I saw it last night. I thought it was much better than what I anticipated. It does however go in the Hollywood trap and makes it much more friendlier than it needed to be. The original is much, MUCH darker and that is what I love about it, and it don't compromises and it hits you like a fist. But I also liked some additions they made like Ant trying to communicate with Agnes. I also did like the addition at the end, but I have a bit of a issue with it being to understandable, let people make their own mind about what is going on, and that's something that is very hollywood about this movie.

I do think this version was not at all necessary, but money speak as always.

This is the same people that don't get that the fires we've seen in many part of the world is also part of climate change. Why deny something that science has been telling us for decades at this point.

But we shouldn't be supprised when politicians in the US are banning books that don't align witb their world views. It's pathetic.

So they basically had a must smaller budget for season two and the following seasons it sounds like.

Haven't seen the whole show but thry did that for season 2?

They should have just canned this series after Cavill left... Who likes watching series where the MAIN cast is replaced??

Many good points here! I personally think The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th (2009) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) are pretty good remakes myself. I cannot say I've gone this deep into it like you have in your thought prosses, but I think they add some elements that makes it work. The story in these movies are maybe not worked on so much but they did a decent job at making these movies "modern" if you will.

I now see that I'm contradicting myself by what I wrote in my OP but my view is maybe a bit more nuanced than what I wrote there.

Omg I love these people's humor.

Unfortunately I've seen both of the mentioned movies.

I've watched Baskin and I dunno, it's fucked up for sure.. But I feel like I've watched way much worse (as in fucked up) movies.

Shutter

Oh shit. Is there another version of this? I've watched the remake apparently and didn't even know there was another, better version.. I actually liked the remake but I'm adding the original to my watchlist!

Also I kinda agree with mostly everything you're saying.

Wow there is some great gems here!

The Others is amazing and I remember being blown away by it when I watched it. Totally love it!

The new Boogyman was probably one of my favorite more last year. It actually made me really get into it and i felt it wasn't all jumpscare like many horror movies do today. I love horror movies that build it up and takes it time.

Talk to me.. Omg what a great flix. I think I have to watch it again. I'm looking forward to see what comes next from the director.

Oh and Antichrist. Wow, that movie was such a mixed bag for me. I really liked it until the ending, but I won't go into spoiler territory. It's definitely one of the more fucked up movies I've seen, but I wouldn't say it's really that bad.

By the way, if you're into Lars Von Trier then The House that Jack built is pretty good as well. And if you're interested in something that is not horror related Melancholia is a great movie, but it might be a hard watch if you're not to patient. The reason I love it is because it truly shows how depression can be.

No shit

At this point there is no point in beliving in Putin when he talks about red lines. Apparently he would Nuke the shit out of Ukraine if they entered Russian territory but this has not happened after Kursk..

I'm intrigued!

It's so fucked up. There are so many fucked up humans around. How can it be that someone think this is OK??

The US have nevet really cared about the Palestinians in my eyes. If they did they would have stopped the funding of Israel.

Haha. I got a laptop as a backup in case seomthing happens to my main pc and it runs Mint. It has saved me numerous times.

Yeah. I followed his case and started using Mega the day it was released to the public.. I also stopped using after Dotcom warned against the people who now run it.. Apparently the guy is a Chinese criminal.

Dotcom has not been in control of Mega for a long time now..

Makes sense if they want to study it further.. It's not like a great idea to just start providing this treatment if they are not sure it's beneficial or even dangerous. But I have high hopes for it.
