Manos The Hands of Fate. If somebody can take that and turn it into a passable movie, they deserve the world.
I watched that fully knowing it was supposed to be terrible. I was unprepared. I can only imagine aneurysms are more pleasant to endure. It’s only an hour-and-a-half or something, but it feels like five. Something to put on Sunday night when you know Monday is coming I suppose.
I took a screenwriting class in college. We had to write a paper on a horrible movie of our choice. I just searched worst movie ever made and Manos came up. Writing the paper was the easy part. It took me 4 tries to get through that movie in one go. I couldn’t do it. That’s how bad it is.
Honestly anyone who figures out how to market that will be rich beyond their wildest dreams.
I wanna be a producerrrr….
A Last Starfighter remake would rip if it was about how the erliens found a Fortnight kid and had ‘em tear up the intergalactic construction/dance/murder competition (wars are settled this way in space)

The upscale did Lisa a little dirty
Dear AI, please upscale this image, but also try to make tons of subtle changes that completely ruin the vibe. Do it in a way that makes it clear that you’ve been trained on lots of images from The Simpsons, but have no idea what the fuck is going on in any of them.
I want them to make good discworld movies.
The repeated failure to use Brian Blessed as Ridcully is a constant source of rage to me
The 2 color of magic movies were quite enjoyable
Theres 2 of them?
One for CoM, one for LF
I think they are categorized as mini series actually. I kinda think of them as movies because of the length
I actually enjoyed Hogfather but haven’t read the book.
That’s Dune for you.
I won’t stand for this slander of David Lynch and Kyle McLachlan.
I want something completely different… Pick up rejected movie ideas from the 1920s and 1930s and make them EXACTLY like they would have done back then.
I would be much happier if they threw out the fucking cat book.
Every movie now is predictable because they all follow the exact same structure. It annoys me when I can predict what the next scene is going to be. Genuine surprise is rare.

Alien is an interesting case study.
Dan O’Bannon wrote the screenplay for the movie Dark Star. It was not a great movie. He took his core concept, wrote a new version with less comedy and more horror and that became Alien.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I would love to see a modern version and one that’s got great effects.
Tbf that is the modern version. The old one from the BBC definitely suffered from lackluster effects.
That was part of its charm for me. Red Dwarf was the same; the lack of budget somehow made it funnier.
I do wish they would do one that follows the plot of the radio show. It would probably have to be a TV series though, it goes on a movie.
I think Douglas Adams thought it was funny that every iteration was a little different.
Well they DID make a TV series in 87 that is really fun and worth a watch that follows the radio show. I assume you knew this though and wanted an updated one.
But but but that’s not safe.
Rich movie producers don’t want any risks. Won’t someone think of their net worth??
Practice what you preach, OP
Or maybe they could come up with an original idea
Crazy talk I know
Instead of making another high action time travel movie they could make something more adventurous. Also don’t make it a silly family friendly movie. We need more serious adventure films that aren’t reboots.
depends how recent the movie/show is. but currently reboots of old movies are often terrible compared to the original.
Currently…?
There have been maybe maybe a dozen good remakes, ever.
