I'd love to see a remake of Jaws (!)
with actors in the lead roles that aren't as good as the three 'R's and a CGI shark that, whilst technically well rendered, completely lacks the simple charm of a rubber model mounted on a gimble.

Oh, and a new sub plot involving pollution and how that has made the shark extra big and hungry.

And more children eaten in the name of blockbuster entertainment.

I can always go for the 3rd one

The best thing about that film
was that they didn't even have a shark until nearly the end of the shoot so Speilberg was forced to use his brain and pretend to be a good director. You want to know what would have happened if he had all the special effects he wanted? Indiana Jones 4, that's what.

THERE IS NO FOURTH INDIANA JONES FILM

It's much maligned, that shark.
But I think it holds up reasonably well and is quite effective, more so for being used sparingly. And it's still one of my favourite films ever.

I haven't seen Indy 4 yet.

Yup, the shark is fine, if anything it adds to the scaryness
the bit where Robert Shaw gets chopmed shits me up every time

Don't get me wrong
I like the shark, but the shark is that much scarier for only appearing at the end.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 10 May 2010, 15:24, Reply)

Damnit, I'd just about forgotten that.
Now I have to think about it and the massive disappointment again.

With this statement you've somewhat scraped a modicum of my respect for you back
After your ELOG-liking fiasco.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 10 May 2010, 15:23, Reply)

I don't liek it because its good in anyway,
It's mindless entertainment I can veg out to when I can't be bothered watching a proper film. Like the Mummy.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Mon 10 May 2010, 15:25, Reply)

I enjoyed The Mummy
Except it was then pointed out to me that I look a little like Brendan Frasier.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 10 May 2010, 15:26, Reply)

Hi Brendan.
Yeah, and Wookie looks like Ade Edmondson.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Mon 10 May 2010, 15:28, Reply)

Yes he does!
Although smaller.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 10 May 2010, 15:28, Reply)

But Brendan Fraser is all rugged and fit in the Mummy.
I fail to see the problem here.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Mon 10 May 2010, 15:36, Reply)

He is?
In one slight way you've just complimented me, so that's all I'm going to focus on. Thanks!

he's totally hot in George of the Jungle

Eh, he still looks like a public school boy to me
I did have one pic where I look scarily like him, just after I had my dreads cut off.

Nope
Besides, it was taken over 5 years ago.

He looks like my old chum Jethro,
and therefore, so do you.

Anytime.
Very rugged and manly, with the guns, and the fighting and the tight trousers...

What were we talking about again?
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Mon 10 May 2010, 15:49, Reply)

I don't think I look rugged and manly
Although I haven't shaved in a while, and am slightly sweaty from wrestling alligators.

Do watch out for stingrays, won't you?

I make no promises

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 10 May 2010, 16:01, Reply)

The mummy returns is the shittest film I'll watch again and again.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 10 May 2010, 15:27, Reply)

Likewise
I'll forgive a film an awful lot if it gives me a chance to ogle Rachel Weisz.
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 10 May 2010, 15:31, Reply)

Meh, she's nothing special,
the best thing about that film is the line:
"by putting that bracelett on you've started a chain of events that could bring about the next apocalypse"
(PsychoChomp, Mon 10 May 2010, 15:32, Reply)

That is delightfully daft
Either that, or a very cleverly thought out piece of causality, in a similar vein to the board game Mouse Trap, except for the fact it culminates in the end of the world, as opposed to a cheap plastic cage falling on a plastic mouse. But that's less likely.
