I don't mind the idea of remakes/reboots in general, but I do wish the studios would keep this thought in mind when doing so.

Although the flip side of this, I wish George Lucas had remade episodes 4-6 to match the prequels instead of making the SE changes to the originals.

Clive Owen worked as a croupier? Well if he was good at it, maybe he should have stuck with it and left the acting thing alone.

I like Clive Owen, I think he's decent. Now Adrian Brody is a different story. No matter what movie I see him in I can't help but just stare at his huge nose. It takes up more screen room than he does.

Please.

It will leave more you for me. I like going to movies with only a half dozen people in the theater.
There's plenty of me for you already!

Seeing how I have to get totally doped up on Dramamine to stomach a 3D movie, I'm only going to see one were use of the technology wasn't an afterthought.

For an "event" movie filmed in 3D like Avatar and Tron: Legacy, I'll happily break out the meds, but not for Mr. Popper's Penguins in 3D.

Now that I think of it, both of those movies make me question the risk I took of dealing with a bout motion sickness.

that's a personal bias...doesn't affect the film. Plus...he played a good Jew w/ his nose. I did like him in Splice though...well honestly I've only seen him in 3 movies now that I think about it. Splice, The Pianist, and well...that movie about being in Paris at night. I don't want to spoil that film by mentioning it, fucking loved it.

It sucks that they don't give you an option of seeing color movies in black and white either. Mono sound would be nice too- that sound coming from the back is too distracting. I'd like them to edit out all the objectionable material too so I won't be offended.

And I hate when theaters play any movie only on one screen. God didn't make theaters with multiple screens so they could show different movies on them.
