I've seen the parody of the 1960s BATMAN show, and I was surprised how much effort was put in to making it look like an actual episode of the series, with the photography and costumes being very well done. (a couple of the cast members even did half-decent impressions of the original actors!) There's even an edited…

EVIL DEAD 1+2 were released by an independent distributor; ARMY OF DARKNESS was released by Universal Studios. (This is what happens when the budget goes up).

There is a rights division between EVIL DEAD and ARMY OF DARKNESS (it's shown up in merchandising and home video releases).
The whole reason Raimi, Tapert, and Campbell got involved in that EVIL DEAD remake a couple of years ago was to protect their claim on the "Ash" character (which is why he appears in the…

(of course, the primary focus should be on making a full-blooded Spaghetti Western)

Actually, it could fit right in with the established character; after all, spaghetti westerns were, if not an actual "debunking" of the Hollywood western, certainly an outsider's perspective. (remember, some of the villains in the original DJANGO were Klansman; plopping Django down in the era when BIRTH OF A NATION…

Well, the thing about Ralph (and the reason that, for all his flaws, he MATTERS) is that he's actually talking about his own hard-knock life and the worldview it's given him. He's not just riffing or parodying.

WIZARDS is kind of the "definitive" Bakshi film, in that it's a blend of his "underground comix" and "fantasy illustration" styles.That said…
Theoretically, I SHOULD like the "fantasy" ones more… but Bakshi's "underground" films are just livelier. (I do quite like WIZARDS, though)

FUN FACT: Sergio Leone says he realised that spaghetti westerns were on the way out when he walked by a theater showing a Sartana film and heard the fans in line making up their own jokey titles.

DJANGO KILL- IF YOU LIVE, SHOOT! (BUT IF YOU DON"T LIVE, HEY, NO PRESSURE, WE UNDERSTAND )

Heck, DJANGO UNCHAINED pointed them in that direction itself, what with it's borrowed theme song and Franco Nero cameo AS Django.

Earlier reports had said the film would be about an elderly Django in silent era Hollywood, "consulting" on a film based on his life. Sayles would be a pretty good fit for something like that; meta- but not TOO meta.

It's hard to dislike a movie where Bruce Willis' first line of dialogue is "I think I fucked a squirrel to death".

We are going to assume you are referring to the Stallone remake of GET CARTER, and not the classic original.
Because we don't want to have to kill you.

I love that they actually put out a "Mego-style" action figure of 8-Bit Jason: http://dailydead.com/wp-con…

ANOTHER remake of THE JEWEL OF SEVEN STARS?

Not to brag, but I could make a really bad movie for a FRACTION of that.
I mean, maybe not AS bad, overall… but I'd definitely get you value for money.

In a weird way, if they do this right, it really COULD give a new perspective… that STAR WARS was never anything but another damn movie, and that we really should all just get over it.

And what if some of those voodoo-type zombies died… and came back as Romero-type zombies… and THEN came back as ITALIAN-type zombies?

PREMISE: what if some of those voodoo-type zombies died… and came back as Romero-type zombies?

If it somehow puts money back in his pocket, I'm all for it.
When I call George Romero "the most ripped-off filmmaker in history", I'm actually NOT referring to his legion of imitators… I'm referring to his history of being screwed over by his business partners.
Although, sure, that other thing too.
