Ghostbusters (non QPR obviously) 19:37 - Mar 3 with 12594 viewsHayesender



I see Hollywood have decided to ruin yet another classic from my childhood by pc-ing it up.

This looks frigging awful

I re watched Point Break, it's not as good as remember it.
Beverly Hills Cop needs another viewing.


BHC stands up really well even now. The buddy cop genre (admittedly BHC isn't quite that) has never really been topped since the '80s. Lethal Weapon and Tango and Cash are still unf*ckwittable.

A bunch of people at work (mainly early 20's to early/mid 30's) went on a Secret Cinema trip a few days ago. All they knew was they had to dress up in army uniforms, no idea what the film was.

They came in the next morning raving about it......"Dr Strangelove" was the film shown. The reaction was more than when they saw the new Star Wars.


Melissa McCarthy is getting done to death now. Funny at first but becoming a female James Cordon.

Never really understood the point in dressing up to sit and watch a film in a dark cinema.
What's that all about?

£65? Wow, I thought I got stung at the Imax for Episode IV Re-awakens...

Everyone at work who went the other day loved it.

Like most things nowadays, it's priced for how much they can get out of your pocket, not what it's worth. Like football, as long as they're getting full houses then nothing will change.

I personally wouldn't pay £65, £25-30 max.

Dreadful idea dreadfully executed. The movie industry is a fcking shower at the moment. Either remakes or superhero franchise or remakes of superhero franchises. Lots of movie producers, directors and talent getting involved in TV now - places like HBO and Netflix is where your quality content is.

Maybe we could re-do Schindler's List with Caitlyn Jenner in a prominent role?

the day it was reported they were remaking Memento 15 years after the original was when I realised the movie industry had lost its mind

Bloody Hell, you can't remake Memento, it's unremakeable.

They'll be remaking Pulp Fiction next...

Highlander should not be remade, rebooted or reimagined. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.
Classic 80's film.
I think Blade Runner has a sequel being lined up. .
and a new Alien film directed by Neill Blomkamp. Hopefully they'll get those films back on track. I have my doubts.

Jeez, from the OP on, why are you all getting upset over mostly kids' films?

A lot of the mentioned are successfully well-made, granted, but they are aimed squarely at an adolescent mentality.

What's next: 'OMG! They've ruined the "Beano"!'?

(That's a strange word, isn't it: 'Beano'.
From Wiktionary: 'A beanfeast; Any noisy celebration, a party. Or, (figuratively) any home-made gas or indigestion remedy'. And for Beanfeast: '(chiefly Britain) A dinner party given to the employees of a firm. Or any similar social occasion.' I detect a whiff of noblesse oblige toward the Great Unwashed there.)

They'd better not do a remake of They Live,the greatest movie of all time.

With Sue Perkins in the lead role.


I was intrigued by the mention of "They Live", so I watched it this arvo on YouTube (you can get the whole film).

It was bloody awful! Badly written, acted and directed; I couldn't wait for it to finish. The only thing that had me guessing was that woman who worked at the TV station, Holly, I was sure she was a bloke in drag! I was waiting for the plot twist when she rips off her wig (or worse, her pants) and yells "Surprise!" But it didn't happen.

It wasn't all bad. I'd like to read the source short story "Eight o'Clock in the Morning" by Ray Nelson as I really like the premise that we are constantly bombarded with subliminal messages to "Sleep", "Conform", "Consume", etc. That's very Gurdjieff. Also I love a good paranoid sci-fi 'they-live-amongst-us' thriller. "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (both 1956 & 1978) are meat and potatoes to me.

Another nice bit lifted from IMDb:

"Writer-director John Carpenter has said of this movie that it was a critique of Reaganomics, a "vehicle to take on Reaganism"."

Good stuff.

Well I think entertainment and thought provocation aren't necessarily predicated by Eisenstein or Welles.I enjoy conceptual art and it's a prime example of good science fiction.The devil is in the detail.

On that we can agree.

I think John Carpenter didn't do the story justice. Mind control and aliens-hidden-in-plain-sight are two of my favourite sci-fi themes.

And no, I do NOT suffer from paranoia (much).
