...is it possible to do a sort of Wicker Man (hilarious Nick Cage version) thing...

Forgive the derail, but they didn't, did they?  I must have missed that one.  Thank god.

I'm seeing the posts for the upcoming Arthur remake, and just know it'll be awfully bad compared to the original.

(Just thought how Michael Caine has been the victim of a number of remakes.  The Italian Job was probably better for not being a rehash of the original but a largely different film with just the name and mini-theme, but Alfie and Get Carter.  I suppose the Sleuth remake worked as well, but then it had Caine in it the second time round as well...  Ok, so ignore this totally unwarranted fixation on Cainesian remakes, especially as he had nothing to do with Arthur or The Wicker Man.  That objection aside, let's just see if Hollywood does anything with Zulu, The Man Who Would Be King or The Eagle Has Landed, eh? :) )

[/derail]
To continue slightly with your derailing...I f***ing hate how all we're getting these days for movies/TV/games are a bunch of sequels and remakes.

So much money is thrown at the entertainment industry, compared to 30-40 years ago, and we're pumping out twice as much garbage and reused nonsense.

Cause and effect, my friend. When you have to spend $250 million to make a "blockbuster" movie, nobody wants to take any risks.

What we need are Africanized honey bees. One of them still won't kill anything... but a couple hundred chasing the goblin ambush all over the map, stinging every part of their body, ignoring armor and raging all the way? Hell yes.

That didn't last long, huh? Shame, cause binary's cool. Anyway, an important message: I will be changing my names on every username based thing I use to ASCIt on/around 10/1. Consolidating, I guess you could say.
