Remake vs Original

[Todd Phillips]

1.  Actually a tie between these.  I love both of them.

2.  I've only seen the remake, and I can barely remember that one since I last saw it when I was about 6 or 7.

3.  Original, all the way.

4.  Haven't seen either of them, for some reason.  Will do so, someday.

5.  Can't make much of a comparison, since I've only seen the remake, which I really liked.

Well, I do think it did address some of the late 80's/early 90's relevancies as well as the original at the same time having fun with the differences a generation can make.

Barbara the azzkicker was a welcome change, demonstrating that modern women could be as tough as needed. Ben and Cooper going at each other even more than the firstwas fun as was Ben trying to do the "right" thing and it backfiring on him.

The modern hollow doors in the upstairs remodelling was really a cute touch.

I am curious what is going to be different in the Dawn of the Dead remake.

I'm a Tony Todd fan, and I almost would go with the remake, but the original does a better job of scaring me. Original by a close margin here.

Remake, just because of Steve Martin.

Original. No question. "Get your paws off me, you damn dirty human" doesn't have quite the same ring. You can't redo a twist ending like that, though the remake comes very close.

Remake. Kurt Russell kicks it!

> Ringu

Original. Sad to think that American film is resorting to borrowing Japanese successes.

How is that sad? Japanese stuff is way more stylish than anything our dumbass directors can come up with( cept a small handfull, which includes Sam raimi)
