I dunno what all the hub-bub is about with Abrams Trek. I mean, before that movie came out, Star Trek was DEAD, DONE, FINISHED! Interest was gone, AT BEST, and the idea of ANOTHER Next Generation fiasco like Nemesis or Insurrection  just didn't sit well with many people at that point.

All this BS bickering over "plot holes" and "flashy FX" is just so much fan boy(girl) WHINING! Get over yourselves, people!

Abrams Star Trek did one thing: It REVIVED a DEAD FRANCHISE! Sure, it may not have been PERFECT, but none of the previous Trek Movies ever were, either. Personally, I enjoyed it, and I consider myself a Trekkie/er, being I like TOS and TNG! Abrams movie brought a sense of FUN back and took the last dying gasps of a franchise and put a little much needed adrenaline into the fading cardiac pulse that was the heart of Start Trek, and it didn't take itself so frakkin' SERIOUS! I have seen so many of you PRAISE the crapfest that is Star Trek IV and you have the GAUL to slam Abrams Star Trek? Oh, give me a break. You people can be so ridiculous at times.

Just so you know, I USED to be known as EagleManiac. I changed names to get a fresh perspective on this site, post without preconceptions of my like s and dislikes, and I see nothing changes. People while, bitch, moan and bicker about some of the most STUPID crap!

I can't WAIT for Star Trek Into Darkness! Those complaining or whining, oh well! Don't see it! Won't bother Abrams one bit!

I'll take the Blade Runner and Walking Dead box sets for sure! Blade Runner is one of the best movies ever made! Right there with Ridley's other masterpiece, Alien. Oh, and of course Prometheus!

MrJaw, I never believe ANY movie is perfect. The original Robocop had its flaws and I even mentioned is cheesy, but it was a film of its time, and that time was the UltraViolent 80's! Its "humor" worked simply because it was a product of that time. Its darkness was based in that time period. Some movies worked because of their TIME, almost as much as the movie itself.

Red Dawn, which was not a great movie, was a GOOD movie of the 80's because of the time it was made and the situation it was based on. The remake can't work simply because we don't have the same threat. Red in Red Dawn referred to the Soviets. Red in the remake means nothing, because the North Koreans are NOT a threat, at least not in the way it's being depicted in the remake.

I have problems with certain remakes becasue the films they remake are dependent on the time period they were made, in some ways, and is what worked so well then. Some remakes work because the story can be updated without too much loss.

Zillaman, I am just a bit underwhelmed at the look so far. I love the original, even as cheesy as it looks today. It just seems to me all the remakes go for a darker, grittier look, and lose a lot in translation. The original Robocop was a dark movie, but also had a lot of just simplem fun moments. It even had some really good touching moments, like when Robo went to his old house and had flashbacks about his life before.

Will they, the producers, do that kind of thing or just go for all-out action and forget any sense or heart? So far, most remakes have not been anywhere near their original counterpart and have been poorly done.

Total Recall anyone?? Bad bad remake.

Meh, this is looking worser and worser. That "cyborg" looks like nothing more than some "cop" in an augmented body armor suit.

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!

I saw Creepshow in the theaters back in '82 as well! SO much fun!!!

I LOVE Creepshow! The Crate is my favorite of the short stories. But the roaches are hard for me to watch. I can't stand those things! And that many of them get me all, well, CREEPY! So I guess it works!

I also want to say Thank You, George! Star Wars made me the "movie fanatic" I am today.

Star Wars also made me appreciate another aspect of movies that has gotten lost, The Musical Score. Star Wars, and most notibly, Empire, made the Music as much of a part of the film, and the movie experience, as the visuals, acting, story, etc. that make up a movie. Star Wars is the reason I have 154 Movie CD's (most doene with classical style arrangements), and a total love for classic movie themes!

George's vision as well as his need for a roaring, exciting, and also mood setting muscial score gave us the great John Williams, as well as my appreciation for other composers like James Horner, James Newton Howard, John Barry, Basil Poledouris, Howard Shore and of course, the late, great, Jerry Goldsmith!

There will be haters of George for what he did, or didn't do, with the Prequels, but George also gave so much to the film industry thatmore often than not snubbed him the awards he so richly deserved. I know The Phantom Menace was a pretty bad movie, but to be beaten by The Matrix for BEST VISUALS was absurd! If there was at least ONE thing TPM was BAD ASS about, it was the visuals! And the music. And the Jedi vs. Sith Lightsaber Duel. And the Pod Race. And Darth Maul.

I hope we get to see movies based on either the Thrawn Trilogy or even better, Vector Prime! Bring on the Yuuzhan Vong!!! We have a HELL of a lot of movie possibilities with that series! And it could be done nice and DARK, with all the blood, gore, action, and of course, the death of Chewie!
