I agree with what you're saying 100%, Fletch. Trainspotting has done nothing to be deserving of being in that sentence.

There was a guy sitting in front of my friends who was getting VERY upset with the crowd. I think he came in expecting to really sit and watch a movie while everyone else was there to drink and yell at the screen. He probably came away disappointed.

If it's playing in a theater near you, go. It's worth sitting through again just for that experience.

After we saw the movie, we went to our favorite karaoke bar downtown, since it was only half a mile away. While there, someone announced that it was their friend Lisa's birthday. This lead to me, very loudly, shouting 'You are tearing me apart, Lisa!'. I never though I'd use a phrase like that outside of the theater.

As for Plan 9, yeah, The Room is much worse. Have you SEEN Death Bed: The Bed That Eats though? It's a tough call between it and The Room.

I did see The Descent 2. In fact, I traded reviews on it with 1416andcounting.com!

Frankly, I really enjoyed the second one. I thought it was just what a sequel should be, a little more over the top, while still maintaining what made the first one great. I was never crazy about the ending, but you can't win em all as they say.

I think I need to keep the spoiler alert picture for when I post spoilers. I find it hilarious.

You're telling me! ;)

I meant every word. I like what you're doing.

It's not a lack of creativity, at least I don't think. There's so much money at stake in a major motion picture that the studios do tend to try to play it safe. And that's fine. And it's possible that a movie can be remade well. For example, many people (myself included) consider the 1941's The Maltese Falcon to be a great movie, but it was a remake of a film done in 1931 (later re-edited and re-released in 1936). John Carpenter's The Thing was a remake of The Thing from Another World.

The restrictions I placed weren't completely arbitrary. I went with American actors mostly because the characters are American. The age ranges I chose were based on the ages of Powell and Loy when the played the roles.

It's the waiting game now. It's so hard to be sure right now when I have no experience to compare it to.
