I'm looking for the man who shot my paw.

dredd is awesome. it takes place in 2 locations, the cop shop and the building.

and karl urban never takes the helmet off, which alone makes it better than the stalone/schneider one

i don't think dredd 2012 counts as a remake. it's a completely different movie.

from what little i saw it kind of felt like the mad max sequel thing where the movies take place in a similar but not concretely same setting, and each installment is a particular twist on the saga

just finished robert cop. first half is more interesting than the back half but overall it was fine. it is also 100% nothing like the original and does not overwrite it in any way to my mind

now to watch the dredd remake


the scene in robertcop where they show whats left of his body is legit terrifying

bladerunner 2049 is kind of a remake and its probably better than the original

blade runner 2049 worked yeah. probably because the worst part of blade runner was the specific story they told and it was the setting that everyone liked, which is the easiest thing to copy over into a better new movie

its absolutely not easy to copy properly. denis did a fantastic job and i think there are few working directors who could have pulled it off.

i was semi-warned and it's still quite arresting even 7 years on. very effective and solidly contributes to the "first half is more interesting". paced well, played well, executed well. hosed up

i showed superbad to my gf other night coz she had never seen it

fuckin classic. although wow society progressed a bit since 2007. it held up better than I expected and I was half expecting my gf to think it was poo poo but she liked it more than i expected.

michael cera and jonah hill were perfectly cast. the worst part of the movie are the cops

when michael ceras character is about to get with the girl and she says she so wet and he goes “they said that would happen” omg just absolute 🤌

or when he’s in class and he’s staring at her tits and he realises she’s noticed and he pretends to look around the room? that was so relatable.

It's hard to think of 90's tv as edgy but yeah, almost none of the heterosexual relationships from then would pass muster today.

Going further back, The Thing still holds up really well. I can't believe they made this movie in the 80's but haven't figured out how to bottle this lightning since.
