Classic Movies butchered for profit.

You know they only remake them, because it's an easy way to make Money, take old films and remake them for the Mass Market. I also hate the way that they take a lot of foreign films and Hollywoodise them.

Godzilla (Pure Shite), where was the man in Big comedy suit stamping on Cardboard villages.

Ring, freaky as hell Japanese horror, add the word The to the begining and you have the horrible American remake, I mean what the HELL was up with adding the horses. they have also remade Ring 2, guess what they called it. Just wait I'm positive that The Ring 0 will be here soon.

Taxi (& Taxi 2), Brilliantly funny French film, I don't even want to think about what they may have done to it.

I advise you to see the following films before Hollywood gets hold of them:

Versus - Brilliant Japanese horror featuring, martial arts, guns, swords & zombies, How could they go wrong.

The Happiness of the Katakuris - Japanese comedy, wierd as hell don't want to say to much just watch it.

Audition - Japanese Horror (I quite like japanese films)
Shaolin Soccer
The Eye
Zatoichi
Ichi The Killer
Dead or Alive - Bit strange especially when you see the end & realise that there is 2 sequals
Boiling Point - Stylish Action film, back when John Woo made good films.
City on Fire - Strictly speaking already remade, as Tarintino swiped half the plot for Reservoir Dogs.

There is probabaly loads more, try anything by Takeshi Miike (unless easly offended, they can get a bit sick, aka Ichi The Killer) his films are generaly a bit wierd/disturbing but original and way more interesting than most of the Turd hollywood Dumps on us.
 
Now THIS makes me severely ill...
They are currently filming the movie version of The Honeymooners.
Get this, the part of Ralph Kramden is being played by Cedric the Entertainer.
Seriously.
DIE HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vanilla Sky is another. That shit was definitely "Hollywoodized".

I was on a site the other day looking at movie trailers. I am shocked at how many remakes are coming out these days. Hollywood has lost its mind. Creativity and originality have gone out the window.

A few i saw on the list:

The Amityville Horror--(i do have to say this does look a lot less cheezy than the original.)

The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy

Bad News Bears -- (WTF?)

Has anyone seen the trailer for a movie called Sin City? Looks like it could be a good one to see.

If you haven't seen it yet, check it out here:

Sin City is based on the amazing comic series by Frank Miller. It is really fucking good. Lots of violence in the "Town without Pity". Elijah Wood is in the movie & the character he's playing, Kevin, is very twisted (if they do him true to the comics). Mickey Rourke is starring in the movie as the character Marv. He's the really ugly guy with bandages on his face in the ads. The character is in the first book "The Long Hard Goodbye" (I believe that's its name now. It used to be called just Sin City.) If you like violence, prostitutes with machine guns & cannibalism check out Sin City. BTW the new Batman movie is based on Frank Miller's "Batman: Year One" story from the 80's. Hopefully they won't fuck up Batman again, like those last two homosexual Batman's. Nothing is gayer than flourescent lighting everywhere & Bat-nipples.
