NFT: Paramount to remake Planes Trains and Automobiles

are capable of disliking something or not being enthusiastic about something without being angry or outraged about it.

No idea why a 2020 thing is for any time someone isn't a fan of something or doesn't love it they are considered angry or outraged.

I don't feel like remaking Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a great idea. I am neither angry they plan to do it nor am I outraged about it. Yet I still don't think it's a good idea.

this concept used to exist freely in the process of normal discourse, people should try and bring back those days, not for nostalgia, but for the survival of a civil society.

Get off my lawn?

It exists, you just have people that abuse it, and people that are tired of it being abused. Its also the internet, nuance is lost, complaints look magnified. That's 2020 for you, and it won't get any better.

I will say that when it comes to BBI there's a select group of posters I disagree with but am able to have a productive, adult conversation with. And then there's the other group that absolutely sucks ass to converse with, provides nothing in their criticisms where I genuinely do think they complain just to complain.

seems like my hyperbole than anything. But his point remains and its one I made mention of earlier. Making a sequel or remake doesn't take anything away from the original work. You are still allowed to watch them whenever you want.

that has nothing to do with it. You are both creating straw men.

No one said you can't still watch the original. No one said it takes anything away from the original. But it still doesn't mean you have to think it's a good idea.

When I see Karate Kid on the channel guide and I check the year and see it's the Jaden Smith version and not the Ralph Macchio one I'm a little bit sad that if I don't find anything better I can't watch Johnny and the Cobra Kai torment Daniel Larusso like I am used to.

When I see Total Recall on the guide, and see it's the Colin Farrell version, same feeling.

I am not outraged, I am not angry I prefer the originals in these cases.

And it could be a generational thing, I will allow for that.

I prefer the Deniro/Nolte Cape Fear, the ensemble Ocean's 11 with Clooney, Pitt, Garcia, Roberts, etc., so it's not all remakes, but some can benefit from modernization, I don't see how this one can.

I agree with this. And we do same thing when it comes down to movies. Funny, Cape Fear is one of those movies. except for the Karate Kid. Don't think I ever so the whole movie..

Well then clearly you’re not the type of person I’m referring to in my post.

Don't know what to tell you man. You took his comment very literally, that's all I pointed out.

Myself, I will stick with my above comment. Certain posters can not like something and articulate just that, and a conversation can be had. Others whine about everything and provide no actual reason for their distain.

No I don't think anyone is angry at this remake. I do find some of the other thoughts on here questionable, but no sense in rehashing them.

anything. No one asked you to.

RicFlair responded for himself.

I typed that while he responded and didn't see it until after I submitted. A thousand apologies.
