why must everything be a remake?

snake plissken

i heard they are going to remake escape from new york. i’ve always liked that movie as a campy 80s actioner. it’s fun and entertaining, something so many current movies have trouble accomplishing. it makes me wonder why they would want to remake a perfectly good movie, using today’s standards of crap storytelling and balls out special effects.

as i was reading the article, i started thinking, what would be so wrong with just making a movie about snake plissken’s back story? i’m talking about the stuff that the characters allude to in the movie. i think that it would make a great movie, except it would probably suck because no one would know how to write it and then you’d get this shitty prequel movie that is essentially the exact same movie as escape from new york.

call it escape from the anus, starring pastor t-bone as the badass action star. plot? he has to get out of the anus before he suffocates. i like it! it’s high concept.

    Also.. How about you write a prequel to Escape from the Anus. It could explain how our hero found himself suck in an anus.

    i don’t think anyone wants to know why he’s “suck” in an anus, and it would require 3-4 photos of ted playing with a shirt that i just don’t have.
