do you agree or not ? Old Tue May 4, 2010 1:49:32 PM #119704 Perm Link
I don't know if I should put this in the movies or not but recently my econoomics teacher at my high school has said that the only reason hollywood keeps making remakes of old movies is because "it is a safe economic decision" personally i still don't understand this could someone explain this to me and also do you agree with this or not?

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Live, I will kill you. If I Die, You are forgiven." Such is the Rule of Honor.

It means that the studios are too lazy to attempt to find a new topic and would rather rehash a topic that is popular. They want revenue. That's why you see remakes and sequels... And they usually suck. People still flock to see them.

The statement is sound.

The new OS Xtreme theme is out in FORCE. Try it now and be amazed. It is the best style we've got.

I agree.

It translates over into the world of video games. How many good, original games do you see today? Not a hell of a lot. It's all sequels and why do they go with sequels? Because they are a cash cow hidden behind a name that people recognize.

Hollywood isn't stupid. They'll go for the quick, easy, secure buck, especially because of how things are in the world today. I know I won't throw $10 + concession out the window unless I know the movie is going to rock my socks...not that I ever really would regardless of if the economy is spiraling the drain.

The only game sequels that are fine are the story based ones. Mass Effect 2 is an example. The problem I have is that sequels tend to make the gameplay vastly different than the original...

That's not a sequel. Starcraft 2 better not do that.

I hate sequels,they are stupid fuck-ups of the original thing!

Óttast er að tala í ráðgjöf höfuð mitt En innri rödd mín segir að ég er að falla, ég falla Gætirðu vera kodda sem leysa þetta vandamál Stundum vil ég að loka augunum og treysta þér En innri rödd mín segir að ég er falla, ég falla Gætirðu verið rokk að leysa þetta vandamál

That's not necessarily true. I can think of some examples of great sequels.

Star Wars - older 3
All the Indiana Jones movies
Star Trek - any
Lethal Weapon
Die Hard

Personally, not all Star Trek movies rocked. It seemed that the even numbered ones were not as good as the odd ones, but that is IMHO.

I'm looking forward to one day seeing Iron Man 2. I heard it's a great sequel. Spiderman was a great series of movies.

I fold for team 52482. Do you fold@home?
