As needless as remakes are, literally nothing is being ruined by them.

Ghosts of Mars was supposed to be Escape from Mars. The studio rejected it since Escape from L.A. was a flop so Carpenter slightly rewrote the screenplay into Ghosts of Mars.

You forgot to say you've heard of him

>>71299901
The Real Ghostbusters has different actors but continues the original story excellently (wel until ABC execs started monkeying with it in it's 3rd season) So while regrettable that he died, we could have still gotten a worthy new installment instead of the lazy hackneyed shit we're getting and that will directly prevent and good new movies being made anytime soon and as someone who enjoys the originals that pisses me off. Does that make sense now?

Eh, The Rock has plenty of charisma but a Big Trouble in Little China remake will never ever be good because whoever writes it will play it safe to avoid pissing off overly sensitive faggots. The original movie was full of hilarious Chinese stereotypes, the remake will probably be full of dull politically correct humor.

U wot m8. It was solid. More solid than Escape From LA.

Kurt Russell had done mainly comedy before doing Snake so I think they should cast another comedian. Paul Rudd or Bill Hader. Hader can do voices and Rudd is already Ant Man so he'd be my top pic.
>>
>>71297389
No one is good enough. Kurt is pure 80's. The hair, the poise, and the masculinity. They literally don't make males like him anymore.

Some black woman or something because I'm not going to see it. Whole point of these stupid remakes is to make money and people want to see females and PoCs replace white guys so just go with it. Literally won't change my perspective because I'm not acknowledging its existence, like those other cash-grabs they're doing.

Because I can literally turn my head to the right to see my copies of the Original Trilogy and Prequel trilogy.
And any remake or sequel won't change that.
And
>while selling us on the new movies with nostalgia
LITERALLY means that they're not trying "their damnedest to try and make us forget the originals"

A Hollywood executive holds a gun to your head and says one of John Carpenter's movies has to be remade and you're going to decide which one. Which one would you choose?
>>
>>71299792
>we aren't getting the ghostbusters sequel we've waited 25 years for because instead they greenlit a shitty reboot
Everyone turned down doing a sequel. It was never going to happen and then Ramis died so they decided to do a reboot instead.

I can turn my head and find my old copies I've played a thousand times and got the shit beat out of them. The quality is eroding because that's what happens to fucking VHS and once it's gone, there'll be no way for me to legally watch the non-"enhanced" cut with Han recycling dialogue a scene later and the wacky cantina singer.
I'll be able to buy the reboot on blu-ray though, for sure. That is, until they reboot Star Wars again.
