Although I don't exactly agree with the message this video gives, it's a great video nonetheless and I give kudos for the effort in conveying the message so well.
For instance, Eli Roth is about to "fix" The Bad Seed, the 1956 classic about a child serial killer. He says "The original was a great psychological thriller, and we are going to bastardize and exploit it, ramping up the body counts and killings. This is going to be scary, bloody fun, and we're going to create the next horror icon, a la Freddy, Jason and Chucky. She's this cunning, adorable kid who loves to kill but also loves 'N Sync." Wonderful. Just great.
Tou do realize that Fantasia 2000 was made by disney as a sequel to the original and was not infact a remake? And if you look at history most art is a remake of the past.
Of course remakes don't have to be bad -- especially with the same guy at the helm! Cecil B. DeMille remade a lot of his originally silent, b/w films in sound & color. But there's a difference between remakes and an auteur director trying to do an "improved version". It's a subtle thing, especially when it comes to horror films, which need more subtlety, not less. Too tempting to add fangs, blood, etc., where none existed in the original!
That was really good! And it goes along with my theory about films today. At least 85% of the movies coming out these days are members of the following categories: Remakes Based-off-Novel Based-off-Comic Book Sequel Based-off-TV Show True Story/Biopic Based-off-Broadway Hollywood hasn't had an original thought pass through it's skull in sometime. I think the last really original movie I personally have seen in Se7en...
That was awsome, i didn't get it until i saw the "Some things dont need fixed" and then i got it after i saw that you showed "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" again.
Fantastic! i love the song you used. How did you make this? I want to make videos too, but i don't know how to get movie clips. What program did you use? and how did you get those clips?
Believe it or not, I only used the rubbish Windows Movie Maker. Because I don't have any video capture software, I had to get the clips by ripping my DVDs and cnoverting them to AVI format, but I don't recommend this becasue it's technically not legal.
you can add True Grit, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Wolf Man, Nightmare on Elm st, Last house on left, Hills have eyes & many others to that list now

This was really brilliant. I thought it was an odd song to use, until the second half began. The final shot is even rather sad.

It is okay to say "need fixed" in Ireland too, and in some places in America. I've heard it all over the Midwest. Thank you for this.
