Concerning the upcoming Jem movie.

Sigh, why? Just...JUST WHY? (bangs head against desk over and over) WHY? WHY? WHY?

Interesting that there appears to be absolutely no amazing magical holograms employed in the movie at all, as there was in the cartoon. "You are planning to eventually have dinosaurs on your dinosaur ride, right? Hello?"

Although it didn't help that the original creator of Jem was purposely kept out of the film's creative process.

This is just a guess, but I think it is because this generation needs to know just how truly outrageous Jem was.

Jem. Bah!

I prefer the Misfits. Their songs are better.

for a minute there I thought this was talking about illionore's character "Jen" and was about to say "wow...dude's gone mainstream"

I'm waiting for a creative mind to develop a brand new film that ISN'T a sequel or remake or based on anything.

You have the means...write something original.

Hollywood isnt interested in creativity... only what they perceive will make money. Also, you have 4th generation studio nepotism going on (read: the son of the son of the nephew of some former big wig) running everything into the ground because they are as intelligent and imaginative as a heap of dog poo.

I've stopped going to movies a long time ago for this very reason. Interestingly, the creative stuff is popping up everywhere BUT Hollywood.

Agree with C.A.B. ......how many versions of Batman will we see? Ratman, Chatman, Flatman, Fatman (oops, PC incorrect)... Let's change the premise of Star Trek again. And Star Whores...I mean Wars..... And Superman (do your own rhyme there)...

What's so awful about movies based on something else? Some of my favorite films are adaptations of novels or TV shows, and video game adaptations are improving dramatically--the problem is the lack of serious regard for video games to begin with, not the process of transitioning them to film. I've enjoyed a lot of sequels and remakes, too.

Why would I turn up my nose at a film with a plot, special effects, actors, and setting reminiscent of one that I already know that I enjoy?

Everybody complains about originality and "Hollywood crap" whenever a sequel comes out that they don't like, particularly if it's a franchise that they don't care for. When it's something they're interested in, you won't hear that. The fact that billions of dollars are still being made on Hollywood films proves that people take no issue with the fare coming out of the film industry to this day--they simply hate seeing sequels to, or remakes of, films that they personally didn't care for to begin with.

Putting down the people who *do* like them is crude and unnecessary.

The 1936 The Wizard Of Oz remake was pretty good.
