They Live is exactly the type of movie it makes sense to remake: a small film with an idea that wasn't explored completely and which a new writer/director can really play with. It still will probably suck, but you never know

They Live is fun. I think Prince of Darkness is the real hidden John Carptenter jem, but I doubt they've seen it.

Well, as we know from Robot Chicken he in fact wasn't dead yet, but his systems were rebooting

Star Wars I saw late in its run at the drive-in with my sister and parents, double featured with Shatner's "Kingdom of the Spiders" which scared me so much we left half way through. Empire I saw as part of a friends birthday party- someone said there was a traitor, so that made up our pre-movie playing. Jedi my sister and I saw opening day. We were sure it would sell out, so rode our bikes to the mall early to buy tickets, came home, then later went to the theater to find there was no line

Designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, and they found the plans to prove it Holds 3,000, and is now used for touring Broadway shows among other things. There's a smaller sister theater, the Riviera, up between Buffalo and Niagara Falls. To think they were going to tear it down in the 70's...

I probably said it somewhere up thread but I agree the Dawn of the Dead experiment should be repeated on other movies. Bodysnatchers, The Mummy... comparing how three different eras tackle the same subject with three different filming styles would be interesting.

I think maybe one per "era" would do, spread out over a year or three. I say era rather then actor because probably two Roger Moore films should be done, an early "serious" title then one one of the later more wacky movies for contrast Actually, maybe just do the Jaws miniseries...

While I'm here, having just re-listened to Sixth Sense, I'll put forward a suggestion you guys do the original The Haunting for next Halloween. Another great film that works on two levels.
(I love the story the director tells of going to the author before they started and asking, "We THINK we understand your book... it's all in her mind, right?" To which the author responded, "No, it's real, but that's a GREAT idea!")

I've found it interesting that while Marvel heroes have done better live action, it's DC that has had the most success in animation. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the characters themselves, or if it's just who has been in charge of making them. It's not the DC comics I love, but what Bruce Timm and friends have created (and I can't wait for Bruce Timm's Green Lantern TV series starting in the fall)

He's easy to read, which I agree makes him a good entry writer. I bailed on him when Anthonology (the short story collection) came out as he finally came off as a total jerk, but I was going that way anyways.

The interesting thing about Piers Anthony was he could write a very fun trilogy, but insisted on doing 5 or 7 books per series and book 4 is where things would go down hill.

(It would be hilarious for someone to try and adapt Bio of a Space Tyrant. Forget the sex, it's just so... well, even as a teen I called BS on the politics ^_^)

But is it as fun as Gay Bingo? My sister has been going to an AIDS charity game at a Buffalo church run by drag queens (the game, not the church to my knowledge)
