "really great stories that are crying to be made into movies" Dear me...might you have, oh , A DAY IN THE LIFE or THE LONG WAY HOME in mind?

Vincent Schiavelli died in December, 2005, and he had a very distinctive face. He was the subway ghost in "Ghost." But I don't think he was in "The Hills Have Eyes." The person on the poster for THHE is even more distinctive looking the Schiavelli, if possible.

I enjoyed the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but for different reasons than I liked the original.

Actually a good point. They Are only remaking movies that have done well. It pretty much makes for a sure fired hit. Somewhere I've heard Hollywood and the music biz is low on ideas, could it be true? If so, they don't know Jack yet!
