They just cannot come up with anything original anymore.

[BigCinBigD]

I don’t remember. Am I?

[Nachum]

Not really, but I am looking forward to a very good bottle of Pinot Noir this Friday night...

Hollywood is probably working on a remake of "The King's Speech" or "The Black Swan".

Along with "Bridesmaids 2".

We can remember it for you wholesale.

No one will ever write sci-fi like PKD.

No, can’t out do Arnold!

Soon:

Hollywood continues to show its imagination with remakes of:

* Casablanca
* 12 Angry Men
* Marty
* Gone with the wind
* Ben Hur (now, Ben Him?)
* 5 Easy Pieces
* Easy Rider

(note how I added some modern classics for the kiddies who want to redo easier stuff)

There is an old Hollywood saying that you can’t underestimate the audience.

If this remake succeeds, it is proof the adage is true.

Total Recall? Isn't that the TSA fantasy flick?

[SierraWasp]

I have already endured, as have all other CA conservatives, the "Total Recall" that installed the "Terminator" that fooled even many good CA FReepers into thinking he was a conservative. His speech to the 2004 Republican convention sold this "bill of goods" to the entire nation!!!

The end result of such a faux CONservative is that he was more destructive to the conservative movement here that even Gray Davis which, of course has now led Californians into giving Gray's old boss, "Governor Moonbeam" into the governorship once more.

Furthermore, Arnold allowed another faux conservative, Pete Wilson to advise him far too often in far to many issues and that just made matters worse than if we'd had a commie-crat Governer that could have motivated what legislators we had into stopping the commie-crat like we did Gray Davis on the Sierra-Nevada CONservancy that Gray even vetoed 2 or 3 times!!!

I had dreamed of the day we could recall "Dim Bulb Davis" and replace him with an honest-to-goodness conservative with winning ways that would lead to a conservative renisance in CA like we had between Pat Brown and Jerry Brown... Ronald Reagan.

Tom McClintock would have been such a man but all the amateur king makers even here on FR let Arnold seduce them into thinking that Tom couldn't win the election. They created an obvious "self-fulfilling prophecy" and the rest is now a devastating liberal history for the tarnished "Golden State!!!"

Now all we're left with here are "lamentations" in a public policy leach field!!!

A remake of Total Recall?

That’s silly. It’s not old enough to merit a remake, and it was well done in the original. There’s nothing that new technology really has to add.

Though... If anybody is listening... If you want to remake something then please fortheluvvaGod please remake Titanic.

Hollywood? Why don’t they make a movie about the birth of Obama.....or.....how Obama saved us from people making 150K+.....or how Obama cured all diseases with National Health Care.....or...How Obama “”equalized” America???

[R_Kangel]

..... Strangely .... I kno a bit about this flick. Worked on it ... There are a few ... And intreresting changes and concepts to the film ..... OK .... The new audience and generation will see something and different than what we of old saw.

So ... My question to all here is ..... If a story can be told and maintain the original concept ... And REVEAL the concept and maintain that concept and pass it on to a NEW generation of leaders .... ..... Should we cast it asside .... Or pass it on to the successors?

...... The future of this world just may rely on what we do NOW .... To laugh and jeer at it now .... May be to the demise of this ideal and the future ..... And destiny of this world :-(

..... Choose wisely.

Only if they get the damn physics of decompression right....

They could start with Protector...

[dfwgator]

[hosepipe]

A remake of PollyAnna staring Jackie Evancho would be much better..
