Saw the remake of Mechanic sucked big time.
Having fun unblocking my daughters WC “stop using so much f**cing toilet paper girl”..
Has Hollywood ever made a great remake??
Ponder on that and get back to me..

“Saw the remake of Mechanic sucked big time.”

Yeah...remake of “The Killer Elite” sucked too.

TP: Replace with baby wipes and throw in the garbage.

“Has Hollywood ever made a great remake??”

“An Affair To Remember”
“The Thing”

I don’t know about “great” but I can think of some “good” ones.

SCARFACE. How about “The Fly”, I didn’t even know that was a remake. I enjoyed Naomi Watt’s King Kong.

Going into it, I already figured Hollywood would f*** up “Red Dawn” as a remake, so I was a little biased towards it ahead of time.

But actually, I didn’t think it was all that bad.

The original though was excellent. Open season on the commie bastards, and the local democrat mayor who collaborated was a nice touch... Well done.

And here’s an aside: Even though they’re not from the time period specified... Last night on Turner Classic, they showed “Little Ceaser” “The Public Enemy”, “White Heat”, and “The Roaring Twenties” back to back. Great old time gangster flicks.

I enjoy watching those when they’re on. “Key Largo” was on late, so I didn’t get to see it, but it’s on again later this week, earlier.

“The Big Heat” with Lee Marvin and Glen Ford was also on; Marvin actually had black HAIR, and LOT of it!!! Haha!! (Used to seeing him in ‘The Dirty Dozen” with the salt-n-pepper high and tight...)

Cagney, Bogart, Edward G. Robinson... nobody goes gangster like those guys did!!!
