A lot of my buddies worked on this one - I still haven't seen a trailer.

I didn't see the original until my early 20s, and while I have retro-nerd affection for all the Harryhausen it got on my face, it's kind of a baffling movie and I had trouble getting past the flagrant mythological inaccuracies. Still, it has a charm and a humor and a cleverness that makes it a must-see classic for the geek cred.

The new movie I'm sure will have none of these things. I'm guessing it will be technically flawless without any personality, take itself way too seriously, and have a lot of sweeping camera moves around CG vistas, characters, and creatures in a desperate attempt to convince us we care.

I'll see it, but not on April 2, and not in 3D. Maybe I'll do a matinee $6 screening at AMC.

You want to know just how far that trend has come?  Check this out.

That's right - a remake of a movie that came out three years ago.   Jeebus.

Oh god. I had a lovely rant a while back about Death at a Funeral, I have no clue what happened to it, but it was a thing of beauty.

I still just can't believe it, it just seems to be at such a level of ridiculousness that it can't be possible, but then well there it is.

It's not even so much the fact they are simply remaking (Although that still pisses me off) it's that they are turning it into this horrid "Lets use every single black stereotype possible to make it funny for an American audience" thing. Ugh.

I'm not sure I'll ever forgive Zoe Saldana.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

That is all.
