Perhaps a remake will bring us similar leadership in the white house like we had when the original came out.

FYI - the central theme is how governmental intrusion is destructive to the community

Perhaps it will form a crack in the universe and kill us all, including time and space.

We discussed this yesterday at lunch....bad idea all the way around....They are trying to remake, "Scarface" as well...and even though the Al Pacino was a remake, it is a classic and shouldn't be messed with...IMO

And that's another one! What the Holy Spaghetti Monster is wrong with these people??? There is nothing in Footloose to revisit or add to. It's like redoing Tron. What's the goal? To make it even worse??? The only thing interesting you could do with Scarface is have the bad guys all be non violent and not use bad language. Maybe they could traffic in contraband orange safety signs for the back of horse drawn carriages?

I swear to God or Pete or the HSM, we could hand $10 million to ANYONE on this forum and get a better movie than 1/2 of what Hollywood comes up with.

They are remaking Dirty Dancing too! :mad:

Remember when they remade The Longest Yard and Walking Tall...:mad:

OK, but, those were good, classic movies and the remakes get much kudo's for expanding artistic interpretation and finding new avenues of expression.

:buddies:Ha! Yet you sit high and mighty on your chair of judgement and have pre-deemed Footloose as having not expanded artistic interpretation and finding new avenues of expression! You dear sir are not Siskel nor Ebert. :mad:

NOOOO!!! :cds:

99.9% of the movies you watch these days are remakes. Sorry.

Madam, ney, I shall not presume to declare for art there with which art is art as, pray tell, that which thoueth consider of high art-ishness is, truly nestled in thine optical nerve center like yon fly in thousest porridge.

I can't wait! OMG! I wanna be first in line. Maybe the ending will be different and he will see that dancing is bad.

Frankly, I don't give a damn

Adam Sandler, Burt Reynolds. :shrug: Samesame, right?

I felt this same hysteria over True Grit. Then I loved the remake. A very different interpretation, much truer to the book. It doesn't lessen my love for the original, for there is room in my heart for both.

I'm willing to give Footloose a chance.

I hope the preacher's daughter is hotter and doesn't have "up three days doing meth" bags and rings under her eyes.

The Longest Yard

What was annoying was they took Burt's rogue ####heel who deserved his jail sentence and turned him into Adam's misunderstood victim of an evil woman.

The Longest Yard (Burt's) is one of my all-time favorite movies, but I liked Sandler's version almost as much. I even remember where I was the first time I saw it - Larry and I were in a La Quinta in Dallas, catching a plane the next morning to come home from a visit with my son.

That is pretty much what Chamberlain said about Hitler's dancing and we see how that turned out.

The preview I saw showed some hysterical teeny bopper yelling "what are you gonna doooo DAD Make another LAWWWW" with fake tears painted on her face. I lost interest right there.

You are so judgmental.

Are they doing a remake of it?

:yahoo: That's super cool. The only thing that would be cooler would be if they switched it up and made the protaganist a female played by...


Lady Gaga.

I hate remakes of movies, period! Especially when they mess with classics such as Halloween or Arthur with that douche Russell Brand!

You actually like Russell Brand? If so, you would be the first I have encountered.

Footloose was a great coming of age film! It taught me so much. Now whenever I'm mad or just peeved off at the world..I find an abondoned warehouse and I just DANCE!

Personally, I found religion and spiritual awareness from Footloose!

I happen to be of the opinion that tim burton should direct every movie. ever.

Well, we happen to agree on your opinion. :high5:

Oh please don't. It's one of my guilty pleasures - a really stupid movie I happen to like. Some movies are dumb enough - like "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" or "Mars Attacks" - that it is part of their charm. Even if you IMPROVE the movie, you make it worse.

Have they really run out of ideas? Hollywood does remakes - sequels - prequels - reboots - TV shows - and comic books. At this point I'd be ready for reality movies, but they make those now, too.

The preview I saw was when they were dancing in the parking lot, but all it was was the grinding crap that kids do nowadays. Thats when I lost interest.


As cheesey as the orginial Footloose was, it was still a great movie. I think this new one is gonna ruin it.


AND THEY BETTER NEVER EVER TRY TO REMAKE THE OUTSIDERS!!!!!!!!!! :cds:
