Original ideas are almost unheard of these days. Out of curiosity, Brad, how long do you think it'll be until we're treated to remake/restart of the Daredevil franchise (if you could call the Ben Affleck flick & the cringe-inducing "Electra" a franchise)?

Honestly, what is happening in Hollywood that they can't even *try* to do something new? Every other movie is either a remake or a novel adaptation! @rattler76:

In my younger days when I still loved the WWF I must have watched this piece of schlock 10 times. It left us with 2 wonderful marks: #1 The South Park fight between Timmy and Jimmy is a direct match from this movie and #2 "I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum." Piper was the sh@t in it, hope they give him a cameo or something. @rattler76: I agree They Live was an awesome piece of crap.

How do we stop the onslaught of remakes no one wants? By the way, you should really watch They Live. It is the funniest piece of pulp you'll ever see. Everything about it is so bad and in such a cheesy way it'll make you grin non stop for at least a day. Do we live in remake hell?
no no and no.
