    Default Hollywood needs to just go away

    No, not because all they produce anymore is leftist propaganda ... I can live with that.

    I'm just sick and tired of all the effing remakes.

    Every year there are hundreds (if not thousands) of new novels written.
    Every year there are hundreds (if not thousands) of screenplays written.
    Plus, there is still a long backlog of good books and screenplays on the shelf that haven't been touched yet.

    But here we go again ... another remake coming (ironically this one sounds like it could be good, but still).

    And Johnny Depp is no William Powell (but it could be worse ... could be Leonardo DiCaprio).

    Agreed 100%. Them remaking Total Recall was the final straw for me...

    It is total bullshit... everything is a remake these days (or a re imagining, but you can't fool me!)... it's either endure a remake, sequel, prequel, or rehash... or go see a fucking comic book based movie that unless you read every damn comic you will have no clue whatsoever what's going on. Seriously, I just stopped scratching my head last night after seeing Captain America on Sunday.
    And seriously, WTF is with them remaking Red Dawn!? Classic Sheen/Swayze 80's awesomeness, now it's going to be ruined!

    Actually the remake of Red Dawn is going to be ruined because it was written and shot with the Chinese invading and then so as to not offend our overlords and masters; China, they changed it in post production to the North Koreans.

    They did a remake of Total Recall? I'm guessing that I never heard that before because if it holds true that all remakes are not as good as the original, this one must have been horrid!!! Don't get me wrong, I like watching Total Recall, but I would not say that it is worthy of a remake.

    but, where would we be without their razor sharp political commentary?

    The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

    I'm down with that.

    Just got through with Your Highness. No it wasn't my choice. Absolute waste of time. This is becoming the norm for movies. No imagination. No intrique. No intelligence. Just the same lame formula.
