Does the universe really need eleven Saw movies?

The next installment of Dune is one of the few movies I am genuinely excited for.

Do we need literally half of the movies on this list to remakes? Beetle juice? Beverly Hills cop 4, Gladiator 2? do they think they can do that better than the originals.

Where are all the good movie writers hiding, I am assuming the same place the good music writers are hiding.

It’s easier to do a remake than come up with new ideas.

Just about everything that hits theaters anymore is a billion dollar buffet of eye candy wrapped in crap story telling, or a rebooting of something old and name brand, with “modern sensibilities” puked all over it.

Movies with the budgets of things like the original Ninja Turtles Movie, Fight Club, The Last Samurai, etc., that lack CGI but compensate with great story telling are usually produced by and tucked away in the various streaming services now.

Good stuff the above are the ones I won’t be missing this year.

Deadpool 3 being my most anticipated.

At least 12 to make it a good box set.

I saw a Chinese movie on Netflix that had potential. Can’t remember the name, but a big plant was taking over the world, brought to earth by a meteor shower. They called it Pandora because it had the potential to save earth atmospherically but destroy humanity.

But I’m not investing 2 hours into a subtitled flick without some Kung fu.

Warriors of Future is the name.

Plus some movies are very much a product of their time.

A modern day Beetlejuice just isn’t going to work. It needs that Cold War end of the Belin Wall backdrop that the original had. It was a product of its time.

Same thing with Gladiator. It came out in that weird time before 9/11 but after Mogadishu and Rwanda. And movies of that time were WEIRD.

Godzilla Minus One was fantastic in terms of both storytelling and its use of CGI and special effects. Made on a 20 million equivalent US budget.

I like to compare it to the Marvels. Which I couldn’t even get 15 minutes into. And that was made on a 250 million dollar budget.

? Better be a damn good sequel. Can’t see how they could pull it off.

The main actors are all Social Security eligible. Hope they have plenty of tapioca pudding on set.

If they come from a complete insanity angle, which I imagine they will, where the musical is in his head, this could be maniacally entertaining.

With 12 Saw movies, fans could watch 24 hours of nonstop torture porn. :nauseated_face:

That sounds interesting, I’ll check it out. I usually avoid movies with subtitles, especially movies with a lot of visual effects. I watched The Wandering Earth on Netflix, which is another Chinese movie with an interesting sci-fi plot, and luckily they had an English dubbed version. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than spending two hours reading and missing all the visuals.

It may be dubbed. I just kind of glossed over it, but decent premise.
