For those interested in watching Turtles Forever
HOLY SHIT!
They may be remaking Starship Troopers! I hope it will be closer (much fucking closer!) to the original book.

They better have Dina Meyer’s (Dizzy) fine ass in it.
NO WOMEN! They fly the ships but they don’t cut it for MI!
Get yer tits and ass somewhere else and keep my Starship Troopers pure!

I imagine it will be a better movie.
After the abortion that was I AM LEGEND, I don’t think Hollywood wants to hold to any book that isn’t a comic.

Well, that site seems to be having problems.
I guess it’s like that show from the late 80s Friday the 13th: The Series that had nothing at all to do with Jason, but was about some antique shop with possessed items.
I guess they just try to cash in on the name.

At least that had a horror element to it, if they did a television series and Jason is an inept killer who looks at the camera and shrugs when he misses a kill or kills despite himself then it would suck. In fact on that subject Halloween 3 is actually a pretty good film despite no Myers in it, the directors wanting to take a diefferent direction.
If they wanted to modernize the Munsters they still could have been funny, a zombie boy/girl teenager who is pining for the popular boy/girl and hilarity ensues, limbs falling off, bad odor, sight of brains sets them off etc.

I know but at least the Teen Wolf was going after the gina’s of the little twilight tweens so they have an excuse the freaking Munsters was an instution in reruns when I was little, and the Sunday morning/afternoon remake in the late 80’s early 90’s
The Munsters would fail as a tv show today. No one would tune in to see Monsters that aren’t scary AT ALL but who can’t seem to grasp why everyone else is “ugly” and they are the only “sane” people around. That would be funny for all of 3 seconds before people changed the channel.
Teen Wolf isn’t that bad an attempt either although it fails in some major ways…like the Twilight motivated approach. Maybe we’re just out of the target age group, but I am amazed at the overuse of that crap.
Remember, Goonies was the shit in the 80’s. Now, I doubt it would sell out theaters.

Off topic, tell me that’s not your bike in the profile pic, X?
It’s not. Mine looked way worse. Mine is totaled completely. No pictures of it because I wasn’t conscious of what was going on.

No memory.

The one thing the iPhone has going for it is they sure do make a lot of accessories for it.[/quote]
There are some camera accessories I wish were available for my Android.

Raimi and Ash are still on as producers, not all hope is lost yet. I think “grounded in reality” means you can watch it 10 years from now and not feel the movie is dated. Hopefully that means not relying on trendy equipment and fad camera techniques, or a lot of product placement. Instead they can focus on the horror, the blood, the violence, and gratuitous boobies.

Damn! I bug out for a couple weeks, and come back to find you’ve joined some underground motorbike demolition derby.
Sorry about the bike. Did you come out of the accident ok?

They seem to be taking the same Twilight-inspired approach with most of the supernatural-based series of late (Vampire Diaries excepted- it was written before Twi).That’s the problem - they are trying to twist everything into something a Twi-hard would watch…
Ramping up the horror in The Munsters is like making Police Squad/ Naked Gun a gritty crime drama. What they propose is so far removed from the original concept, they may as well just repackage it as an original series. But they won’t because they expect people old enough to remember the series to tune in as well…which makes no sense if they need to change it that much to appeal to a new generation.

Well, the Teen Wolf movie (ignore the sequel) played off the idea that werewolves were scary (at that time they were). The series was the result of a studio looking through their back-catalogue of properties to ride Twilight’s wave of success. The ironic part is they are trying to make The Munsters darker to appeal to a demographic (predominantly female teens) that don’t really appreciate horror, but get off on the creature being the romantic bad boy…
