Movie Talk
Jan. 17th, 2014 06:45 amDude, Where's my Car? is a cheap homage to American Grafitti.
House of 1,000 Corpses is a better remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre than the actual remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Most horror remakes are shitty. A few are great:
Dawn of the Dead
The Fly
The Hills Have Eyes
13 Ghosts
Red Dragon (original title: Manhunter)
Some are pretty good
The Hitcher
Psycho
Salem's Lot
Halloween
Last House on the Left
Night of the Living Dead (Savini)
I wouldn't say these are definitive list, but those are the ones that come to mind. I also really need to have a lot more Pixar movies. As I was thinking that, Disney sent me a thing to join their movie club. H doesn't have a copy of Avengers, which he totally should. I need a copy of Up, and would like to have Monsters Inc and Wreck it Ralph.
Found out tonight that the head writer from The Daily Show has left to work on John Oliver's new show. This bodes well for Oliver, and HBO, and us viewers. I imagine TDS writing staff is solid enough that this won't be an issue that makes it all the way to us.
