    Well, it was going to happen in the end... Total Recall gets remade...

    ...didn't think it would be this soon though!

    Did anyone ever see that episode of "South Park" on season 6, titled "Asspen"? It's got a funny little poke at Total Recall in the very end...very funny. In fact, that episode is one of the best ones of that season, which is saying something, cuz it's a damn good season. Go to allsp.com to check it out.

    Back to subject though, I think it's waaaay to early to consider to do this film over. I don't think it really needs made over, and I imagine it'll be a steaming pile of dog sh!t.

    *sigh*

    Guaranteed it'll never be as good, or as iconic as the original. It's too soon and it's yet another "reachy remake". They're really desperate now...hopefully this is chiming the death knell for the fad of remakes.

    The odd, well chosen and hard-worked-on remake is perfectly fine, it's how we got "The Thing" in 1982 after all...I think the point being, society hasn't changed enough in 20 or 30 years to warrant these remakes, it's just a cash grab and talent drought...it's also a drought of studio balls, they need to get some friggin' cojones already.

    I just do not see how they could improve on the original...

    Was it perfect? hell no ... But it was pure silly fun.

    Oh well, pigs may some day learn to fly ... it could happen...

    Well, by the time it comes out, it will have been 20 years. How long is a movie "supposed" to wait before being remade?

    I see no point in it, though. I don't even want to see the original; why would I want to see a remake?!

    If I want an Arnold flick, I'll go with Conan the Barbarian, NOT Total Recall.

    Or next up, a remake of the remake of The Fog.

    Gawd I hope that "Thing" remake doesn't get made.
