What part are they casting for? Slimer?
Badump ba
Movies aren’t holy relics.
They’re entertainment or not…, but calling for censorship because some favorite childhood movie is going to remade or remixed is plain silly.
Don’t like the idea of a movie being made that’s not to your liking?
Oh Boo Hoo!
You poor dear, mommy will get you some ice cream for your hurt feewings and then she wants to remind you’re an adult and it’s time you started acting like one…
No need to be a dick.
Movie serve multiple purposes rather than just a form of entertainment, they really help people escape from their real life situations. It’s a chance to forget your real life stressors or take a trip back to your childhood days. I love going to the movies, it’s cheaper than a trip to the range.
Some people genuinely love movies, for whatever reason they may be.
People view remakes not just as a remake of a old movie, but rather as a insult to a work of art, albeit being made for a new generation is understandable. As long as it keeps the essence of the first, and themes the same.
It’s a hobby like any other. Like sports, guns, cars, but there is no need to berate or belittle others because others feel strongly about it.
Im sure you’re far from a perfect human being, be we aren’t gonna insult you for you faults, that yes without know you, I am 100% sure you have.
Good day.
JulyAZ,
O.K. - So for you movies are holy relics!
To each his own…
To me, they’re simply packaged entertainment and not worth getting bothered about.
If they stopped making movies today, I wouldn’t be bothered in the least.
My deepest apologies for your butt hurt.
Lol you miss understand, no the are far from holy relics.
What I’m trying to make understood, is if you don’t understand it, or view it objectively, then don’t bash others for it. It’s like the gun grabbers they don’t understand it or try to view it from a different stand point, so they want to ban them.
Ignorance is bliss.
JulyAZ,
Curmudgeon that I am, it’s difficult for me to resist mocking that, that others sometimes seem to find so very important, but to me is simply ludicrously laughable.
Cancer research is important.
Movies, not so much…
You posted: “It’s like the gun grabbers they don’t understand it or try to view it from a different stand point, so they want to ban them.”
I find that hilarious, considering so many overly serious movie fans want to ban movies they deem sacrilegious when compared to their beloved “original” movie. I find that screamingly funny!
But, yes, I do get it to a certain degree.
Some people go bonkers over “Beanie Babies” while others collect “Hummel” figurines.
For these folks, such hobbies are wildly important, like movies…
Do you feel the same about other people who grant other forms of media (such as books) greater significance than entertainment value?
You want to stop being a douche for a moment and understand this is the General Discussion forum. And you didn’t have to click on the link.
Suffice it to say there are more important things in life out there. Like actually not being a complete and utter douchebag from the safety of your keyboard about things that don’t interest you. You don’t like the discussion? Don’t ****ing read or reply to it like thousands of others on here that don’t post in topics that they don’t care about. You want to talk about others being childish? That little temper tantrum you posted originally does more to show how much of a child you are than the people posting in this thread. And I can flat guarantee you wouldn’t be shit talking like that to people’s faces.
Grow the **** up and shut the **** up because you’re not mocking anyone.
Some people get bent about showing receipts at Walmart. Can you believe that?
:lol:
For those that didn’t get that . . .

LOL! Awesome even though I realize I’m one of those you are speaking too.
Come on, man. Just because some of us are groaning and rolling our eyes at Hollywood ruining iconic movies doesn’t mean we’re about to protest it in the streets or bomb a movie studio. It just gives us shit to talk about.
Now on that note: The reboot thing has gotten out of control. I can understand rebooting a movie franchise that was popular once but is now dated; take the original story and update it so that modern audiences will be able to better relate. I can understand rebooting a movie that had a good concept but horrible writing; The 2008 reboot of The Incredible Hulk is a good example, and Edward Norton did a good job salvaging the franchise after Ang Lee nearly ruined it 5 years prior.
What I can’t understand is rebooting a movie that is not dated, not irrelevant, and was excellent through and through the first time, ala Raiders of the Lost Ark. I also can’t understand rebooting movie franchises that are less than 10 years old AND were critically acclaimed! For example, Spiderman and Spiderman 2 are both considered among the best superhero movies of all time. Not more than 10 years later they came out with The Amazing Spiderman. Why?? Because too many eternal virgins living in their parents’ basements didn’t like the minor deviations from the comic book? I understood rebooting Batman with the Dark Knight trilogy as the Batman series of the late 80s to mid-90s had gotten really bad after Batman Returns, but Spiderman had barely gone from theater to DVD before they were talking about rebooting it.
Hollywood in general has just sucked lately. I haven’t been excited for a movie in a LONG time, and that really just blows.
The Amazing Spiderman and its sequel were made by Sony in order to do two things:
1- Cash in on the Marvel money parade.
2- Keep the rights to make Spiderman movies from reverting to Marvel and thus to Marvel Studios, which is owned and operated by Disney.
Most of the guys who like the Spiderman comics dislike Sony’s The Amazing Spiderman movies because of the liberties they have taken with the source material - and love the original Toby Maguire Spiderman movies.
Same reason Fox is still making X-Men movies and a reboot of The Fantastic Four.
And to return tit for tat, Marvel (the comics - still owned by Disney) will be downplaying the importance of Spiderman, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four going forward in new story arcs.
