Makes sense. I like the movie a lot, but it's pretty dated.

Anyone else sick of those two?

I want to shit all over remakes, but, there are a few that turned out to be far better than their originals.

3:10 To Yuma
The Fly
The Departed
The Thing
Airplane
True Lies
Oceans Eleven
True Grit
The Bird Cage
Cape Fear
Dracula
13 Assassins
Casino Royale
Heat

The thing is, that some originals just weren't that great. They didn't really make that much of a massive impact. So, a remake made sense.

Where as Scarface,.. it is part of our culture. It has already made an impact, a significant one.

LOL remaking scarface, they will Never find a replacement for Paul Muni!!!!

 

[sdifox]

timewarp!

Nowadays..instead of Columbians raiding the Scarface compound military-style,It would be he gets pulled over,car impounded and the ATF takes his house for having 1 8-ball on him + 2k cash.

I never liked Scarface. I generally don't like DePalma's stuff, so that's probably why. Too much synthesizer--the score, and the plot. The sound, obviously, but everything else about his films feel so "synthesized," if that makes any sense.

He actually managed to make DeNiro completely forgettable as Al Capone. How the fuck does anyone do that?

True...but what were Airplane and True Lies a remake of?

also...which Dracula? The FFC version was pretty damn terrible...especially considering how far it was from the source material.

I think F W Murnau's Nosferatu (or even Werner Herzog's remake of that) are the best Draculas to date. Murnau's was actually the original "Dracula," on film, but as it was unlicensed, he was sued into oblivion by Stoker's estate.

Relax guys. It'll suck megadonk forcing people to completely forget the new one.

True Lies - La Totale; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Totale!

Yeah, I am talking about FFC's Dracula with Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves in '92.

I am also throwing in the latest Godzilla movie. I am glad they remade it - far better than original black & white.

D: blasphemy!

The only thing that I thought was salvageable about FFC's Dracula was Oldman. Oh and those brief scenes with Tom Waits. Tom Waits is always awesome.

I think that is around the time that producers finally accepted that Keanu and Winona should never be allowed to stumble their way through British-accented characters again.

just wait until they remake Shawshank and The Godfather

oh, and they're also all going to be PG-13.

Still won't matter. It will just reinforce that it's not about the tech and the cgi when it comes to good movies and people will just watch the originals.
