    Randy Quaid as the Monster. That’s just smart casting. I haven’t seen this movie in over 30 years, but I remember not hating it. Definitely better than some of the other attempts at Frankenstein. I am interested in seeing Guillermo del Toro’s take on the story. Mainly because he’s an awesome director and it’s a solid cast.

    One thing I always liked about DVD’s was that they tended to have cooler collector editions, with better box art, supplementals, and special features. Unfortunately, we don’t get that a lot with blu-rays. Looking forward to more reviews.

    It's a very silly film, with a great score, good costumes (though maybe not for this story) a good Jack, and book accurate Quincy. The rest of it is utterly bonkers and Bram would spin in his grave to have his name attached to this wacky sex comedy.

      We are forming opinions based on his comments in the article linked there, which you can then read and form your own opinion. We have not seen much of his work, which we also state in the show. Toward the end of the show, we state that we hope we are wrong about our initial interpretation of what he said. We hope he makes a great Exorcist film. Thanks for stopping by!

    You know, it makes a sort of absurd sense. People remake a LOT of movies thinking that a reboot was good for many franchises. Considering that writers have so much trouble coming up with anything good these days, using a so-so movie as the basis of a new script, it has as much chance as anything else. After all, "A Star Is Born" has been remade 4 or 5 times? (After a while they start to fade into a blur.) True Grit needed a reboot, right? You mentioned the Star Trek reboot. The problem is they are betting that the movie bombed so bad that nobody will remember it and will thus THINK it is new. But of course, the real problem is that it is forgotten for a reason.

  • @BAZOOKAFLOW
    @BAZOOKAFLOW Год назад

    Why not? Noone has even been thinking about Krull for years until the news of a remake broke. It's not like all evidence of the original will magically disintegrate when the remake is created, if you wanna continue to watch reruns of that for the rest of your life, you can! Personally, I loved the original and would love to see a remake with modern day special effects.

    My guess as to why they don’t want to call it a sequel is they want to appear original while cashing in on a well-known movie.
