Burton's "Planet of the Ape" was wrong for a number of reasons it was too much of Peta save the animals message which has nothing to do with the original story. The other big mistake was having the humans speak- this takes away a lot of the disturbing power of the premise.
-
"Signs" and "Unbreakable" have some effective moments. "The Village" is good until the preposterous twist ending. " The Happening" is just a silly premise that goes no where. "Lady in the Water" is a truly unwatchable disaster not actually its one of those cinematic disaster that you can't believe someone actually made.

Ripley could not be in the prequel.

Strange poster you have that lovely image of Lucille Ball ( which looks like something from "Zigfield Follies") and the rest of the cast are these cute cartoon people.

The remakes was a major disaster but I imagine Fox would love to revive the franchise.

Let's Go Mets!

A spectacular poster !

The last movie version was close to perfect.

"Satyricon" had all types of sexual behavior including a poor hermaphrodite.

This was a really silly case - I mean there is a big difference between Fellini's movie and a gay porn movie ( but I would have thought "8 1/2" was a better gay porn title...)

Interesting- you gave me a good reason to watch this sci-fi movie classic one more time.

I totally agree- one can state an opinion with out getting personal or nasty or both.

The vorlons?

Is the name of a very funny book by Edward Marguiles and Stephen Rebello which collects their Movieline magazine guide to great trash cinema- and we are not talking Ed Wood here but cinematic disasters from major TCM favorites.

Godzilla is obviously the hardest working monster in show business- love to see a remake of "King Kong vs Godzilla"
-
Good idea but those TCM watcher who hate modern movies would have a heart attack.

The point of the thread IMHO was to discuss how coming out as gay man or woman would affect that actors career.

"Six Days Seven Nights" bombed because Ford and Heche had zero romantic chemistry likewise the Madonna - Everett team failed at the box office but " The Object of My Affection" which has a similar straight woman - gay man pseudo romance was more successful but in that film the gay character was played by straight Paul Rudd.

The public still will not accept an out gay actor in romantic leading role. They will seem him in character role like Sir Ian or a comic side kick like Ruper Everet ( who was bitching about his career as a leading man was ruined because he came out too soon)

I did not mean to be anti-Christian. But just responding to how some otherwise intelligent people miss the point of this thread...one can be religious and tolerant or religious and a bigot- it bothers me when people use the I'm- only- following- my- religion-excuse to spout their own prejudice. But back to the actual subject- audiences might be more sophisticated now but they are still buying a fantasy when it comes to their movie stars.

I don't think Hitchcock intended the audience to enjoy Marion's murder- one can still admire his skill at staging it.

I saw her on Good Morning America and she looks fabulous. I don't know if it's a combination of superior genes, healthy living or/and good plastic surgery.

Thank God for Christians and Conservative the most tolerant people of earth....

Good point- the computer animated films are perfect for 3 - D. The images already have a 3 - D quality.
