[penciLneck]

hideous remake dross.

[bitch one]

i hate most tim burton films

[gypsy_cream]

old fuddy duddies

[Yer_Maw]

@bitch, even batman?

[gypsy_cream]

yeh it wont be as good as the first one but i still wanna see it cos it looks FUN.. dont think i'll pay to go see it at the cinema though

[thembuzz]

i'm well looking forward to it, and i reckon it's going to kick the arse off the first one. i never really gave much of a shit about that. tim burton, on the other hand... i would happily spend whole days and nights sitting in the bushes outside his house and rifling through his rubbish. same with johnny depp, for that matter. does this mean i'm gay?

[penciLneck]

yes.

[Lady E]

just from one still i have seen this looks better than the original, which i loved.

[penciLneck]

god its a remake. by its very nature it is going to be pants. I've never seen a good remake.

you can't compete with gene wilder.

[Yer_Maw]

im not holding my breath after planet of the apes. Never really got remakes, you can still watch the original and they are never as good.

How? How can one still make it better than the original? The originals vibe is Spot on and thats not because i have rose tinted goggles on. Its because, Grandpa Jo gets out of bed after 30 years of being bed ridden and starts dancing. Now thats inspirational. Also, what about Mike TV, he gets turned to a fractal and re-assembled. Wot about Agustus Gloop up the pipe.

I will wait and see. But you cant fuck With Gene Wilder.

[thembuzz]

can you really call one a remake of the other? nads. they're both 'remakes' of the book

[penciLneck]

thats pish thembuzz, you know its a remake of the movie, look out for the ripoffs.

I think they are really evil, its like hey kids don't watch silly old black and white movies they are old fashioned. Here watch this special effect laden piece of crap with your favourite dumbass actor. And we have a new generation that references the remake instead.

real slack way of making money too.

I watched 'fucking amal' last night, can you imagine a hollywood remake of that? Shit, its probably been done.

That statement is filled with too many errors to mention. They are not remakes of a book.

[bitch one]

well, it's simply a case of hollywood money people like brands that are already familiar, this is why there are almost no original blockbusters these days. it's kind of sad.

re tim burton: edward fucking scissorhands makes me want to kill, and i'm a non-violent type.

[darrell]

it cant be better than the original
the original has quotes like...

We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams

hehe. well, i hope i am pleasantly surprised, but you gotta admit his remake track record ain't great, planet of the apes was fucking dreadful.

i didn't, actually, but thanks for letting me know

any case, i'm still looking forward to burton's version. i can't think of anyone better placed to take on charlie and the chocolate factory - mel stuart just didn't capture the slightly sinister undercurrent in the book, and gene wilder was too damn zany for wonka, whom i took to be a rather imposing figure, perhaps even a little frightening. wilder just made him a bit stern sometimes. i have faith in the burton/depp alliance. it's never let me down before

yeah, there's something inherently crap about the remake thing, i'll give you that. i wouldn't go calling them evil, though. anyone who'll see a remake as the definitive version would probably have gone their whole life without seeing the original anyway - at least a few might be prompted to check it out

anyway, it's the way of the world. whether you like it or not, culture changes, tastes change and something that spoke volumes to one generation might mean shit-all to the next. boo-hoo

With rumors of a remake on the horizon, we feel it is important to act now before another generation of movie-goers can be lulled into believing that Charlie's grandfather is anything other than a ratbag industrial spy bastard.

lol

I think wilder was pretty scary in the original, very true to the wonka of the book.

I still reckon you will be let down, but we'll see. I'm confident that they will murder it.

[Hagbard]

The remake of 'The man who knew too much' was better... but then.. they were both directed by Hitchcock...

Oh and thre remake of 'The 39 steps' too....

Ok.. its been a while since there was a good remake..

[penciLneck]

scarface was a good one. and flash gordon. but yes quite a while ago now.

[JonnySpeed]

i love it and i want it. think of it as a remix then decide whether its good or just a crap bootleg

[Dask]

Why the hell did they remake it?

They should of had the dignity to leave it alone.

[penciLneck]

eurgh. the marketing alone makes me wanna chunder. look at all those hideous ameritweenies.

[Loz]

they've updated, it too

look how one of them would rather play on his Playstation.

[thembuzz]

you're all wrong. so, so wrong

[Mui]

well I'm going to see it anyway....
depp's wonka looks to be good, at least he's not just trying to imitate wilder..

Yeah, that film really was a pile of shit - especially depressing since the original was so brilliant.
