Sequels, Prequels, Reboots, Adapatations

I would watch it on cable on a lazy Saturday afternoon, but I know I won't pay eleven bucks to see it in a theater. The Coens have always been kinda of hit or miss in my opinion. When it's right, it's great. When it's not, whoa.

Saw Toy Story 3 yesterday. Lovely film and creates the questions; is there many trilogies with 3 fantastic films?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 26 Aug 10 :: 00:50

I can't think of any off the top of my head. Well, maybe Lord Of The Rings.

Simon · 26 Aug 10 :: 01:44

Lord of the Rings and Toy Story are the only 2 that come to mind. I'm sure there is probably more.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 26 Aug 10 :: 01:50

Maybe the original Star Wars trilogy too.

Simon · 26 Aug 10 :: 15:15

I did think of the Original Star Wars trilogy, but I know that Return of the Jedi isn't always looked upon as being up there with the first two.

Warbee · 02 Sep 10 :: 02:45

Maybe the Godfather? The first two won awards as best movie.....*shrug* I actually havent seen all 3 though.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 02 Sep 10 :: 06:50

I saw Predators recently. Pretty good movie. I still prefer the original Predator though.

Editsound · 02 Sep 10 :: 16:58

The trilogy question is interesting because one will always be the weakest (has to be unless they are all equal), so the question is, is the weak one still worth watching outside of being part of the trilogy. For me, Toy story and the original star wars yes. Lord of the rings no (I really didn't like the second one, and I remembered while watching it I hadn't liked the second book either). Godfather definately not, first 2 great, 3rd one ugh. I will throw in here sergio Leone's "man with no name" trilogy where I think they are all good. We'll see if christopher Nolan can pull it off with his 3rd Batman movie (but history isn't on his side).

Why does it sound almost exactly like the early 70's series, The Rookies?

CappuGirl · 14 Oct 10 :: 09:04

I guess cop-shows are making another big coming. so many again. everyone is trying to tap into that. I personally like Rookie Blue. Other law shows are creating a bigger buzz now too. makes TV kinda redundant. every show tries to make its own spin on things but when there's such an over-flow like this, I tend to go "meh" and look for shows that have nothing to do with the subject.

oops. well since we're in this thread: I'm kinda liking the new Hawaii five-O. How about you guys?
i'e never really seen the original, at least that I remember. Maybe I've seen an ep or two somewhere some time because the thememusic kinda sounds familiar.

50 more reboots coming our way!

Remake of Drop Dead Fred.....AWESOME! I love it That was one of my favourite movies as a little kid. I will want to hurt someone if they destroy it though

Check out the official synopsis for Craig Gillespie's remake of the cult '80s horror/comedy 'Fright Night', starring Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell and David Tennant.

Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all going on: he's running with the popular crowd and dating the most coveted girl in his high school. In fact, he's so cool he's even dissing his best friend. But trouble arrives when Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there's something not quite right—but everyone, including Charlie's mom (Toni Collette), doesn't notice.
After observing some very strange activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on the neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.

Anton Yelchin? I'm in!
I haven't seen the original (I've seen fairly little amount of horror movies), but I do wanna see this now.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 15 Oct 10 :: 23:15

My parents watch Hawaii Five-O. They have all the seasons on dvd.

I too can't wait for that Anton Yelchin horror movie.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 Oct 10 :: 23:47

I'm a HUGE fan of the original, but I love the cast for this remake, so I'm definitely interested. Looking forward to seeing a trailer. I especially can't wait to see McEviLovin'! For those of you who are not hip to my jive, that means I'm looking forward to seeing Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin) playing Evil Ed, one of the funniest/strangest movie characters ever. I highly recommend checking out the original and even its sequel. They're not really very scary or gory. They're horror-comedies.

CappuGirl · 15 Oct 10 :: 23:53

ok.I'll have to check them sometime. there are so many popcultural references on some movies listed here. i should see them to crank up my movie trivia knowledge

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 16 Oct 10 :: 07:13

I love McLovin! I think you mean Black Comedies, Deb.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 12 Nov 10 :: 18:03

Thanks to the success of the new Hawaii 5-0, I guess we can now look forward to a glut of reboots of old TV shows. Hollywood is seriously ridiculous...

That said, Chris would make a damn fine Artemus Gordon.

Editsound · 12 Nov 10 :: 18:28

They had to make this after the success of the movie.....why do they keep doing this?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 12 Nov 10 :: 19:14

I know, right? It's the "pre=sold" factor. I honestly believe that there's pretty much no way to get anything made anymore that's not pre-sold. But to be fair, let's talk about Parenthood. I had zero hope for that show when it was announced. Because of the first dismal attempt to adapt the film for TV I couldn't imagine why they would want to try it again. But I gave it a chance based on cast. And it's a really great show. You can tell because its ratings suck.

I do kind of get why Wild Wild West would be appealing right now. Steampunk is really popular among geeks so it will have that built-in audience. I was never a big fan of the original. I couldn't stand Robert Conrad for the longest time because of those obnoxious battery commercials he used to do. But then I fell in love with Baa Baa Black Sheep (aka Black Sheep Squadron) and finally grew to like the guy. So I finally developed an appreciation for WWW. I'm curious to see how this goes. But for me, as usual, it'll be all about the casting.

Anyone remember The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr? Man, I'd love to watch that show again sometime.

CappuGirl · 12 Nov 10 :: 22:56

The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr

I love that show. Bruce Campbell is awesome. I triend rewatching it online few motnhs ago but only found sucky versions.. now there's some reruns we would wanna see, huh? instead of all the crap they rerun here...

Editsound · 13 Nov 10 :: 05:26

Brisco County is on Netflix, btw.

Just watched Evil Dead 2 again, right before halloween, He is so great in those movies.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 13 Nov 10 :: 06:23

Cool, I'll queue it up.

Editsound · 23 Nov 10 :: 02:04

Because we need constant reboots:
