The Last Starfighter is a good movie, funny, and clean! I would not trust anyone in Horrorwood to do a remake. I had it on VHS. Have to see if I can find one on cd.
They have it on blueray at the library near where I work. ;-)
I agree. I loved the bit with the device that when worn you had an instant translation of the language the other person is speaking. I think that technology might be right around the corner.
Secondly, you point about hollywood remakes.
My all time fav Sci Fi is The Day the Earth Stood Still. I watch it frequently, maybe not to the end, but whenever I’m overly tired and need to watch something to push sleep.
I looked forward to the remake, only to hear that instead of concern for Earth harnassing nuclear power that might jeopardize the universe...It’s (are you ready) our neglect of our planet.
Never went to see it.
I happened to watch it this weekend and was impressed. It’s just a good story. One thing that stood out was that the girl responded to her guy’s heroism by choosing to be with him and to follow him, and that this happened without irony.
