all this from the joker who barely had a supporting role in the awful "Cheaper By The Dozen."
here's what pretty boy Tom Welling had to say in the new issue of 'Entertainment Weekly'
Welling belongs on the small screen where the Whedon fans of the world can enjoy him (for whatever reason. I don't see the appeal, he's a dime a dozen these days.)
I can take him or leave him. But damn!

I'd at least give it the benefit of a doubt before writting it off.

I think he should keep his blandness out of material he obviously doesn't respect. He's turning into the Halle Berry of horror.

Dunno if this was mentioned but Latino review had a look at the script for the remake:

and I didn't like this bit either:
Just what we need more of, needLESS CGI.

and I didn't like this bit either:
Oh yeah, this being a horror remake, they have more money for effects and this fog is a lot more gruesome and aggressive. This Fog will be gorier. At least that is how it read. It takes many shapes and forms kind of like the liquid Terminator. It can do whatever it wants.

So since I love the original, I guess that makes me unsophisticated....
all this from the joker who barely had a supporting role in the awful "Cheaper By The Dozen." I guess that was for sophisticated audiences as well, eh Tom?

Well, I for one am sick of unoriginality. Whatever happened to original filmmakers like John Carptenter. Everything now is a sequel or a remake.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off for a Carpenter film festival featuring:
Assault on Precinct 13
The Thing
Village of the Damned
Escape from LA
Ghosts of Mars

note how they've (the movie, not the article) somehow managed to mix up the character's names....

Looks like the emphasis is on quite a bit more straight horror than Carpenter's version; either that or just a great trailer for a crap movie...

I hear they explain more in this one but I think it has a tough act to follow. Teens will probably go flock to see it though. You think there are those who dont even know this is a remake?

Since when did Joss Wheden have anything to do with Tom Welling? I don't remember him having anything to do with Smallville. Did he?
P.S. I have to agree. People are kind of flaky. So many think all these new movies nowadays are original ideas. I even had some Best Buy zombie who worked in the DVD section mind you insisting that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake was the first and only movie in the series. This was around the time the 74 DVD came out and when the remake was playing theatrically. I suppose he was living under a rock.
Horror movies that I have heard were the first in their series.
Freddy vs Jason (The ultimate in stupidity. I am sorry, I dont mean to sound mean, but this is just really stupid. Two series known for sequels. One has to really be in the clouds to think this was the first movie with these characters).
The Texas Chainsaw Remake
Dawn of the Dead
Halloween: Ressurection (How horrible that would be if true)
