Exactly. And I'm sick of this bullshit excuse being made. (I posted this in another thread but it fits here…)

So working-class voters were so sick of status quo politicians who ignored their concerns…that they voted for the trust fund baby billionaire who brags about not paying his fair share in taxes, sends jobs overseas and purchases Chinese steel? Someone who is totally unqualified for the job to boot?
On one hand, it seems a waste of time and money to remake an existing classic. On the other hand, I suppose you could compare it to a Broadway revival or a cover song.
When you watch Howard Ashman direct Jodi Benson during the recording of "Part of Your World," it's clear to see how instrumental he was to the success of these films. He wasn't just a lyricist. He was a true musical director.
To be fair, the Psycho remake was directed by Gus Van Sant as an experiment — a remake that was also a commentary on remakes. Even with the same script and same shots, it becomes a different film when you have different actors shot in color in the context of the '90s.
There's a difference between "spin" and flat-out making up lies.
While that's true for younger generations, a friend of mine described speaking to an older woman who was reluctantly voting Trump because of fake news items she had accepted as real. When my friend explained the actual facts, the surprised woman did a 180.
Certain people can't distinguish between commenting on the facts and making up your own facts.
That's when de Souza went too far. Street Fighter was already silly and then he made it even sillier. Between that and Judge Dredd, his career took a big hit in the mid-90s.
From what I gather: Frank Dux is a skilled martial artist who once served in the military and won some "underground" fights a la Kimbo Slice.
You can't talk about Die Hard or action-comedies in general without mentioning screenwriter Steven de Souza.
Darkwing's look and real name was inspired by The Shadow. "Drake Mallard" is clever and amusing enough, but as a play on "Kent Allard," it's even better.
I don't know about the rest of the series, but this episode truly felt like a worthy successor to The Twilight Zone — Rod Serling would be proud. Technology isn't just alienation and peril. It can be a beautiful thing with infinite possibilities for life and love. You could say that the primary goal of technology is…
What about the parody from Not Another Teen Movie?
In that version, Rose Red is like Goofus and Snow White is like Gallant.
Fun fact: Jaleel White voiced Sonic in the '90s animated series.*
(*your definition of "fun" might vary)
After all these years, nobody has really unpacked all of its mysteries. It's just a brilliant, beautiful film on top of being a classic example of Gothic horror.
I wish they'd just admit they fucked up with Zack Snyder and start over. How badly did they ruin Superman? They made him a supporting player in his second movie and then killed him off. Even the people who make these movies got bored by their creation.
Did it looked cracked by a razor-blade glove? On second thought, if Freddy did get his revenge, it would probably be on the 5th one.
Meanwhile, that white swimmer from Stanford gets 3 months for being caught in the act of rape by multiple witnesses before trying to flee the scene of the crime. Huh.
