what the fuck you lookin at?
King Kong was pretty good, the rest on that list were pretty bad.
 
The Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory remake is impossible for me to watch. I just can't do it.
 
I'm going to have to vote for Transformers. The cartoon one was just fine, then Michael "SFX!BOOM" Bay tried to do a live action version.
 
I like the original Stepford Wives, but the remake was just the usual Hollywood shite coming out of a buffalo's asshole.

As far as 1998's Godzilla goes, it doesn't work as a Godzilla movie. At all. If it was renamed and marketed as a remake of "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms", then the film certainly would have fared better. But as Godzilla? No.

I'm soft on Burton's "Planet of the Apes" remake. Yeah, it was pretty fucking horrible. But Estella Warren is in it. And she's pretty good at giving me a hard on. :o
 
Hey- the god awful remake of "Friday the 13th" wasn't on the list.

What a pitiful piece of shit that was- and don't get me started on Halloween.
 
Get Carter. Soooooooooooooo wrong.

Too Wong Foo Julie Neumar or what ever the remake was called. Original was Priscilla Queen of the Desert.


Willy Wonka does deserve a special place though. My kids saw them both at roughly the same age. They didn't see one as an adult and another as a child and have nostalgic pangs. Usually for kids the modern CGI stuff wins out over the old "special effects." Not so with Willy Wonka. It really fucking sucks.

Although it isn't really a remake, a commemorative turd should be polished for the abortion that was, "The Wiz."
 
Any movie they remake these days blows. I heard their going to remake Red Dawn,I hope that isn't true

Sorry,it is true,and they have already started filming if I'm not mistaken.

Of the one's on the list,I'd have to say Rollerball.I never even saw the original to compare the two,but does that really even matter?It was just sooooo fucking horrible that I can't even believe that I made it through the whole thing.
