It was slow, bloated and quite frankly sucked, but nostalgia ensures I will love that site forever.

Never had a problem with Photobucket. It's every other photo hosting site that sucks.

I was pretty iffy about this one until I actually saw the red band trailer. Looks pretty sick. Read that the director was shooting for an NC-17 Rating just so he knew he was going in the right direction. With some slight trims it's a Hard R bordering on the NC-17, so there's that. As for Hollywood capitalizing on the name? Well, it is produced by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell and Raimi hand picked the director to remake this. It at least has that going for it.

It actually being produced by Raimi is one of the things that had me reserved from the get-go. I haven't cared for most of the PG-13 shit flicks he has produced lately.

Considering Bruce Campbell has gone to bat for this hardcore, that put me at ease a bit. Especially since he's brutally honest about a lot of what he's done.

You aren't capable of watching more than one show, L?

Nope, not really. I put my eggs into one basket and hope for the best. Besides, AHS has been going on too long and I don't feel like playing catch up.

I prefer mine:

As someone who didn't particularly like the original (bring the hate), I'm looking forward to this one, actually. Since it  has a budget and seemingly decent actors this time, I think it'll have a chance.

And before someone comes at me with a knife, I do agree wholeheartedly that Bruce was the best thing to come out of the original.

Well, that and the tree rape. 

Never got into this. It had the misfortune of coming around at the same time as the Walking Dead. Made the decision to go with TWD. I regret nothing.

I'm L-Face. I've pretty much a member of FE off and on since it's inception and a lurker of it's earlier incarnation, "Whatever Tickles Your Fear." Along with De, I was a host of the FE Radio Podcast (R.I.P) and later a co-host when Shadow took the reigns.

Same issues I had with the Elm Street remake. Wasn't good, wasn't bad. It exists, but is ultimately forgettable. It didn't do anything to make itself stand out, which works against it. It could have easily had a different title and it would have been your run of the mill slasher flick.

If you hate remakes, odds are they get your attention and you watch them in order to hate them.  Personally, last remake I've watched from the past decade was Halloween.

The Friday the 13th remake was pretty decent (not amazing, but okay), though. Of course, it didn't really feel like a remake, so that's probably why.

Didn't really feel like a Friday the 13th film either.

Thing with this Evil Dead remake is, it actually looks enjoyable.

What are your qualms with it, Jasonz?

Enough remakes that it can't get my attention for that.
Evil Dead is not something that I found entertaining outside of the horror aspect (in other words, the humor side did virtually nothing for me).
Does the trailer look like an Evil Dead movie or a Platinum Dunes movie?

I'm sure I hate remakes more than you, but aside from that, I can see your point.

And to address your question, I'm not sure, as off the top of my head, I can't recite other movies done by Platinum Dunes.

If it's a remake of a New Line film, then it's likely a Platinum Dunes film.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), then?

God, talk about bad films...

I wanted to hate the Elm Street remake, but couldn't. That's not saying it's a good film by any stretch of the imagination. But it's not really terrible either. It's just......there.

That's assuming he'll be here at all.

I don't see why he won't, he sent me a message through another website in early January asking if I was "still alive". So I'm sure he'll find his way here.

I sent him a message on Deviant Art little less than an hour ago. So we shall soon see.

Actually, I think Halloween II (Rob Zombie) started out great, I thought. First 20 minutes in the hospital were quick-paced and enjoyable. Once we realized it was a dream, though, all love for the film went out the window.

I knew it was a dream sequence out of the gate and was just waiting for the reveal. But it just kept going and going. So I was pissed right out of the gate and it just got worse from there.

L, by saying that you're insulting bad fan films.  I'm pretty sure I tweeted while watching it that I had watched zero budget student films that looked better.

Dunno, I've seen quite a few bad fan films in my time and it looked very fitting of the comparison.

Looks like an Evil Dead movie to me.
