    Gus van Sant's Psycho was a virtual shot-for-shot remake. Interesting film buff analysis here

    Generally, I can't see the point of a remake if it's not going to add something. Even then, some remakes are just complete blasphemy (look at the cast!!!).

    Oh, come on. It's not as though the original was a classic, FCOL! It was a piece of cold-war hokum.

    I'll watch anything with Jennifer Connelly in it. Usually in a state of mild delirium.

    We're so pleased you could join us! (! geddit!?)

    Wait till you start looking through the extras. Especially the deleted scenes. It - broadens your appreciation of the film.

    Watch out for the debate on whether Deckard is a replicant. I'm with Frank Darabont on this one; he articulates my view almost word for word in the relevant section.

    And - lastly - isn't it a bargain, price-wise? I got it for Crimble but I saw it online for less than £15.

    I liked the comment by Edward James-Olmos (Gaff) when he said About him being a Cylon !! Erm.. hello.. you're not in Battlestar Galactica now..

    I think the whole Deckard is he/isn't he would have been a bit more obvious if he'd been shiny chrome with a night rider headlight (obviously harking back to the old school B.G. here.)

    Tell me - when you very first saw the film, and Sean Young said 'Do you like our owl?' and walked across the room through bars of light and shade and then stopped in close up...

    ...did your tongue fall out and unroll like Jim Carrey's in The Mask, like mine did?

    Re: Aliens Vs Predator - Requiem

    Caught the last few minutes of AvP on TV last night.

    The film was a little slow, and it was pretty frustrating in the middle with all the fol-de-rol with the Indiana Jones-style moving stone walls in the underground castle, ho hum, but the final scenes were pretty good.

    And I liked the echo with the first Alien that the only person left is the woman.

    But still IMHO after Aliens it was all downhill.

    Sean Young - yes? No? Or are you currently not allowed to say?
