Aaaaah, yet ANOTHER one of those "One Post Wonders" here, EH?!
And, don't ya just "LOVE" how THIS guy expressed his little "complaint" here TOO?!
(...yeah, "Patriots"...gimme a freakin' break here...yeah, I'll bet this guy now ALSO probably thinks "TCM doesn't love America anymore"...GOD I'm so damn tired of people like this guy, and now sure as hell HOPE that this WILL BE his one AND only post at this website)
It also makes me laugh when those "types" rail against liberals when the founding fathers were heavily influenced by John Locke and the US is pretty much the standard liberal democracy for the world.

Lucille Ball was very far left too and Paul Robeson was an outright tankie. Anderson Cooper isn't even very far left compared to some of those golden era actors.

Internet April Fool's is a very tricky art-form, since it has to be im-plausible enough to get the joke without going dopey-viral as a "real" rumor for the next seven years, while being pointed and plausibly deadpan enough to be satirical--"Disney to do live-action/CGI remake of 'Chicken Little'", for example.
Another plausible one would be "Disney to do live action remake of a remake of an original Disney cartoon film."

So what do we call it when a new film attempts to revise history and "remake" an earlier story...but not tell it from the exact same point of view...?
African American actor-director Nate Parker says he reclaimed and repurposed THE BIRTH OF A NATION. His 2016 version stands in opposition to D.W. Griffith's 1915 version.
"The Rebirth of a Nation" from 2007 uses footage of the original giving it a whole new soundtrack and some added effects. The commentary is about the original film and the history of racism in the nation.

I just saw this list and thought I'd include it in this thread. It's from Rotten Tomatoes. It's their list of the 24 worst remakes, based on their "Tomato-Meter", which is tabulated via an averaging of critical appraisals. The "worst" were determined by the greatest discrepancy between the rating of the remake as compared to the original, or best known, films. Like all lists, they're subjective and don't really mean anything beyond entertainment.
- Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
- The Invasion (2007) - remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
- Get Carter (2000)
- The Women (2008)
- The Mummy (2017)
- Godzilla (1998)
- The Wicker Man (2006)
- The Stepfather (2009)
- The Jackal (1997) - remake of Day of the Jackal (1973)
- The Haunting (1999)
- House of Wax (2005)
- Down to Earth (2001)
- Halloween (2007)
- The Pink Panther (2006)
- Day of the Dead (2008)
- The Fog (2005)
- Mr. Deeds (2002)
- Arthur (2011)
- Swept Away (2002)
- Rollerball (2002)
- Pulse (2006)
- The Heartbreak Kid (2007)
- Ben-Hur (2016)
- Psycho (1998)
Most of those remakes were pretty "popular" with audiences too iirc. I still like the 90s Godzilla even if I admit it isn't the greatest film.

I already posted this in another thread but this one is influenced by the Sound of Music (obviously).

Anyone a fan of those fun Terence Hill / Bud Spencer movies?
Fun Fact: Bud Spencer is not the same actor as Mario Brega, who plays the hulking brute, Corporal Wallace in 'Good, Bad, & Ugly'
This is my favorite one.
I especially like the part where they make the prison warden "go for a swim" right into a slab of concrete.

It's a remake of 'Paint Your Wagon' with Clint now in the Lee Marvin slot and ...Matt Damon in Clint's old role!
And with an empty chair as the wagon.

Maybe women are just bland in general? Yeah, you heard me. I said it out loud. Heck, its not like no one else ever commented on this before. Can anyone here wrap their heads around this concept without their cranium exploding? Talk to any guy who has boffed a lot of babes (as I have) and you will find this notion fully validated. Women are often boring and generic; which is why it is so thrilling to a man to find one he truly loves and is intrigued by.
Well you certainly don't hold anything back...

One of my favorite feast scenes (and films) of all time.
Included are several examples of natives actually killing and preparing animals to eat.

I like that one. Makes me think of the suffering during the Great Depression. Good song.
