Just don't trust the remake... Don't EVER trust the remake.

3. The remake was created to distract from the truth of the original
All the warnings about absolute corporate control of society, the restriction of individual freedom, the mastery of the oligarchy and the removal of history were all kept out of the remake.

The original's message is gone.

6. Saw 'em both.
Don't put me in the position of supporting the remake.

:shrug:

Did you get "Caan job?" not too shabby

13. The remake was just to show the world Rebecca Romijn's nip-nips
it was the only worthwhile part of the movie

2. LOL, I know what you are saying.

That is your perception, :D I don't make that claim about other people, nor myself for that matter, but I might ask, why would you use the term 'we'?

Then again it is not something to worry about. More important things to think about.

:D

10. We could do worse...
At least it's not "The Road Warrior," "Soylent Green" or "Terminator"...

Personally, I think we're getting much closer to "The Running Man", but maintain hope that society can aspire to "Futurama":crazy:

11. Maybe we'll have to settle for 'Robocop'
Although a bit closer to 'Blade Runner'.

12. It did cross my mind -- I think we're damn near that now in some cities...
But Blade Runner would be liveable
