Yea i just watched the original, which is one of my favorite movies to watch on halloween. Its funny but spooky as hell at the same time, and the whole 80s-ness of the whole thing rocks.

They keep the best scene, the girl getting raised to the ceiling and just butchered, but i'll wait and see.

Never went to the Halloween remake... but Nightmare is definitely my favorite of all those kind of movies.

Michael Bay strikes again.

yaknow, i have one major beef with "reimagining" old franchises and that's this: none of the reimagined movies ever live up to the anthology potential that the originals did.

texas chainsaw massacre? one film and then a prequel cus somehow they missed the whole cannibal storyline and couldnt make a sequel since that one chick cut leatherface's arm off. oops.

halloween? rob zombie did an excellent job remaking the series but it looks like part two was the end of it.

friday the 13th?produced by michael bay directed by the guy who directed the remake of the texas chainsaw massacre......need I say more?

and now ole mikey's found a new franchise to sodomise beyond recognition. how nice.

just from the preview alone, I already know this is gonna suck. it looks half verbatum the original nightmare and half like the driector and producer just never watched the series at all.

first of all, freddy pleading innocent to an angry mob? he never did that. he got off on a techincality due to there not being a proper search warrant and was pretty smug about it.
and what's with the whole "superman" esque rip off the jacket to reveal the red and green sweater crap?
not to mention the makeup effects or freddy this time around. he looks horrible from what little we see. I'll give the guy a b minus for trying to emulate his best robert englund in the voice department but freak dude, there are literally 8 freaking movies the special effects guys could have gone over for reference material on how to make a guy look like he was burned alive.

and i know, i know, why you all butthurt about michael bay redoing nightmare,lantern? because frankly, michael bay is a complete and total hackjob like uwe boll who can't seem to make an original film to save his life so instead he has to take succesful iconic characters who have made tons of money and have a massive following, gang rape them and turn them into mutulated carcasses for a "newer generation" to enjoy.

he alienates the original audience while at the same time confuses the new audience with jokes or references only the old audience would get which he has alienated.

seriously, i have never in my life wanted to kick someones ass as much as i want to kick michael bay's. seriously.

oh and to add a little insult to injury, just checked the director's credits....yeah, he's done a shit ton of music videos including a few manson ones but this will be his first full length motion picture.

OMG. Owly sounded...coherent. And he used words like "sodomize" accurately and appropriately. Is this an "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" setup?

Every Stoner has his day

I sorta agree most of the 1970-1980s movie franchise reboots and 1970-1980s tv-show based movies are total trash. The only one I enjoyed was Rob Zombie's Halloween. Even the non-horror. Starsky and Hutch, omg, I want those two hours back. Dukes of Hazzard, more trash. I'm tired of seeing the same old shit. If I wanted to see what I've seen before I'll watch the freaking original.

The only reboot that comes to mind that hasn't been a disappointment is Batman.

Speaking of Rob Zombie, some random trivia: The house used for the Chicken Ranch from "The Best Little Whore House in Texas" (Dolly Parton, Burt Reynolds, lots of boobs, Gomer Pile, cheesy singing for those that don't know) was the same house they used for the Firefly house in "House of 1000 Corpses".

[Nagash]

Rob Zombie is teh awesome!


On another note: is this Gem the Gem_Rathonl of old, who drafted my wonderful previous icon?

[Gem]

Yes ;o)

[Nagash]

Yayz!

Good to see you.

How's life?

[Raknarak]

Holy Carpal Tunnel, Batman! Little Gem lives! How the heck are ya?

Oh, yeah, on subject. Heh. I will see this because it's a Nightmare movie, but I don't expect to care for it. So, I'll borrow a friend's dvd to watch it. I'm in agreement, with the exception of Batman and Halloween 1(Haven't seen 2), these "reboots" are jußþ getting stupid. It's like they're pilfering my childhood and trying to shove a third-rate knock-off down my throat. They know we'll watch it, in hopes that it will be the next Batman-type flick. So, when they get us to fork over our hard earned cash, and sit in the theater, that's when they slap a big ol' fat mushroom on our foreheads and laugh at our complete inability to actually do anything about it.

I agree with Gem. Where's the original stuff? Did the writer's go on a permanent strike and I missed it?
