IMO, that black finish is horrifically ugly for what are probably amazing sounding speakers

Clooney's no Sinatra, but I thought he (and the rest of the cast) did a fine job...only person I couldn't stand was Julia Roberts, but then again, I can't think of a movie I actually like her in.

I think the reason this remake worked is because I think the script was actually better,and better worked out than the original.The first one glided by on mega-watt personalities only.

A remake of "Plan 9 from Outer Space" or "Mars Needs Women" would be fun.

There was a TV miniseries of The Martian Chronicles back in the 80s, that was only so-so. But there's a built-in audience of Ray Bradbury fans, and with an intelligent script that's true to Bradbury's vision, and with up-to-date FX, a movie could be a winner.

I agree, the cherry is much nicer.

Vacant.
Void.
Devoid.

I have a great idea. Write something new. Produce it with old style values.
TRY to come up with some actors with the subtlety of Fonda or Bogart or Stewart or Peck. Stop pissing all over the legacy of classics by remaking them with trite, special effects-driven scripts.

The sequels to "Planet of the Apes" got progressively worse,
but they were MASTERPIECES compared to the remake of the original.
What a convoluted pile of vomit.

The reason "The Birds" remake would be atrocicious:
The suspense in the film is based on the silence and the acting.
The INTERLUDES are what build the mood.
Your proposed version would center on a huge flock of digital birds.
I'm not scared of digital birds, but I'm scared they will remake the movie.

And that King Kong remake was pretty good, by current Hollywood standards, which is to say, Hollywood is fine with putting out lots of crap if it makes lots of moolah.

Ahh yes...... hollywood doesn't believe the audience has the patience to sit through pregnant pauses anymore. Try watching the original The Exorcist again. It's a slow movie at first, and builds slowly, by the effect is totally gripping. You won't see horror like that much anymore......if at all.
