Remake Hell Strikes Again / TK

Trade News | December 5, 2008 | Comments (64)


Oh, you worthless motherfuckers. You festering piles of vomitous ass-fluid. You suck Satan’s cock in hell. You go and you suck Satan’s cock IN HELL.

You know how much I love this movie. How much I love John Carpenter in general. It’s a near-perfect B-movie. Sure, it’s not necessarily “good.” But for what it is, it’s genius. It’s got comedy, action, scathing social satire, and boobs. But still you’re gonna remake They Live. AND DON’T YOU ACT LIKE YOU’RE NOT GONNA FUCK IT UP, YOU MANGY SONS OF GOATFUCKING WHORES! You’re gonna fuck it up. Listing John Carpenter as a producer doesn’t mean a fucking thing. I can already see you making the cast younger and cuter and stupider and I am going to drive to Hollywood and tear a hole in your scumfucking chest cavities with my teeth and bathe in the filthy goo inside.

You bastards. You motherfucking bastards.

You do this to us on a Friday no less.

Oh, lookie. You’re working on a remake of The Thing as well. It’s only one of Carpenter’s best films. What a splendid idea. I hope your dick grows spikes and fucks you in your own ass.









The Love Dare Book Review | Arthur Remake

The last sentence was "I hope your dick grows spikes and fucks you in your own ass" then I look down at the ad and it says, "Have you been a dad today?"

Unitedstatians are sick.

You sons of bitches. It's fucking Christmas for fucks sake. Peace on earth?....Good will toward men? Ring any bells knobgobblers? I hope Santa slides down your chimmney, walks into your room and skull fucks you until your eyes explode and your esophagus falls out of your ass!

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas you festering pile of Hollywood assholes!

There oughta be a law....

Here, I'll add to the curses: may they have an insanely itchy crotch every single day for the rest of their lives and may they live to be 104.*

*For women, this curse would involve itching so intense that they invent the Vagina Rake and for men, this curse would cause them to actually scratch their junk right OFF.

Posted by: Anastasia Beaverhausen at December 5, 2008 9:31 AM

Take it easy admin, I hate some of the shit that comes out of Hollywood also, but they do have to make a living.

Posted by: Pookie at December 5, 2008 9:33 AM

I adore this movie, and I'm not a huge John Carpenter fan. I could watch the fight scene over and over again.

But I don't put this on the fire-up-the-Murdertank scale of atrocity. It was a good movie, an entertaining movie -- but not a sacred movie. Sure, the remake will almost certainly suck, but we'll still have the original to enjoy, and nobody's going to make me watch the remake. It'll likely just fade away into laughable obscurity like so many other shitty remakes.

Posted by: Wednesday at December 5, 2008 9:38 AM

There's no chance they'll come close to capturing what makes They Live such a joy to watch. Does it suck that there's going to be a remake? You betcha, but I'm not worried.

The Thing worries me more. This could ruin it forever like Carpenter slaughtered the validity of The Thing From Another World. Only this time, they'll just wreck Carpenter's execution and script, versus Carpenter readapting the story for his own needs and outproducing the original.

Add that to the ever growing list of horror films people under 25 think are brand new because they were not old enough to understand the existence of a horror film made before 1985. I've had someone in my age group call me an idiot before when I told her Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 was a remake. And then she hit me after I loaned her the DVD of the original, saying it was the worst film ever.

And Jesus wept.

*Calculon style* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

who in the fucking WORLD will ever be able to do only things and then run out of the rubbery confectionary required to do one of them implying that he will compensate by doing an ass load of the other thing?!?!?!

WHo will EVER be as perfect in that role as Roddy?! HIS NICKNAME IS ROWDY!!NO ONE IS ROWDY ANY MORE!!! Who's it gonna be, AntiSocial Ashton Kutcher?!
YOU TAKE DAISIES AND YOU DO THIS!?!?!?!?!?!


Okay. That Settles it. Pajibans?! which one of you did it!? which one of you killed the dog or relative or car of some all powerful Hollywood exec!?

because this is punishment and i KNOW i didnt do it.

So make yourself known.
its the only way to stop this madness

Posted by: nadine at December 5, 2008 9:50 AM

I call a boycott on both chewing bubblegum (and being out of it) and kicking ass, until such time as they cease the production of this remake.

Posted by: Snath at December 5, 2008 9:51 AM

Time for another Horrendous Picture...remember how they were going to do a Red Dawn remake?! Well, couple that with a They Live remake and I give you this...

Summer Dump Picture: "Code Name: Drain Snake" - Scheduled for an August 2012 release

As the war in Iraq rages on, and ineffectual politicians promise "change" and "hope", one man fights the good fight here at home...Samuel Wurtzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber (himself). Armed with his plunger, a .45, and his bad assed physique, he's gonna show the world that his colors don't run.

When terrorists seize Washington D.C. as predicted by Sean Hannity (himself), Sean then starts "The Conservative Underground". Armed to the teeth with faulty intel, their own staunchly conservative beliefs, and folksy downhome wisdom, they activate their best operative. Joe the Plumber, aka "Drain Snake", sets off to Washington with his fellow gun toting, kick assed Republican sidekick...Sarah Palin (herself).

Together, they storm a capital overrun by terrorists and gays in an effort to rescue Senator John McCain (himself, courtesy of the Jim Henson Creature Shop) from brainwashed Hollywood celebrities, minorities, and other undesirables. Culminating in a showdown with President Barack Obama (Denzel Washington) at the top of the Washington Monument, Drain Snake is gonna share the wealth...OF PAIN!

(Please Note: Since the Obama Victory, we've been debating whether to dump this picture DTV or if we should just release it to "limited markets" comprised of Red States. This will be a point of order at the next staff meeting. Also, if reshoots are to be done in order to change the picture's admittedly unrealistic ending, we're going to need to give the Henson Creature Shop at least five weeks worth of prep time. The arms on the McCain animatronic aren't working properly.)

Posted by: Mike R. at December 5, 2008 9:52 AM

Oh, and Admin, I knew I had a Santa suit for a reason. I'm on the first flight to Hollywood.

Posted by: Mike R. at December 5, 2008 9:55 AM

Robert , i hope you Kitty-punched that bitch for such blasphemy !!!

Posted by: gilp at December 5, 2008 10:12 AM

Snath, if I read you correctly, I am to have bubblegum at all times, but never to chew it, and I am also not to kick ass, until further notice. Do I have that right? Just want to make sure what I'm signing up for here. I'd like to be part of the solution.

Posted by: sansho1 at December 5, 2008 10:12 AM

You suck Satan's cock in hell. You go and you suck Satan's cock IN HELL.

I am going to drive to Hollywood and tear a hole in your scumfucking chest cavities with my teeth and bathe in the filthy goo inside.

I hope your dick grows spikes and fucks you in your own ass.

And this is why I *heart* TK. I couldn't have said it any better myself. This is the worst idea of my life.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at December 5, 2008 10:22 AM

Much obliged Mike R. Incidently that is one film that should get made.

You're right Pookie, they do have to make a living. But it should be as the submissive in Santa's "reindeer games".

Posted by: admin at December 5, 2008 10:23 AM

Robert's first two points said it best.

I wish I could muster the outrage for this one, I really do, but the remake apathy has gotten to me. The linked article also includes news of remakes of Romancing the Stone and Arthur.

Imagine if there was an announced remake of Big Trouble in Little China? We'd have to sedate TK and put him in a home. In my case, I have a neat scotch and a bottle of sleeping pills waiting.

Posted by: branded at December 5, 2008 10:23 AM

Jesus whale-humping Christ, you bite your fucking tongue, branded! It's bad luck just saying a thing like that.

If such a thing were to happen, I blame you. And I would find you. Oh yes, I would come find you.

Posted by: TK at December 5, 2008 10:27 AM

The Thing remake is bad news, but let's face it, Hollywood remakes horror and horror-sci fi at least every 20 years, good or bad. Invasion of the Body Snatchers has been remade 3 times for Christ's sake, so it was inevitable. They Live is much more disturbing. There is no possible reason to remake it. The stars aligned for the original, and those conditions can't be replicated. But I just don't have the energy anymore to fight. They are storming EVERY FUCKING WALL.

Just remake Gone With The Wind, the Wizard of Oz, The Godfather. Just get it over with. Nothing is sacred.

Posted by: Ed Newman at December 5, 2008 10:27 AM

I've had someone in my age group call me an idiot before when I told her Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 was a remake. And then she hit me after I loaned her the DVD of the original, saying it was the worst film ever.

Robert, if you would be kind enough to give me this person's address, that would be terrific, because I am going to hunt her down and beat the remake-watching hell out of her send her a Christmas card.

Nope, really I'm going to beat her in the head. How dare she impugn TCM? Unacceptable. Just... no. It's.. I ... I have no words. I'm literally sputtering aloud at my desk at work right now. Thank godtopus my office mate doesn't work Fridays.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at December 5, 2008 10:28 AM

Why? Seriously why? i just watched this 2 weeks ago on demand and i was effing stoked. The alley fight has to be one of the BEST goddamn fight scenes in cinema history. I am completely serious. Put it up against the big fight in iThe Quiet Man, Any Which Way You Can, any Chuck Norris movie, anything with Van Damme and it fucking holds water. It may be the best ever. It's just visceral and angry and it's probably the closest thing to a real street fight on film.

And a remake of The Thing?!!?! You think you can do it better Hollywood? i watch this movie at LEAST once a month. Rob Bottin's FX are still legit as all get out and look better than half the shit that get's green-screened nowadays. And this movie does something that horror movies these days don't do. It's scares you. I watch it now and STILL get creeped out. Thanks Hollywood. Thanks for raping my memories and sodomizing me with you big WB-schmegma-covered stinkfist.

I hope whomever directs this movie crashed into a gas truck. I'm gonna go back in time, find you as a baby and roll you over in your sleep so you die a fucking crib death.

Posted by: PissBoy at December 5, 2008 10:33 AM

The last sentence was "I hope your dick grows spikes and fucks you in your own ass" then I look down at the ad and it says, "Have you been a dad today?"

Really Sofia right below the sentence for me is The Punisher ad. This makes me wonder that the hell is going on in that movie that spiked penises would be involved. *shudder*

As for my role as Crazy/Exec. Prod./Diva/Publicity Whore/Kraft services girl in Firelight, Mike R., I think we should send this baby to theaters in target markets. Hell, we could even do wide-release just to invoke scandal.

It'll explain why I'd have to go into rehab right afterwards.

Posted by: Kayanne at December 5, 2008 10:37 AM

Kayanne, you and Admin are shining examples of what Horrendous Pictures stands for. (Oh, and while you're here, do you have any idea who we'd have to romance to become the "Official Studio" of Pajiba? I'm not sure if we should go the direct route to Mr. Rowles, or if we need to throw it open to a vox populi vote.)

Not only is the studio going to cover your rehab, but it will also pay for the drugs and alcohol to put you there. Consider it as grease on the wheels as you star in Firelight, you're gonna need it to get through shooting.

Fun story: My best friend once told me that Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo drank heavily while shooting Super Mario Bros., so they could make it through the day. This not only furthers my respect for both of those gentlemen, but makes me wonder what Dennis Hopper did to get through the days.

Posted by: Mike R. at December 5, 2008 10:43 AM

What about The Thing? I just mentioned this to a buddy of mine and he says it's gonna be made-for-TV and a sequal...not a remake. Please...please tell me that's true. i can do with Sci-Fi doing a sequal mini-series...barely. But i can deal with it.

Posted by: PissBoy at December 5, 2008 10:43 AM

TK, I do hate being a pessimist in these situations, and I feel as you do about that movie. However, the inevitability of the spread of remakeorrhea (the rampant STD that causes ill-conceived remakes) scares me.

My impending summary execution is dully noted. I only ask that you stay away from the face, as I haven't chosen between casket or cremation.

Posted by: branded at December 5, 2008 10:47 AM

I've still never seen They Live...

Imagine if there was an announced remake of Big Trouble in Little China?

That's what I thought the news was at first, and I must say I got more than a little gleefull imagining the scope of TK's wrath.

And DUDE, The Thing without Kurt Russell? That's just wrong. Peeing on Jesus wrong.

Posted by: Julie at December 5, 2008 10:50 AM

Yes, sansho1, that is exactly what I very confusingly said.

Everyone buy one pack of bubblegum (because I've boycotted being out of bubblegum), and keep it in your pocket at all times. Do not chew it, as I have also boycotted that. If someone makes fun of you for carrying around a pack of gum all the time but not chewing it, do not kick their ass, as that is also boycotted.

That is all.

Posted by: Snath at December 5, 2008 10:51 AM

Snath.

I'm in.

But i cant see what this will achieve? How will they know we're doing it?Do they have special sunglasses too?

Posted by: Nadine at December 5, 2008 10:55 AM

Ohh, you haven't even begun to comprehend the flow of Yoohoo ass that Hollywood is about to unleash upon us. Here's just a taste of the poo sandwhich with poo dressing and poo brownie their about to serve up:

The Creature from the Black Lagoon
Arthur (with Russell "that douche from the MTV awards" Brand)
Romancing the Stone
Soylent Green (only has a chance of they rewrite it to say "Soylent Green is Hollywood Exec's!")
Captain Blood (I think only Dustin is old enough to remember this one. Was it in color, Dustin?)

Posted by: Manny at December 5, 2008 10:56 AM

*salutes* Mike R. I will valiantly take on this challenge. And while I cannot promise you that in my dramatic comeback I will get preggo from the right kind of skeezeball, but I can promise you that my downfall will be so glorious gossip bloggers will be obsessed with it for a full week.

We'll sell millions of tickets. It'll be my Fucktard Opus.

(Also, I respect those guys more knowing they had to be drunk to do that movie, too. They were probably like, "Hell yea I love Mario! There's no way this movie could be bad. I'll sign, script-unseen!" And then they saw it. I had no idea John Leguizamo was living so valiantly with a piece of himself dead inside.)

Posted by: Kayanne at December 5, 2008 11:13 AM

Mike R. I have consulted the Ouija board and spoken with someone named "Bob". He advises that we should lobby the overlords as a whole. We shall bring excessive amounts liquor of various types and perhaps a lady of the night or two. High class ones, like $50-$100 an hour high class. Also, puppies for the ladies. By puppies I mean man whores of the RDJ variety. We all know who really runs this show and lets Dustin out to play.

Posted by: admin at December 5, 2008 11:16 AM

I've never seen They Live and now I kind of feel like I've been missing out, but didn't know it. I probably should rectify this.

Posted by: tamatha at December 5, 2008 11:21 AM

Kayanne while I have faith in your abilities to navigate the downward spiral, I have to insist on a handler. As such I will have to be with you at all times to ensure the Paps have every opportunity to photograph you in your drug and alcohol fueled fuckardedness.

It will be monumental. We shall make Britney look like a good mother and roll model and Amy Winehouse will appear to be Mother fucking Theresa by comparison.

If they remake Big Trouble I'm getting my hands on a nuke. Don't ask how or where, I know people. O.k. I don't know people. But I do know Eskimos.

Posted by: admin at December 5, 2008 11:26 AM

I'll bet anything that Conrad had something to do with this...

We need to have a fundraiser to make a remake of the remake so we can release it at the same time, rendering both movies obsolete.

Posted by: Skitz at December 5, 2008 11:26 AM

No sunglasses, Nadine, just their powers of Master Douchery to detect when someone isn't falling into line (to buy tickets).

Posted by: Snath at December 5, 2008 11:28 AM

Thanks Snath. Now that's all cleared up, let the boycott begin


Oh and...just, ....if there is EVER an attempt to remake BTLC(thats Big Triuble, not like, Bacon lettuce Tomato....caterpillar..) There....there will be a reaping.


Such a reaping

Posted by: nadine at December 5, 2008 11:32 AM

STOP SAYING THAT!!!!

Urge... to pre-emptively mass murder... rising...

Posted by: TK at December 5, 2008 11:34 AM

Thank you all for the generous offers of a hit on that bit...err...holiday cards for my frienemy. I have the situation under control now. She won't see horror films in theaters without someone else, so I've just convinced everyone else in our group not to see remakes with her. Case closed.

Posted by: Robert at December 5, 2008 11:35 AM

You dirty motherfucker!

Posted by: Lucas at December 5, 2008 11:36 AM

I just remembered...the cripple fight from South Park mimicked the street fight from the end of They Live...hysterical stuff no matter what version you watch.

Posted by: Mike R. at December 5, 2008 11:42 AM

*sniffles* admin that sounds beautiful.

As a kid in school they told me I could be whatever I wanted when I grew up. When I told my teacher I wanted to be a dirty trainwreck of a whore, she said it could never be. I thought that dream was lost forever until you... Excuse me, I'm getting choked up. I need to go driving around in a convertible with no pants and then buy a ton of shit from Kitson so compose myself.

Thank you sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman.

Posted by: Kayanne at December 5, 2008 11:50 AM

New game. Lets see if we can push TK off the deep end by mentioning a big Hollywood remake of Big Trouble in Little China. Maybe it could star Shia Labeouf and Britney Spears. That would be Awesome!

Posted by: admin at December 5, 2008 12:03 PM

Wow I'm obnoxious today.

Leave it alone.

Posted by: bucdaddy at December 5, 2008 12:07 PM

Sweet Jumping Jesus in Jodhpurs, they're planning on remaking Creature from the Black Lagoon? Holy shit, these people are fucking dseperate. That movie was one of the all-time great cheese movies, and even cheesier when it got the 3-d treatment. PLEASE, for the love of all that is unholy, leave the Gill-man alone!

Oh, and Captain Blood was in black and white. I've seen it on TCM a few times and still love the hell out of it. I don't ordniarily get mancrushes on any modern actor, but Errol Flynn makes my palms sweat.

And remaking "The Thing? Fuck YOU, Hollywood scumbubbles. I hope the Ghost of James Arness as the Giant Carrot comes up out of the grave and goes all zombie on your putrescent asses.

Posted by: The Wanderer at December 5, 2008 1:00 PM

...Admin, are you daring me to dream this monster up? Really, are you really daring me to do this? Because I'll do it. I'm ready to go all Oppenheimer on this bitch! Just say the word!

Posted by: Mike R. at December 5, 2008 1:13 PM

*Ahem* TK, we have a couple of demands. Let's start with one Mr. Prisco and the absence of a certain weekly column which was conspicuously absent yesterday and is now being held hostage in a sad attempt at regaining a position of dominance he mistakenly thought he held.

Stand by Mike R.

Your move sir.

Poking a bee hive is the most fun the moment right before you get repeatedly stung in the eyes.

That being said... *clears throat*
I heard that Journey was voted the worst band of all time, Clemens is coming out of retirement to pitch for the Red Sox again, once Ted Kennedy can no longer serve Sarah Palin will be appointed to replace him, as a group all filmmakers have agreed to stop making zombie movies, and the remake of BTLC will star Dane Cook as Jack Burton and be written by Paul Haggis.

I don't know, TK ... they could have made the original fight scene a little longer.

Maybe in the sequel they'll be able to push it past the 38 minute barrier ...

Posted by: A Bowl of Stupid at December 5, 2008 9:52 PM

God I hate nerds who bitch and moan about remakes. You STILL have your original "They Live". That terrible, horrible, boring pile of shit will be there for you everyday, asshole.

Posted by: Horace H. Kempster at December 6, 2008 9:58 PM

Fear is a mind killer and I completely agree. This is, excuse me, will unfortunatlly be just another example of a good, original, and sincere, though low-budget empowering narrative turned pretentious drivel used to push sudo-environmentalist, depopulation, economic collapse, ecological disaster, malthusian disaster bio/chem pandemic, NWO, martial law, end of the world, 2012, The Revelation, ect, and ect. Of Course with today's advanced and perfected indoctrination techniques used through Holywood most will never even see the real agenda while at the same beLIEving they have achieved some insight. "Fear mongering keeps them ignorant and profitable, they will always obey" WORNG. The Memes make the Zeitgeist which leads to a new paradigm which is inherent. We will choose life.
