Cool.

Evil dead and evil dead 2. Some of the worst films I have ever seen. That said, the remake was fantastic.

I like the first Evil Dead a lot, although I like the remake more. Like you, I am not that big on Evil Dead 2 since it's pretty much the same movie as the first Evil Dead with less people and a lot more comedy, but the ends justify the means: we never would have gotten Army of Darkness without it.

I could not sit through the original Night of the Living Dead.

This is hard for me to comprehend. Night of the Living Dead not only still stands the test of time, but it revolutionized the world of horror and also of film in general. Without George Romero we would now be watching shittily made, boring horror films with Vincent Price IV.

You leave those Hammer films alone!

I blame Christopher Nolan for the large amount of sequels/reboots that have been happening recently

Which large amounts of sequels/reboots?

You mean like Spider-Man?

I think Sony has the Spider-Man rights for six total films but Toby & Co. no longer wanted to continue after 3.

Man of Steel and Superman/Batman?

They're setting up Justice League.

 

[Spidey Revivey]

Is watching other people eat really quality television?

I mean shows like Man vs. Food, where someone stuffs their face for the cameras. Is that compelling tv to anyone?

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Yes.

I probably exaggerated when I said large amount.

Spider-Man yes. Man Of Steel sort of. They'd been trying to do a new one for ages. But I blame Nolan's success with Batman as to why they've decided to do a more gritty serious interpretation. I mean that's the tone for most comic book movies now as well as new takes on an old franchise (Star Trek) I mean the thing about Marvel and Disney is they can balance different tones very well, whereas most other ones can't.

I don't think Marvel really has any "gritty" franchises yet so I'm fine with Amazing Spider-Man and Man of Steel both becoming a bit more "realistic," though I don't think either them even touch Nolan Batman in terms of "grit."

Which I think is good, because I don't think Nolan Batman (even if they wanted to continue) would have worked well in a Justice League universe at all. It would have been far too big of a tug of war to try and reign in Bale to be believable while standing next to the current Man of Steel (definitely could not have done it with Roth), so they seem to be hitting a point between Nolan and Superman Returns.

Spider-Man (Toby trilogy) got far, far too campy with Spider-Man 3. So reigning the series back to more serious with Amazing isn't too bad either I think.

I watched it not so much for the challenges but for the same reason I watch Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives: I just like seeing the culture around America in terms of food. Triple D also shows you how to make some stuff and where to try stuff. MvF is more about getting the word out for where to eat. Like ever since he did the challenge at Chompie's here in Tempe I've wanted to go there to at least try their food.

Harry Potter is the worst sort of Marty Sue in the world, followed closely by Dumbledore. Having to sit through this shit again is awful.

Music videos aren't as good as they used to be (generally)

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Which era do you consider to be the best for music videos?

 

[Alex]

90s/early 2000s ( up to 2005ish). The 80s had some good ones as well but they were still seeing what could be done with the medium

 

[Wildcat66]

The Legend of Hercules actully doesn't look nearly as bad as you think.

 

[Spidey Revivey]

I think we give CGI'd movies way too much shit. Same goes for remakes and book adaptations.

CGI I agree with.

When it comes to remakes/reboots it depends on the franchise. I can see the logic behind Evil Dead/Robocop/Clash Of The Titans etc. But rebooting Spiderman a mere four years after the other one is just cash grabbing.

Sam Raimi Spider-Man>Amazing Spider-Man

Please tell me I'm not the only one who believes this, nobody IRL agrees with me!

Amazing Spider-Man was a good superhero movie. Sucked as a Spider-Man movie but was ok as a general superhero movie.
