The both of them were spoken of fondly though from what I remember. And I still technically like the idea of Jackie in the role. But yeah, Sam admits that when it all came together, it was just crap. I didn't get to hear the whole interview, but his tone seemed like he just did it for the money, he wasn't even familiar with the genre, so it was a paycheck picture.

BTW, how do you know the remake is generic if it was so unmemorable? Blind h8r It was so forgettable due to how damn generic it was. Makes sense to me. Freddy's Dead blows the remake out of the water in terms of entertainment value.

who was the not dreamazombie-r that voted new nightmare? join us! I need to change my vote. I just watched New Nightmare again, and it's pretty great. Put Dokken on the soundtrack, and we have gold!

Not sure what compelled you all to see the remake at all. I just operate under a few assumptions: it's probably terrible, Jason was probably smoking crack when he watched it and there are probably a lot more productive ways to spend an hour and a half. I don't have time to let Platiinum Dunes take a dump in my mouth and try to pretend it's okay.

Because I still liked their Amittyville Horror and Friday the 13th Remakes enough to give their Nightmare remake a chance opening weekend. I have not seen it since that opening weekend

TCM pissed me off enough to never want to watch a PD movie again. And then I saw The Hitcher.

Impostors. Even Ermey and scantily clad Biel and Brewster couldn't make those movies good.
