Paranormal Activity here - on mute. Apparently even worse than Blair Witch.

Haven't seen it yet, but the 'new' A-Team movie is on Channel 4 tonight at 9pm!

Realism & plausibility were right out, but I can just about live with that - suspension of disbelief is an essential skill for most US TV/film anyway ...

But - at no point did anyone emerge from a Jeep (that had been subject to a hail of gunfire, flipping end over end several times and exploding) going "ooh, my head!", and at no point did the team get locked in an implausibly well-stocked shed by the bad guys and build a tank out of handy materials without them suspecting anything - IIRC that happened every week in the TV series

LOL @ JR - they used the same clip of the same jeep crashing in several episodes! It was obviously an expensive stunt that they wanted to get their money's worth from.

How could I forget the original Italian Job! (not the remake that was not even in Italy)
It seems re-re's are not popular - Can anyone think of a remake film that has "cut the mustard"??

Off the top of my head ...

- Star Trek II (still a poor film, but odd numbered Star Trek films are crap - it's an immutable law of nature)

- Empire Strikes Back was better than Star Wars (Yoda, whole downbeat/downhill feel of the whole thing, less involvement from George Lucas )

- Return of Jedi was better still (Carrie Fisher metal bikini - rrrgggrrelllle )



... I'm sure I can some up with some examples that aren't cheesy sci-fi movies

How about "Galaxy Quest".... never give up, never surrender! Sigourney Weaver has never looked so fine!!! Giddyup!

I second that. Space clothing fits her well.

I watched a BBC documentary on the nature of reality yesterday...
Combined with an earlier episode of "Through The Wormhole" I ask this question :

What if we're all a holographic projection of the information on the event horizon at the edge of our universe?

Have you seen the film Event Horizon?... nasty!

Can't say I have (but just read wiki)... the concept of a black hole definitely lends itself for horror.
Within a singularity anything can happen!

Yeah, "Black Hole" was a bit of a horror film, it was terrible! (I still like it though...)
