Another Unnecessary Remake

The 1980s are the greatest decade for movies ever, IMO. The decade has so many classic, cult, and memorable films in every genre. And that's where they should live, not being remade for the "Zoomer" generation.

This one is actually better than the original

Not even close.

Doug Bradley >>> Jamie Clayton
Frank and Julia > Voight and Trevor
'87 Cenobites > '22 Cenobites
'87 Special Effects > '22 CGI garbage
Kirsty > Billie Eilish (if she lived in a van down by the river)

- '87 BDSM leather costumes, along with the blue lighting, look so much more intimidating. Especially the female cenobite, who is really menacing. The cenobites in '22 look like they walked out of a "Resident Evil" video game.

- There are no interesting characters in '22 at all. Frank and Julia, on the other hand, are interesting. You actually get some satisfaction when they meet their fate.

The bum eating the crickets is more disturbing than anything in the '22 remake.

Obvious trolling.

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

Nah, just an opinion you disagree with.

[–] LoveCatsHateDogs (2001) 2 years ago

You just pick the opposite of the general consensus and post that so that people will react. I have seen it on enough boards.

You are played out.

Maybe you should spend some introspection time in a quiet place with no Internet.

And yet...you reacted.

Does that give you a little troll boner?

WHY SHOULDN'T THEY BE REMADE?....HOW DOES A REMAKE IMPACT THE ORIGINAL?...IF THE REMAKE IS GOOD IT WILL DRAW MORE ATTENTION TO THE ORIGINAL...IF THE REMAKE IS BAD IT WILL DRAW MORE ATTENTION TO THE ORIGINAL...ALSO...REMAKES AND SEQUELS ARE A TRADITION AS OLD AS FILM ITSELF.

[–] SoCrates (876) 2 years ago

Just because it's a thing doesn't make it a good idea. If there's nothing wrong with the original, why remake it? Get your own ideas!

YOU'RE STILL COLORING WITH CRAYONS,AREN'T YOU?

I liked the homo and transe aspect of the film. I disliked the non-black cast but loved the Jewish woman lead despite not being a great actress.
