Susan George has frog lips. Real, I suppose, but beautiful? To a frog, maybe.
You’re making my point better than I am. Remakes and adaptations will always happen. Arguing against all remakes and all adaptations is probably one of the stupidest things you can say in regards to movies.
And you popping a blood vessel (while humorous to me) won’t change that.
If it has James Marsden in it, will he be losing his girlfriend to a rival?
See the characters he’s played in X-Men, Superman Returns, and Enchanted.
Another vote for Susan “Dirty Mary” George.
And I’m not arguing against all remakes. Just saying that most of them suck balls. You’ve created a straw man (or a wicker man, for another example of an incredible movie with a laughably, obscenely awful remake.)
I take exception to The Wicker Man example. I thought it was hilariously awful. By the time he put on the bear suit I was ROFLMAO. I found it far more entertaining than the original, in an unintended way. (except for the hot naked chick in the original).
The movies of the 70s were wonderfully awash with beautiful long-haired women with bare breasts. Movies today are woefully lacking in this department. It’s almost like there was a rule back in the 70s where any movie, even a comedy, needed to have at least one scene with a sexy woman showing her breasts. Nowadays you’re more likely to see male cocks in a movie.
Really? What are you talking about? There is far more nudity in recent films than ones in the 70s, from what I recall.
Remember Animal House? You hardly ever have a comedy nowadays with that kind of casual nudity. Not nudity to make a point or to be a punch line of a joke - just nudity for the sake of nudity. The only nudity in most comedies now is some guy’s hairy ass or flaccid cock, especially in Apatow-land.
For its time, Strawdogs was extremely violent. It was not a great movie but was pushing the bar back a bit.
You missed the latest extension to that franchise, The Fourth Man?
Hell, I saw it when it was new and it was drawn-out and really boring. It needs a good remake so it can live up to its hype.
A good remake does not star James Marsden.
I thought the original was horrible. I only watched it because the main character was a mathematician. The only scenes I remember liking are the ones involving the blackboard.
dropzone had already beaten Askance to death with a manhole cover when he realized he’d been whooshed.
Um, sorry, dude. 
Did you read the OP that you yourself wrote? It’s nothing but a screed against all remakes. Yes it was mostly focused on Straw Dogs, but it started with this line…
“Instead of coming up with original ideas for movies, they crank out remake after dogshit remake.”
And your complaints in subsequent posts just snowballed from there.
Jesus Christ, you sure are hell-bent on debating me, aren’t you? Well, I stand by what I said. I think the remakes they make now are trash. Maybe there are other remakes that were made in the past that are good, but I’m talking only about what has come out in theaters in my own lifetime. And, anyway, why do they have to re-make the same movie with the same title and the same plot, when - if they truly were inspired by it - they could just alter it slightly, give it a different title, and at least spare people the confusion of having two movies with the same title? And have a little tiny bit more claim to some originality?
I’d have to disagree with you here. There’s far less casual nudity in cinema today than there was in the 70’s or even 80’s.
Not sure what grade of movies you were watching, but I didn’t see much in the way of mainstream nudity such as what you’re talking about here…at least not in major release “A” movies. And I don’t think we see much in the way of male full frontal nudity today. Yes, you see it, but it is not mainstream.
