Heh, have everyone sign a waiver before they can enter the theater.

I love the end of Matinee when the old guy says to John Goodman's character that the only problem with shocking patrons would be if some of them had already wet their pants. I guess that would complete a circuit.

I'm actually surprised they haven't gotten around to this one sooner. I figured if there was any Castle film that people would want to take a shot at it would be the one with the best and most notorious gimmick. This is probably my favorite film of his, but I can see why Hollywood big ego types couldn't resist messing with this one and believing they can do it better with CGI and such. They're wrong, I'm just surprised it took this long for someone to try it.

But looking at the list of his films, there are some I wouldn't mind seeing remade like "Mr. Sardonicus", "Homicidal", or "Straitjacket". And there are some like "Zotz!" or "Shanks" that I wish someone would be dumb enough to try to remake. They could always try remaking "Jesse James Vs. the Daltons" his grade-Z 50s 3-D western.

Castle cranked out a lot of "product" himself as a producer, writer, and director, and even remade "The Old Dark House" so I have a hard time being a purist about his work. He was a hell of a showman, but he was also a businessman, and moviemaking is still a business even if there are a lot of idiots and egomaniacs making the decisions.

What a shame, yet another remake that'll quickly go to video and make a minimal profit. Why should the new generation of kids see the originals when they're going to be remade?

In Australia (boring reagan :D) we have had all Castle movies in cinemas. All crap. Like with other "remakes" - Hollywood use a brain: but not Donovans LOL

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
