I for one
Have had enough of Hollywood remakes, romantic comedy with the most boring characters , and superhero remakes
Same copy paste shit
Once in a blue moon a new decent movie comes out, but imo Hollywood is boring as hell anymore

I can't comment on romantic comedies, but I am pretty familiar with horror films. You know that people have been making horror movies since the 1890s? Since the 1920s, pretty much every horror film is a remake to some degree. Some filmmakers embrace that fact and just remake classics, which is, IMO, better than a so-so movie being iterated into endless shitty sequels. Sometimes we get Gus Van Sant's remake of 'Psycho', which was terrible, but sometimes we get excellent movies that are every bit as lovable as their source. Rob Zombie's 'Halloween' and Fede Alvarez's 'Evil Dead' remakes come to mind. So to hate on a remake simply because it's a remake, without even having seen it, is pretty ridiculous to me. I don't fully understand why someone wouldn't want to see a beloved but older movie get updated for modern viewing. If it sucks, don't watch it again; it's taken nothing away from the original. But if it's great, then you've got a choice in perspective the next time you want to see that story. Try to keep an open mind.

I feel like horror movies have went to shit, but im looking forward to this remake. They better not make it gay like all the other "scary" movies out there though. I want blood/gore and crazy psychological shit. Lol
Not a ghost story with predictable jump scares.

Babadook was the only good horror movie in like the last 20 some years to come out. Antichrist was a good one but idk if i call that horror. Idk what i would call it. Fucked?

Just read about this today. I don't know why they want to remake IT, the original films were pretty decent.
They should make another story, perhaps that way they might come across as smart rather than dumb unimaginative money grabbing wannabes.

Just my opinion though, but you make some good points

Not impressed.
The clown in the new film seems cheap and crappy, sounds like a drunk guy from New Jersey; Tim Curry was really good. Even though the first half of the original movie was good, the second half was almost a different film. I wonder if this film will be as long.

did the book really have a childern sex gang bang?
If so, Steven King is more fucked up than i thought.
Yeah man they dig a spider hole like club house and they all take a turn with beverly, I was about 17-19 when i read it and had no clue how that scene moved the story forward i guess they were all connected better after the gang bang. Maybe i should ask the movement the importance of gang bangs with friends.
I figured they had already been drawn pretty close by the fucked up shit that happened to them.

@Burke, I hear that dracula untold was the start of the universal monsters remake, there already working on a mummy movie and some other i forgot.
You ever watch hammer films, They are pretty good. And recently i found out the movie sleepy hollow was done hammer style with the super red blood and strange esthetics.

The other upcoming Universal monster remake you're thinking of is (yet another) Wolfman story. 
And of course I'm familiar with Hammer films. They're cool, sometimes. While there's never been one that I'm over the moon about, I do appreciate that gothic sense of classicism. They still make films; check out The Woman in Black. It was actually pretty decent. I love all horror, foreign and domestic, but if you like movies with a certain aesthetic cohesion, look into Italian "giallo" horror. Directors like Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci. They took the sensibilities that made Hammer so recognizable, but craft the film elements like cinematography, lighting, and music into real art. The acting usually sucks, but fuck it. It's a horror movie.

Aren't they working on a universal monster movie universe? Idk if i heard someone say they should or if they are. While i think that would have some potential(more then the marvel universe) but i feel like if the marvel universe keeps doing well, we're gonna see 100 years of hollywood studios just making and merging shitty movies into half assed cinematic universes.
Idk i think it's funny how blatant hollywood is copying mey details from other movies.
"Oh, inception used loud bassy noises to build tension? Guess what every trailers composition for the next three years will be!! What's that an R rated comic book movie did really well? Well let's throw a couple fucks and dick jokes in there and call It a night!!"
Superhero movies are the worst about this, but really so many genres and movies anymore just appear to be copy/paste formats with different characters. For the last 5 years or so my brain files superhero movies into the same slot as lifetime chick flicks(background noise)
Idk I'm gonna stop before i derail the thread.

I also just read Revival on Burkes recommendation. Entertaining but not his best by far

I loved Revival. One of my biggest issues with King is that his endings are always really sappy, but that one ends bleak. Also, the whole book is a love letter/homage to earlier horror authors, folks like Lovecraft, Poe, Shelley, etc. I'm a fan of that classic stuff, so that was right up my alley.

Funny you say that. When I started reading King when I was in my early teens I always felt the books ended in a bad way for main character. At least compared to most of the stuff you get to read at that age. The ending to the Dark Tower was pretty brutal.
I think his works got a more positive vibe in general after he had that serious accident and almost died. Miracles and fate started to come in.
Revival was still a pageturner though, I read it two maybe three days 
Tonight imma start 11/22/63
