The Wicker Man

I made the mistake of watching the 2006 remake of The Wicker Man with Nicolas Cage.
The studio executive responsible for allowing that steaming pile of garbage to be filmed should be ashamed.
Remaking an absolute cinema classic was unnecessary in the first place, but to do it so damn badly is inexcusable! 😤

Last year, I saw two movies, all new to me. A mid 50's French film "Wages Of Sin" and a 70's American remake "Sorcerer". Both were intensely great and highly recommended.
@Ghostinthemachine There are examples of remakes that are arguably equal or better than originals.
@BlueSkyKing For sure. An Affair to Remember is one for me
Dune…Oceans 11
@Ghostinthemachine "The Maltese Falcon", "Fist Full Of Dollars", "The Magnificent Seven" are all remakes. Not to mention the various movies made on Shakespeare's plays

There's just one Cage performance that is truly for the record books, Leaving Las Vegas!!

The original is the ONLY one I will watch

@DearAmbellina2113 wise words, the original was excellent and perfectly cast.
I’ve only ever seen the original.. 😏

Never seen it but, all movies now suck especially remakes. And Nicolas Cage? wtf?

I am determined to avoid it.

The Academy completely let this one slip by in not awarding Nic Cage an Oscar for his performance.

@SpectralMourning I don't think there were bees in the original were there?
OverTheHill · 61-69, M
NOT THE BEES!

Is it so bad it’s good, at least?
Gingery · 41-45, F
@Ghostinthemachine Unfortunately not even comically bad!
@Gingery just a waste of time then

I hate when that happens too...such as Nutty Professor, The Thing From Another World, etc...
Calling Nicolas Cage a "Steaming Pile of Garbage"is a little unfair. But only a little.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman the original is a classic, but the revised plot and script were awful.
@Gingery If you are looking for an argument, you came to the wrong place. I wouldnt argue with you. Maybe Edward Woodward would..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman who’s arguing? Life’s too short for arguing on the internet! 😂

I liked it. The other one was too old.
Ferise1 · 46-50, M
@Ghostinthemachine no i’m fine with all the movies in the time bracket I mentioned
Gingery · 41-45, F
@Ferise1 each to their own 🙂

@Gingery I liked Roofman did you like it?
