*sigh*

Yeah.

Still, if they do end up making it you can go and mock it mercilessly.

ta_laitha February 11 2010, 21:15:43 UTC

Oh I will be mocking it. I have been since the stupid idea came up.

Hopefully this 'new and improved' idea will also fall by the wayside!

ta_laitha February 11 2010, 16:33:22 UTC

Just like the last three. I pray for it.

Of course, the whole "the effects aren't as good as they can do now" kind of thinking is what gets the crap going. "Escape from New York" isn't about "effects". I like it as it stands - one of the best dystopia movies ever made (along with the real "Blade Runner", not the theatre release with that damned lame ending). And no one other than Kurt Russell can be Snake. He owns the part.

I agree whole heartedly with everything you've said. EFNY is all about the ideas of people pushed to the edge. Effects aren't needed. Honestly, there isn't much room for effects in the movie.. no explosions or anything except the plane at the beginning.

leviathanmuse February 13 2010, 23:15:29 UTC

Exactly! I don't see what they feel needs to be "improved". The cassette tape? Who gives a flying fuck?!

ta_laitha February 13 2010, 23:19:45 UTC

Oh the cassette is so perfect.. who, that lived that age, did not feel a moment of wanting to strip and tear a tape like that? LOL
