MichaelT Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We watched this remake the other night. I've read the book a few times, saw the original made for TV movie a few times. I liked the book. The original TV movie was pretty true to the book, overall. My review of IT is simply: "I think they forgot the SH at the beginning of the title." If only U2 would have been in the soundtrack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I was watching the show "Nothing but Trailers" on AXS TV. Most of the trailers were either remakes or sequels. I guess they're too busy sexually harassing each other to come up with anything original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is definitely my favorite part of the movie but there are a lot of babes out there today that I could look at. Never get another Gene Wilder though. Who would they use, Johnny Depp?

Mr. Gibson Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 1517943033[/url]' post='1915153']Yep, can you imagine the backlash if someone tried to remake Blazing Saddles? The sheriff is near. I'm surprised they ever released that movie then,now they would burn the country up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 I was watching the show "Nothing but Trailers" on AXS TV. Most of the trailers were either remakes or sequels. I guess they're too busy sexually harassing each other to come up with anything original. I guess that's the case. Between the TV shows, movies and music reboots or remakes or whatever they're calling them, it's pretty annoying. But, I liked the book and original movie and wanted to see what they'd do with this one. Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles remakes would be absolutely horrendous without the original cast. It's like they're trying to update them with a modern look and feel but with all the effects and changes what's missing is the story, the content and feel of the original. And, what happens is that in many cases, it's worse at least in my opinion. There's exceptions of course. But how many Batmans do we need in one lifetime?

Ceptorman Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I went to that movie in the theater, I couldn't believe I stayed for the whole thing. It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It wasn't as bad as Suburbicon though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never get another Gene Wilder though. Who would they use, Johnny Depp? Depp, He could probably pull it off, one of the few that could. the cast in its entirety was excellent. A movie I have watched countless times, one of my all time favorites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie on tv was so different from the book it was laughable. It was a very , very bad rendition of a very good novel. Just read the book.
