Remaking movies.
Having just watched the 1977 Shatner-fest 'Kingdom of the Spiders' via youtube, I reckon it's one of the few Movies (albeit a B movie) that really deserves a modern remake.
Given that there's always a vocal backlash against Hollywood remaking old flicks, are there any other movies you'd actually like to see remade today?
and if you haven't seen KotS, check it out - 70's cheesey horror, 5000+ live tarantulas being beaten up by Shatner and a cracking ending - what's not to love?

I went to see Star Trek yesterday
I'd rate it as good. Though it did have a Star Wars feel to it in a few places

and Chekov appeared to be played by that Meerkat from the Car Insurance ads.

He did seem to be better suited as Charlie Bartlett

He's actually American

/the actor, that is

well he had an american accent when I heard him being interviewed

(I helped save b3ta! Boris Johnson's Press Secretary, Sun 10 May 2009, 18:12, archived)
Maybe he was using acting.

(I helped save b3ta! Dr Preference AjcuiVd289, Sun 10 May 2009, 18:14, archived)
Maybe he has more than one nationality.
Or an accent foreign to his nationality. Or an American accent when he speaks English.

Who is he anyway?

Pretty much the exact plot (from what I gather) is cliche #5 on this list that's as old as the hills. So possibly.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sun 10 May 2009, 18:02, archived)
Yeah,
umpteen times. It's like they're deliberately set out to overdo every single cheesy cliche.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sun 10 May 2009, 17:59, archived)
I loathe cheesy seventies horror.
But I'd like to see a remake of Triumph of the Will, starring Declan Ganley.

I'd like the internet to know that I am going out for my tea in a minute.
I'd like to see the Taboo series remade, perhaps with Kay Parker playing a bit part as a nod to their history, the part being her cunt of course.

I reckon Peter Jackson would do a great remake of Moby Dick.
Actually, Moby Dick's great as it is, it's just the shoddy whale at the end that lets it down. It's just a piece of wood. It's crap.
