Not here for the rep,up or down (don't care) :)

Was aimed at your Av.
I'm too new to really care either ; )

Sorry my bad,poor Freddie is pissed off.

Freddie? O.o
Not big on horror I take it?

No problems with horror movies,but when it gets to friday the 13th part 21 or something then they get boring.Most of the classic movies have never been upstaged by remakes or seconds or third parts.

It's Jason in your Av.

Also, I agree. Remakes are just one horrible fail after another.

My bad again,must be a bad day today:)

Oh, there have been some cases where the sequel wasn't just a pot-boiler, but downright great. I think "Aliens" (the sequel to Alien) was one of those corner-cases.

Talking remakes here not sequels. I do agree there, Aliens was just too many awesomes 8D

Ah, sorry about the confusion. I tend to think that many re-makes don't do too well, however, I do think that "The Lost World" saw a few good re-makes over time.

The problem comes from the fact that many visionaries tend to out-lap the creative artists in the movie industry (or the technology used therein).

I've seen on many forums that people accused "Avatar" of being a remake of "Ferngully" (which admittedly I never did see); however, I do recall reading in one of the industry magazines that James Cameron had waited for years before filming this in order for the technology to be ripe. (A cursory look on Wikipedia seems to concur.)

So you -repped the thread and then reported it as spam too, by accident? I think you can't undo all that. That being said -rep could be undone by just clicking the + button and +repping the post, unfortunately there is no option for removing your rep contribution, so once clicked its either + or -.

What I dont like about many remakes is a new director destroying everything the original stood for/ build. (Rec. for example, an original zombie movie, was butchered by its remake - forgot the name)
But some remakes are better than the original
Yeah, Im not the most patient person so I tend to click a couple of times instead of one time, + I was pretty sleepy.
cant change the rep, because I deleted the thread, after having tried revisiting the thread a 404 error message came up.

A thread only gets removed when enough people have reported it and enough time has passed (or GOG staff removes it), so either it was manually removed by staff, in which case you don't need to worry, or it likely would be removed in time anyway and your report didn't matter much.
