From Nerve.com:
"This is so retarded. They’re remaking Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, but now they’ve given the birds a reason why they’re attacking.
“In the original, the birds just showed up, and it was kind of like, why are the birds here? This time, there’s a reason why they’re here and (people) have had something to do with it. There’s an environmental slant to what could create nature fighting back.”
Which, of course, completely f**king lays waste to the genius of Hitchcock’s concept. I mean, not even The Birds II: Land’s End was dumb enough to give them a reason."
Oh and boring-ass Kate Beckinsale is in talks for a BARBARELLA remake, hacky Tony Scott is remaking THE WARRIORS and setting it in L.A.(!!), and of course there are more John Carpenter remakes: ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and HALLOWEEN. When does it end?

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
