Love that idea Neo. Tom Hanks could play a role.
Javier Bardem might be good. Brenton Thwaites is hot and would make a good Jesus plus he's hot. Did I mention that? I wish I was a producer. My casting couch would be busy 24/7.

Far as sequels goes I agree most shouldn't be made. But the new Halloween is out now and Jamie Lee Curtis broke the glass ceiling in many respects. The current incarnation of the franchise smashed records. I can't say much for the other ones. I didn't see most of them either but I think I will see the new one. I like Jamie Lee Curtis. Always did.

OK fine fine fine! Since you guys keep asking me I'll tell you my original movie idea.

The year is 0. Jesus Christ is hanging minutes from death on the cross. A little boy runs over, prays some speaking in tongues shit and collects a vial of his blood. Flash forward to present day and the blood has been passed down in secret through the ages. Until finally it makes it's way to an evil bio lab where scientists are working feverishly to clone Jesus and bring him back from the land of the dead to start an apocalypse on the infidels. I call it Jesus 2.0: The Last of the Prophets. Pretty awesome idea huh?

Cool. Kinda similar to a Preacher subplot. The 30th something generation of Jesus' inbred offspring is slated to be the new messiah, so they clone him to make sure they have plenty of fodder to experiment with. Preacher has a power called Genesis that makes anyone bow to his spoken word, and they tried stealing it from him and putting it into the retarded Jesus offspring. That didn't turn out so well. Great show, talk about original. Trying to find God (who left his post) to kick his ass and put him back where he belongs...

Most Hollywood movies do suck ass, but that is by design. They are made to appeal to the masses, the common denominators, and in that, they do quite well. The primary goal is the highest roi, not making great art. There are no shortage of amazing movies, though, mostly low budget indie flicks. It difficult for movies to compete with the plethora of incredible TV nowadays. Most episodes of great shows (i.e. Saul, Westworld, Preacher, Atlanta, etc.) Are far better than anything Hollyweird can produce. It is a golden age of quality programming if one will sift through all the bullshit...

because we need a third remake of a movie about a tv series that hasn't been on the air for 30 years....
so these people, who are supposed to be "entertainers" can't think of anything original, they have to turn comic books into movies, and old tv series that no one has any desire to watch on tv....but for some reason idiots will go to a theatre to watch a movie about a tv series they won't watch at home.......¿

this is a page on IMDB listing planned remake movies for the next few years....this is just depressing.

Hollywood better be glad that their typical "customer" isn't more like me, or they would quickly find out that thinking people will not pay them to rehash old shit, and do it worse than the original.

I don't remember if we read this or someone said it in a class or something.

Take any story, be it book or movie, at the core it's only one of 12 stories. Pretty much anything is a remake.

I get what you are saying though. I was big into comic books so I like the movies.

We don't go to the movies much anyways. I did away with cable. We have an antenna for local channels, Amazon prime and Netflix for everything else.

Clearly the year is "minutes before A.D. aka zero" rather than zero if Jesus is still alive.

I didn't know the Preacher thing existed. I thought of it first fuckers. I really only watch Disney movies anyways these days. Maybe I'll make a kids movie.

Disney presents:
Uncle Scott and the Safe Injection Site.

Might work better as a short.

Make sure you kill uncle Scott in the first few seconds. All good kids movies start with tragedy... bambi's mom was killed pretty early on
