The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

Those CGI Dwarfs are nightmare fuel for sure.
Hard to say who did more damage to that movie, Rachel Zigler or Peter Dinklage.
Maybe a little hard to believe but this has been going on since 2022.
Looks like they've cut "I'm wishing", "Someday my Prince will come" (SW's signature song), and "One Song" (the Prince's song), and cut down "The Silly Song" to just the Yodeling. Which is like half the original soundtrack.
Well, of course they have! Can't be advocating as shills for the "patriarchy", now, can they? 
I remember that... it was part of the "outsiders from hell" trend that also included "Fatal Attraction", "Unlawful Entry", and "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle".
Longer. Disney's made remaking their past work a thing for a good part of this century. The "strong women, useless men" trope that infects a lot of their work has been a going on for at least 10 years.
All the more reason to watch the original and give the remake a hard pass.
There's a happy medium between "damsel in distress" and "empower womxn by making men pathetic". Several Renissance movies managed this quite well. At the end of "The Little Mermaid" (the original), Ariel and Eric save each other's lives and fight Ursula side by side. The remake can't handle that, so it makes Eric pretty much useless and Ariel has to save the day over and over.Well, of course they have! Can't be advocating as shills for the "patriarchy", now, can they?
That was one of many things that made the remake inferior... ironically, Ariel's race was about the only change I liked.
In any case, TLM barely broke even, Pinnochio flopped, but on Disney goes spewing out these remakes... they're like the Titanic, happily ignoring ice warnings. Maybe this is their iceberg.
I'm talking about this specific movie, this slow motion car crash.
Well, they're in full damage control mode now. It's no longer a question of will they lose money, but how much.
They're not even doing a full Hollywood red carpet premiere, and my guess is they want less attention focused on it in case it bombs.
A lot people going to see it?
To see if it was as bad as the hype, maybe.
Hope the kids stay away, though. Those CGI dwarf abominations make Freddy Krueger look cuddly.
You mean the "Seven Magical Creatures of all Sizes, Races and Genders"?
Doesn't really roll of the tongue...
Doesn't really roll of the tongue...
Without PLAY MISTY FOR ME, would there even have been a FATAL ATTRACTION? Perhaps yes, if we take that Dennis Weaver TV-movie with the hippies-from-hell into account, yet.......
Allegedly, those were always different forest bandit characters who would have hung out with the Love Interest, not Snow White. Also, he might not be a prince but a Robin hood type?
Okay, I am SO here for this, as the kids probably don’t say anymore

New ‘Starship Troopers’ Movie in the Works from ‘District 9’ Filmmaker Neill Blomkamp (Exclusive)
Sony is behind the new adaptation, which is not a remake of Paul Verhoeven’s 1997 film, but rather will go back to the 1959 novel as source material.

That was their original plan, and it was then scrapped and replaced by bizarre CGI versions of the dwarfs. I would have preferred the magical creatures.
