I seem to recall the foiled killing scene at the gas station in the remake is very good, while the climatic swimming pool scene in the original is better

feedmyleg posted:but all the changes and tweaks means that you leave the original film feeling optimistic for Oskar with Eli, but in the remake you leave feeling horrified for Owen with Abby. It was a pretty awesome experience to essentially see the same movie twice, reach the ending, and come to the complete opposite conclusion. The remake really did a fantastic job of playing up the horror that is (and will be) their relationship and I think it worked just as well as the almost hopeful ending the original film had. And yeah the car crash scene was really good.

feedmyleg posted:Let Me In is such a fascinating remake because very clearly shows how changes that seem small on the surface can have such a massive impact, akin to Van Sant's Psycho. 90% of the film may as well be shot-for-shot, but all the changes and tweaks means that you leave the original film feeling optimistic for Oskar with Eli, but in the remake you leave feeling horrified for Owen with Abby. Wtf. I've only seen the original and I was horrified for their future.

The remake didn't have the terrible CGI cats or the bad dubbing over the main character.

Doctor Faustine posted:Yeah same. Maybe I’m a huge cynic, but I felt like the ending of the original was pretty drat bleak.  I've definitely heard both reactions, but personally I was left feeling cautiously optimistic. These two could save each other, OR things could go terribly, horribly wrong for them—but by no means was either outcome certain. The ending of Let Me In, though, is far more bleak.

Baron von Eevl posted:The vampire is a child molester who's been grooming boys for decades ...that isn't the text of the first film. Eli is a vampire emotionally stunted at 12 for all eternity, and Hakan was a pedofile who met Eli when he was an adult, text in the book and implied in the film. The remake changes it to that, though, yeah. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Feb 1, 2019 |

I remember them doing it in a way that felt okay until you thought about it literally at all and realized how profoundly hosed up it is. To think that way requires the presumption that Oskar in the present is what Hakan was in the past - an innocent who got sucked into Eli's orbit and destroyed by his hope for a crumb of love. That's not what it's about. Eli has always had a servitor who will protect her for thought of what he can get from her, but she's never had a friend who will look out for her simply because that's what friends do. It's interesting to consider the titles in that light because they perfectly mirror the differences in the story and its driving force. The original title comes from a Morrissey song about finding your soulmate, and that's what the story is about - finding someone to love and letting them into your life. The remake reverses that and becomes a demand to be let in.

Let the Right One In is somewhat ambiguous in its ending, but it's pretty easy to draw parallels between Hakan and Oskar if you've never read the book and rely solely on what the film presents to you. The remake just makes this interpretation explicit.

The Rock isn't really guaranteed success though, nor is Statham. Domestically. Judging by a quick Boxoffmojo search the goddamn international movie is keeping these movies afloat.

And for a very nerdy gripe, very few papers were six columns like the mock-up. Most were 7-8 columns, much more jammed together. The mock-up is based is the modern New York Times, but set in the 1950s without actually seeing what the NYT looked like back then.  (Just noticed that like the mock-up in the poster, this is the New York Times on the main day of the Mount Everest coverage.) RC and Moon Pie fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Feb 3, 2019 |

Of course the story featured on the poster is the fuckin scariest one to me. I live on a ranch and the thought of a sentient scarecrow/dummy/tulpa attacking and skinning me scared me so bad as a child that I had unending nightmares. Still get chills thinking about the last line of that story. gently caress it's effective.
