[QUOTE="takyris, post: 2215545, member: 5171"] I guess that if I work at it I can still maintain a healthy level of ire. If the Island people have owned to remaking Clonus, then I can be irate about them choosing to remake Clonus in particular. That wasn't a movie that I looked at and said "This would be an awesome movie if only the effects were better." It's certainly possible that they improved the story, the writing, and the social message, but it's also possible that magical fairies will cast a charming spell upon the film once Michael Bay is done with it, causing it to suddenly become a breathtaking cinematic delight. So, if I'm gonna hope for unlikely events, I might as well go with the magical fairy angle. If they are remaking Clonus but haven't admitted to it (the IMDB link looks to be user-added, not producer-added, but correct me if I'm wrong, so I still haven't seen proof that they've admitted to remaking Clonus), then I can be annoyed about them ripping off the ideas and not acknowledging it. Regardless of the level of quality of the original or the remake, ripping off an idea shows a lack of class. And if they are unintentionally remaking Clonus, having legitimately come up with the idea on their own without ever hearing of Clonus, then I can be irate on the level of Apu when Seymour Skinner talks about his idea to make a movie about cloning dinosaurs based on DNA extracted from insects encased in amber and calling the movie "Timmy and the Clonasaurus" -- if you're going to make a movie about clones, do yourself a favor and learn about other cloning movies that have already been done, so that you can write one that at least shows some semblance of not being the exact same movie as one done twenty-five years ago. Whew. No matter what happens, I can be irked about something. Reality has returned to normal. :) [/QUOTE]
