Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
I'm so tired of this kind of story.
X, being some film that is perfectly fine the way it is, thanks, is behing remade by Y for some unfathomable reason. Outrage to follow.
Well, this time X is Walter Hill's 1979 THE WARRIORS, a film I like quite a bit, a somewhat surreal trip through the nighttime New York as one gang, falsely accused of a murder, has to travel through hostile gang territory to get home. It's a groovy movie, and if you've never seen it, then you don't know the pleasure of yelling, "WAAAAAAAARIORS! COME OUT AND PLAAAAAAAAAAAY!!"
In this case, Y is MTV Films, and they're currently looking to hire a writer to come in and write their update.
Please... Hollywood... stop. Just stop with the fucking remakes. It's the worst, most soulless trend you are currently enslaved by, and it's turning audiences cynical even faster than normal. i could understand if the original was a great idea but a poor execution, but that's not the case nine times out of ten. What are you counting on? Our love of the original? That's why we won't go see your crappy remake. Anyway... TalkBackers... what do you think? I'm going to go take some aspirin to get rid of the rage headache.
"Moriarty" out.
