I must be getting old. I remember when Total Recall was in theatres. I just saw a trailer for "Total Recall". They're making a remake? Seriously? Can't you guys wait until I'm like 50 so I don't feel like you're just tryin to milk another franchise?

To me, 80's action movies (Arnold, Sylvester, Van Dam, Norris, etc) were the pinnacle of action movies. Everything about them screamed testerone; over the top action sequences, 1 guy dominating a group of 10 people at once, cheesy but awesome one liners, etc.
I love 80's actions movies. Remaking them loses their magic to me.

While I won't try to pretend that the Arnold version was full of great character development or deep, interesting plot lines, I have to agree with Karter on this one. There' something absurdly and uniquely fun about action films of the late 70s and 80s.
I just happened to see a commercial for the new film (I'm at a hotel, and stuck with just live TV) and I just wasn't impressed. Looked like a bunch of CG action sequences and maybe a couple of suggestive partial-tit shots, and nothing more. No cheesy one-liners that you can repeat over and over, no cartoon mayhem, nothing much at all but a bunch of pretty renderings.

Cheesy one liners and 80's action flicks (especially ones staring Arnold) are awesome. That's such a huge part of my childhood. I can't tell you how many times I've seen ET or the chucky movies...freakin Silver spoons, who's the boss?, so much stupid waste of my life watching tv for shows that are just a page of history now.
+1 for anybody who knows who the main character of "my secret identity" was.

Yeah, how many batman movies do we need? I remember when Michael Keaton was batman. I think it was Michael Keaton...it's been a while. It doesn't matter. Seems like they need to remake a movie for every generation I guess...sounds like Joanie loves Cha-chi to me. (milkin the franchise)
