"The Longest Yard" remake is going to suck.

And ten years from now, when I'm talking with my full-grown nephew about how "The Longest Yard" was one of the greatest sports movies ever, he's going to say it sucked for air. I'll be too old and dotty to remember there was a remake, he'll know nothing other than the remake, and it will cause a great familial rift.

Damn you, Adam Sandler. Damn you to hell.

1. Pretty much every remake sucks

Where's the originality in Hollywood? Hollywood's turning into the country music industry.

2. I'm trying to think of one remake

that didn't suck...but I can't. There's got to be at least one.

3. Hmmm....

Cape Fear is about the only I can think of that didn't just outright suck.

4. Good one. Now, can you think of a remake

that was better than the original? There's got to be one...

5. "The Thing", perhaps?

And, not a remake but a sequel.


Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan



and maybe Invasion of the Body Snatchers

6. Oooh...good call.

I've actually never seen the original, but for a horror movie, special effects is huge. The "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" remake was also better than the original. The original body snatcher pods looked like sleeping bags filled with soap foam.

7. I saw the original Body Snatchers after the 2nd and it was a laugh-fest!
