Idea Shortage
Anyone as sick as I am of American remakes of old of foreign horror films? Can we not think of a decent plot for ourselves -.-. If I see another Japanese horror cinema rip off I'll scream. Don't get me wrong, some of the remakes are good...but have we no pride...?

the beverly hillbillies, starsky and hutch, the flinstones, the dukes of hazard, ... oh shit i could go on for hours .....
these films are made or are being made and you're upset about american film versions of japanese horror movies .. of course there is no pride in the US popular film industry .. just big $$$ in the eyes. by the way .. its not like its a new tradition .. foreign films have been a source of inspiration for as long as i can remember ... So now the horror films are being mined .. oh well, how else are the lowest common denominator sad sacks going to get exposure to the foreign films anyway when they wont watch anything with subtitles - let alone letterboxed or black and white.

When I mean remakes I mean everything, old and or foreign movies and shows included. It all pisses me off. And last I heard Tom Cruise's production company or whoever the hell works over or under him bought the rights to the Eye. As for Dark Water...-.-...please say it ain't so T-T.

in many cases i dont feel too bad about it ..
I usually know when its a horror ... we usually ferret out horrors from all over the world because we dont have much to pick from compared to the other genres. What i like about remakes as far as drama, etc goes is that once i find out its a remake i usually hunt down the origional .. a film i otherwise may have not known existed.

When they remake Ichi the Killer I'm gonna take a cue from Boiling Point and driving a tanker into the production company. You can take away my Ring, you can ruin my Dark Water, but you can never take my Takashi Miike!...at least I hope they can't...

Miike would most probably not transfer well at all ... I was watching Gozu just the other day, great movie, Visitor Q is still my favourite though!
