Me too! I don't think I'd like the remake especially if they did not cast Bruce Cambell.Originally Posted by R_of_G
Couldn't agree more. I'm not understanding the need to remake one's own film.
Bruce use to visit Michigan State University (where Sam went to school) during the film festival because they would play Evil Dead every year in the college theater. Got to meet him, just never got a picture with him.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
I sense another Girls Movie/Horror Night coming on! We also want to do Matango! and have mushroom dishes.

A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

Do like I do with Dune, just pretend that you already have the completed story and that there were no sequels made.
I agree, Evil Dead just would not be the same without Bruce Campbell.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Do like I do with Dune, just pretend that you already have the completed story and that there were no sequels made.Yes. I do the same with Dune. I can actually get quite passionate about the 5 trillion sequels and my beleif that the trilogy was just that, A TRILOGY.
Back on topic--I may be able to do that with the Lost Boys if curiousity doesn't kill me.

I'll give it a chance because it looks like they're having fun with it and not taking it seriously. The Lost Boys, while a fun film, wasn't the type of movie to preclude a sequel. On the contrary, Grampa's end comment led me to believe there'd be a sequel long before now.

This is what it says on wikipedia about it:
'David' (Kiefer Sutherland) is impaled on a pair of antlers but doesn't disintegrate like the other vampires. Despite what Max later says, he is not really supposed to be dead. This was intended to be picked up in a sequel, The Lost Girls, which was scripted but never made.
Scripts for this and other sequels have been circulating since the late 1980s, and the original film's director, Joel Schumacher, made several attempts at one during the 1990s.
Finally, over 20 years after the release of the original film, Lost Boys: The Tribe, was greenlighted. It will be a direct-to-video release on July 29, 2008. Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander will reprise their roles as the Frog Brothers. After some reshoots, Corey Haim will reprise the role of Sam Emerson.
The sequel started shooting in Vancouver in June, 2007. Earlier that year Warner Bros. revealed it would produce a number of straight-to-video sequels for its existing library of franchise-friendly films, including the Lost Boys sequel.
What other films do they want to make sequels for, and why on earth would you want to do straight-to-video one? That pretty much says it's just going to be crap. They should just leave well enough alone.Earlier that year Warner Bros. revealed it would produce a number of straight-to-video sequels for its existing library of franchise-friendly films, including the Lost Boys sequel

Here is my deep/useless thought of the day that came to me earlier.
In Star Wars, the first prophecy was that Anakin would be the one to bring balance to the force. Later, it was said that the prophecy was wrong since Anakin turned over to the dark side and all. Then, we are to believe that it was not Anakin Skywalker but Luke Skywalker that the prophecy was about the whole time right?
Well, here's my problem. Didn't Anakin/Darth Vader actually bring balance to the force in the end considering he was the one to destroy the Emperor afterall? I'm not arguing that Luke had no role in the process, I mean he was the last Jedi and all, but.....If Vader hadn't killed the Emperor in Return of the Jedi, Luke may have been defeated,...doing nothing to create balance at all.
Perhaps they were wrong about being wrong?

Or what does Balance mean? It would seem to me at the beginning there are 100's of Jedi Knights, but not that many Sith. Can Order survive without Chaos? Can Chaos survive without Order. Before Darth Vader killed the emporer it was 2 to 1 in the Sith favor. Could it be the Jedi were mistaken on what the prophecy ment?
And, since Darth Vader killed the emporer and died himself leaving one Jedi Knight left, couldn't that be considered Anakin fulfilling the prophecy by bringing balance to the force. Or since Luke finally broke thru to Anakin that Luke also brought balance to the force? Hmmmmmm
no one said Anakin had to be alive.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
I think that although yes, they did leave it open to sequel at the end...it's been 20 years. It's really not going to be fresh & new material, and the STV release makes me feel that it is going to be completely campy.
If a sequel had come out shortly after the original I could understand, but the Lost Boys has had too long to set itself up in the minds of the fans as a great, stand alone classic...they waited too damn long & I think it's going to suck.

I just watched H2G2 and was pleasantly surprised. It won't be The Hitchhiker's Guide in my mind-fondly remembering the five-part trilogy and the BBC TV series-but I liked it nevertheless. The song and dance number at the beginning was great.
What's with all these pointless sequels? First Donnie Darko, and now The Lost Boys?
Off - topic - What part of California, Ves?
They're making a sequel to DD?
Yes - you can join a petition against it on Facebook
See, that's the one that bothers me. That movie is completely inappropriate for a sequel.What's with all these pointless sequels? First Donnie Darko, and now The Lost Boys?

Man, I just finished watching Natural Born Killers and it's been years since I last saw it. I forgot what a fucking train wreck that movie was.
Why didn't you like it?
No, I do like it! It's just such a downward/upward spiral the entire time.
Ah , sorry, the train wreck analogy threw me off a little
and what about its siter movie pulp fiction?
I saw The Incredible Hulk tonight and realllly enjoyed it. Fucking intense!
Keep in mind this is coming with absolutely no previous Hulk knowledge, so I guess just for sheer entertainment's sake, I really liked it.
Oh, and Edward Norton is such a badass.
My daughter took me to see The Happening yesterday. I was set to be disappointed--all the newspaper reviews I read said it was a real stinker--but both she and I REALLY enjoyed it. It brought back thoughts of King's Cell.
John
saw it with my husband sunday night and really liked it. and i really like edward norton as well, i was just talking about him with ves'ka gan.Spoiler:my new phrase.
