All Remakes All The Time

[bryant]

Stop hurting America!

Michael Bay’s production company is working on remakes of:

• Nightmare on Elm Street
• Friday the 13th
• Near Dark
• The Birds

Near Dark was just fine the way it was. Grrr. Who the hell is Samuel Bayer? I suppose I’m upset about Hitchcock remakes too.

I’m not really upset about Friday the 13th, though.Variationen von poker.

Yeah, The Birds didn't do much for me either. Probably my least favorite Hitchcock I've seen (mind you, I've only seen about half his movies). It didn't seem to have much of a plot... or at least one that flowed well.

I thought it really captured a sense of tension, and a sense of isolation. The birds and the soundtrack were creepy, and I like the ambiguous ending. I just think it was one of his more heavy-handed movies.

Heh, when I was a kid and saw that movie for the first time I was infuriated by the ambiguous ending. I totally felt cheated. Looking at it later as an adult I think I like it more.

Haha, when I was a kid, I felt the same way. "They're not going to go back and BEAT UP the BIRDS?" My child-self would have wanted to go all Ripley in Aliens on them.
