I don't know why saying nostalgic motherf**ker would be insulting. I'll admit freely to being one with certain films. SC661 obviously got the joke. ;D I think our real mistake was that in pointing out what we thought was superior in the new film, we also dogged what we felt was inferior in the original. I guess we have to limit the way we share our opinions. If we don't then real insults happen. Like a person stating they don't mind differing opinions and then proving that statement false by claiming with repeated viewings the person or people with differing opinions will change their views. That is a passive aggressive way for them to say they think that persons opinion is wrong. Which is insulting to me. It's okay to disagree with another persons opinion. It's inappropriate to say their opinion is wrong. Even if it's said in a passive aggressive way. So in the future I'll share my opinion. But I'll try to do so in a way that doesn't belittle another film. I guess that's a no no. ;D
SC661 I think Jamie King's performance is one of the best things about the film. She reminds me of Lindsay Lohan a little. Well Lindsay Lohan if she had a little more talent. ;D I liked her in My Bloody Valentine 3D. But I think she stole the show with her performance in this film. I mean it was her acting that made me care that her characters father died. She's a very talented actress, who I hope gets more mainstream roles. She's more than talented enough to be a bigger star than she currently is. Of course I also hope that if she does become a bigger star in Hollywood she doesn't belittle her earlier work in horror. I hate when actors and actresses do that. Horror deserves more respect than that.

I wasn't insulted by the comment at all I actually thought it was funny. When I spend my hard earned money on a movie I feel didn't to the original any justice I have the right to bitch and complain about it.

I think it was a stupid comment that you made saying I'm acting like I'm being personally attacked for preferring the original. That is absolutely ridiculous! I think its a great thing when people have different tastes and it doesn't matter to me who likes the original more or who thinks the remake is better. I'm trying to contribute to a thread someone started by stating my opinion that's all. I just read all the posts back and tried to read them from a more lighthearted perspective. As if you were not making a #nono# face while writing it. I can see now how you may have just simply been adding to the topic with your perspective. However I think both Kyle and I took your posts the same way at first read. Especially following what we wrote. As well as your implications that my praising the movie was extremely deceiving to reality and you, when making your decision to purchase it. Followed by what Kyle pointed out, saying our opinion are flawed and will change once the thrill of seeing this for the first time is over. Unfortunately as pompous as it sounds I am correct when i said the 84 version would not hold up in 2012. If you played that in a theater today it would be laughed at starting with Billy's "work montage". It would not play well with today's audience from that point on. Most 80's movies wont. Things are usually done better today when a low budget bad acted movie is remade with some decent money. So me saying you gotta be a nostalgic m****er to like the 84 above the 2012 film, was just saying what I stated just now. It wasn't meant to be derogatory. So this disagreement here I dont think anyone is too blame. Your posts initially came off very angry and defensive. With text it's always hard to tell. Within the post you did make the implications Kyle mentioned above this post. So I hope we can all just see this as a bit of a misunderstanding or over reaction whether it be responding to what we said or responding to your posts. It's really nothing to get angry over.

I didn't realize I have to word everything perfectly. Kyle you took that comment absolutley wrong when I said I think you guys will change your opinion of the remake down the line when you've watched it a few times. If you don't that's fine its not like I'm going to beat you up or something. For example when I was younger I thought TCM 2 was a good movie but as I've got older and watched it a few more times my opinion changed and I like it way more now. Things are being blown way out of proportion and I'm annoyed. What's up with referring to me as this person?! Address me by my name.

Alright Stinger, my last post was directed at you. I was making a point without saying your name. So you could get the point I was making without a direct confrontation. So as to not cause a fight. I was just pointing out the lesser offense you made in this thread. Truthfully the whole Demon and I will change our opinions and your facetious claim that you didn't mind differing opinions thing didn't bother me even an eighth as much as the bullshit you pulled earlier in the thread. If you want me to be direct then I will be. You made this post earlier. I thought this was a good movie with some great kills. I didn't really care for the female lead. Whenever people died I could care less because I didn't find anyone likable. Pretty good ending. For those who haven't seen it I'd wait for the price to go down. I honestly don't think it was worth $15. Don't get mad guys its just my opinion and I respect yours. I'm off to watch the original to compare the two. Remake had some great kills but I'll be a nostalgic motherf**ker original is far superior! ;D Then once I agreed it was cool to have a different opinion by saying it was alright to be a nostalgic motherfucker because plenty of other people in horror fandom were, you obviously got a bug up your ass and posted this. The more I think about this remake I'm actually becoming pissed off. I was getting excited about the praise and thought this was going to be an awesome direct to DVD horror movie. By the end I was just scratching my head in disbelief and thinking WTF. I'm really let down and disappointed with it. They didn't even do the god dam sled scene in this which was classic in the original. The original was done in the 80's so I think it should be cut a little slack. The lady that played Mother Superior was a bitch but she played the part well. The guy that played the older Billy wasn't the best actor but I did feel bad for him and was actually sad when he died. The kids that played younger Billy were great. Hell, every damn thing about the original is better han the remake. I think you guys will change your opinion of the remake down the line when you've watched it a few times. It did have some great kills but other than that it was utter crap. I will give it a two out of five. Wow. If that opinion isn't almost a 180 degree shift. I wonder what could have caused such a change? Oh right, you feeling insulted. Because apparently my joking that it was o.k. to be a nostalgic motherfucker was too much for you. Or maybe it was the pointing out all the faults of the original plus agreeing you are a nostalgic motherfucker that made you change your tune? I did a nice thing by claiming maybe I'd gone too far in what I said about the original and pointed out that you weren't personally being attacked. Or maybe it would have been better if I'd said your opinion wasn't personally being attacked. Then you have the unmitigated gall to claim my comment was "stupid". It wasn't stupid. It was right on the dot. Just look at the 2 posts. The only thing between them was my joke and Demon posting a laughing gif because apparently he is capable of understanding what a joke is. I don't believe for a second you changed your opinion that fast for any reason other than your feeling slighted in some way. Claiming otherwise is you being two faced. I'm usually a live and let live kind of guy. I don't mind others having different opinions. I don't usually get upset at insults. But when those insults are directed at me even after I am nice enough to try and calm a situation down, I rightfully get pissed. I wont be reading or responding to this thread anymore. I've said all I plan to say and could care less what you might want to say in response.

I watched the remake posted the comment went and watched the original modified my post then went to bed. After I slept on it I realized how much more I enjoyed the original then the remake then went on a rant. That's all it was. I don't give a fuck if you think I'm being fake or don't want to read what I have to say. You're acting like a baby and that is all I have to say in this thread period.
