American Beauty


death to remakes

Despare 04-28-2008 07:55 PM

The Fly, I REALLY didn't like American Beauty and repeated viewings did nothing to change my mind in the slightest. As far as remakes go, some actually make the existing material better. If people weren't constantly trying to improve things we'd be quite behind by now.

The Fly remake was a mess, Body Snatchers remake screwed up the story- particularly the crappy ending...

and The Blob? Bleck.


I will not praise crap just because it's popular. :cool:

Comparing crap to turds doesn't turn the crap into gold.

Our tastes in film is pretty much diametrically opposed- you're going to have to agree to disagree here.
