    - I'm looking forward to the Despicable Me remake -- nm - Beryllium Jul 11, 10:38 4
      - Live-Action Despicable Me - Reagen Jul 11, 10:40 3
        
        Sounds like Batman with the Penguin. -- nm - Max Jul 11, 10:42 1
        
        the one where the bad guy was named Max? Max Shreck? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 11, 10:45
        
        Yes. It would be glorious. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 11, 10:41
- I'm more suprised the original was only an 83. - Will Hunting Jul 11, 10:30
- Maybe people see it as the remake for Psycho. Just because it’s the same doesn’t mean it’s good. Sprinkle in a dash of ‘why do we need this?’..... - Volnelk Jul 11, 10:29 6
  - People harshed on TS 4 for being pointless and it's at least a new story. -- nm* - Reagen Jul 11, 10:46 1
    - Is it? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 11, 10:53
  - Yeah, the Vince Vaughn Psycho comparison is exactly what I was thinking about as a comp. Plus, who's to say that the medium doesn't matter? - Name Withheld By Request Jul 11, 10:38 3
    - Marshall McLuhan? - Beryllium Jul 11, 10:40
    - Maybe it does. David Ehrlich, which is someone I like to read, one of the few even, goes a bit through that road. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 11, 10:39
    - Uncanny Valley is a thing. -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 10:39
- seems to be more the "Disney unneeded money grab" than the "racist" angle at least -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 10:28 6
  - I agree with this, and the fact that they are cranking them out too quickly. -- nm - sycor Jul 11, 10:50 1
    - It is a bit surprising they are releasing it so close to Aladdin -- nm - oblique Jul 11, 10:55
  - Yeah, but that's not judging it at face value. - Marlowe Jul 11, 10:38 3
    - Aren't you a "why do we need all these super hero movies" guy? -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 10:42 2
      - Nope, I never said that. I dislike a lot of them, sure, but feel free to see that I - Marlowe Jul 11, 10:47
      - uh huh -- nm - groiny Jul 11, 10:45
"Joyless, artless, and maybe soulless, it transforms one of the most striking titles from the Mouse House vault into a very expensive..." (IM) - MDH Jul 11, 10:10
