Did I say Evil Dead 4? I meant to say, shut up we're doing the goddam remake!

Well, in a predictable move, Raimi backs off from comments he made about a possible Evil Dead 4. He now says that he can't promise he'll make a 4th, but he is interested in doing it, and that if there is a 4th it will certainly be directed by him. So it seems the whole promising a 4th film slipped out in his attempts to quell the growing disappointment over the planned production of a remake. Again though, in this new interview he says, "I don't feel pictures, even if they are remakes, [are] ever going to take away from the original." I beg to differ.

Remakes encourage film ignorance. Nothing more than this type of ignorance can make a movie geek want to crush the soul of every living thing on the planet. Mr Raimi, don't tell me that kind of stuff unless you've sat in your high school physics class and had to listen to the dumbfucks, who are drowning you with their very presence, as their voices burn your brain cells during their discussion of how great that new Jessica Biel movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre is, without any knowledge that it is a remake of the scariest film ever made. Not only do conversations like these destroy the lifeforce of all non-moron listeners, but it seems to me that they are a slap in the face to Tobe Hooper and his timeless classic. Hell, its not just a slap in the face, its a shit on the lap, or perhaps more appropriately, a jizz in the eye.

(Too lewd? Sorry if I've lowered the class of our blog, fellas.)

The insanity of these remakes knows no bounds. While Evil Dead is just in the pre-production stage, a greater evil is going to be out pretty soon. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory just does not need to be re-made. At a time I was behind this one but now I'm just thinking that this is a major mistake. And if its worth anything, I stand by your lewdness, these executives need a good squirt in the eye.

I say: if you're gonna remake something it better be a helluva lot better than the original. Or different enough to add something to the concept. Otherwise don't bother.
They are gonna remake both superman and the last unicorn which I can tell you now will fail. FAIL.

I'm glad someone is keeping us posted on the last unicorn franchise.

Good news for Jody, the Superman movie is not going to be a remake of the origin story. Bryan Singer is doing something different, it'll be more of a sequel, he says he may even incorporate footage from the first Superman. See, the first Superman is one of his favorite films, thus, unlike whoever will direct Evil Dead, he respects it enough not to jizz in its eye.

The Superman plot, as I understand it, will be his return, after a self-imposed 6 year exile at the fortress of solitude, to save the previously ungrateful citizens of metropolis. Thats right, I win the geek award on this blog.

that superman "fortress of solitude" business sounds kind of..ummm. dorky- so I am still not for a re-visiting-make or whatever.
Now the last unicorn- for your information Mike- is practically on my top ten- and you ought to be happy to be getting updates on it.
