Oh, how I wish that Hollywood would stop remaking films, in particular I really wish they had not announced a remake of Total Recall ( Read more... )

Indeed we have had this discussion before, in relation to Battle Royale IIRC.

Although I am disappointed that the Hoff isn't in the remake of Knight Rider; I must disagree that the Hoff made the show...the car KITT made the show IMO.

Afterall without a car, it couldn't be called Knight Rider could it? That and who would watch a show called 'Michael Kinght Walks Around (and solves a few problems)'? ;-p

i belive that it was both KITT and the Hoff that made that show- i refuse to entertani the idea of KITT working without Hoff!

I agree that KITT and the Hoff working together made the show a classic.

However, the show could have worked just with KITT (although obviously not as well) as the car could have solved half the road going problems, battled with it's nemesis KARR for a few episodes...obviously they wouldn't be very good episodes, but there'd still be a show.

Although the more I think of it, the more I am beginning to only slightly lean towards your point of them both making the show work...

...however the part of me who never grew up from the boy who watched it on TV keeps shouting on and on 'KITT! KITT!'...so I have to go with the nostalgia vote.

BSG is good, well I like it. The new Knight Rider is a bit cheesy but I found bits of it entertaining. As for remaking Total Recall, I am in agreement. I was outraged when they remade The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Oh and are you seriously saying that Stop or My Mom Will Shoot is a bad move, one of Stallone's finest I think you will find.

Agreed - SOMMWS is a superbly good film!

I apologise, SOMMWS was a poor choice on my behalf, I have since ammended the entry to reflect this poor error in judgement.

I'm baffled as to why studios are remaking films that are only 20 years old!

Actually I don't think Total Recall is even 20 years old, 1990 IIRC, yes pedantic I know quibbling over 1 year, but still I agree with you, why? What is the point?
