Like I said, I'm fine with the idea that they remake stuff (generally). And I'm certainly fine with folks who love the new stuff. But for me, when I have a very strong and specific memory of the original, the remake (often) is not for me.

For example, if (when?) someone decides to remake M*A*S*H, I am SURE that if it's done well, it'll be very popular. Done in modern times, with good writers, think the best of E.R. reallifegrit combined with some HBO-style combat realism and soem good actors/comedians to play the weary-but-funny Docs, and it'd be a big hit.

It just won't be for me.

Alan Alda is Hawkeye. I don't require a new one.

Transformers is an animated show (which had a great animated movie) fro my kiddie years. I don't need nor want a Bay-splosiongfest.

I'm glad new fans (and many old) are enjoying the revivals/nostalgia cash-in's. But it would take a spectacular remake to get me to want to enjoy them for many of these things.

P.S. This is Starbuck.

Btw, finally got The Artist on Netfix, will probably watch this weekend. Couldn't make it to theaters to see it, Blue Ray will have to do.

They are fictional characters. Every version brings something to the table. Look at Nicholson Joker by your theory we would have missed out oh Heath's joker which was G.O.A.T

I thought being a douche was the first rule of hampurclub?

Its kinda like if Bruce would completely re record and re release BTR. What is the point? Other than to make fun off of simpletons?

Not really. It's like when Bruce was doing full albums live. Same music but each show is going to be a little different. I saw spiderman with my son yesterday. He liked. I liked it. We had a nice afternoon together.

Savages looks good.

I was pleasantly surprised. This take on Spidey was actually better than expected and superior to Toby's trilogy which seemed forced and wooden. This new dude was a better interpretation of Peter Parker.
And this Gwen Stacey's hotter than Toby's Mary Jane by far

Paulie- Watched The Artist last nite.

Have to say, very worthy of winning an Oscar (althought with it was up against some dregs).

A very original, unique film. I give it an A for effort, it's novelty and cinemetography. That's not to say I loved the story but it fit the motif perfectly. I had a hard time feeling compasion for George at times (although he was very good-also deserved the Oscar) and felt it dragged a bit at parts. Great cast, Peppy was very cute (she looks like another actress but I can't pin it down), and the sets had the feel of an old Hollywoodland movie, an outstanding tribute to black and white/silent movies of old. The scene where George hears sound for the first time was outstanding.

It's not a film I'd watch again, but I'm happy I saw it once. Definitely not for most Hampurites.

I either completely ignored all of them, or watched them in horror (Indy #4).

None could live up to the childhood memories of them.

I don't fault them being remade, nostalgia sells. Just not to me. I like the originals.

No problem with you feeling they don't live up to your childhood memories, by faulting the BSG reboot is heresy on the highest order when coming from a geek of your stature.

Totally agree. It will be interesting when/if they will set forth the major plotline for her character. It's major Spiderman canon, but it wouldn't be the first time Hollywood has ignored stuff like that. I figure they can squeeze in a second movie before having to address it. Next movie will have the Green Goblin as the villain, bank on it. Figure on the introduction of the Kingpin and a run-in with a frenemy like the Punisher, too.
