Straw Dogs (remake)

[The Silver Bullet]

I'm not sure it is a contract [which sorta renders what I've said irrelevent], but what he needs to do is simply realise that if he gets caught it this whirlwind early, he ain't going to get out. Sure, he is new to Hollywood, but he has to realise that doesn't mean he has to sell his talent short because of that.

And I agree. No one on Earth needs remakes. Especially of films like Straw Dogs.

Nope.  Well, yes, you can edit, but not delete.

imdb's trivia section on Stuart Blumberg, who wrote the screenplay for this 'remake', says that, "[He] Once considered going to Harvard Law to become a lawyer."

haven't we all?

Why would they do a remake to the 70's film Straw Dogs? It was just fine as it was, Dustin Hoffman isn't dead yet and I can already say that it won't be as good. Gah...people are so desperate for movies ideas. Since they can't come up with any good ideas on their own, it's....REMAKES! REMAKES! REMAKES!

The best part of all will be hearing teens leave the theatres saying, "man that rape was awesome!!"

[Chest Rockwell]

Yea, I don't see why they do remakes of already damn-good pictures. Unless they do something incredibly different with it (like what I'm hoping the upcoming Willy Wonka remake will do) then I see no point. The one plus is that it brings to the mainstream audiences a film that otherwise wouldn't be there at all.

But they'll be talking about the frat party that they went to the night before.

i didn't think the original Straw Dogs was all that great. granted, i watched it on an old VHS tape, but what did you like about it?

i don't know if you call it a rape scene......well, it starts out that way, but then it seems she doesn't mind.......i don't know, that really caught me off guard, but i guess that was it's intention. how do you interpret the scene?

it really made me think how messed up a situation like rape is for the woman. of course on the obvious idea that it is total violation, but at the same time you can't make your body's sense to touch stop. i can't think of any situation in humanity where how you would want to feel and how your body is telling you to feel is in such unalignment. i just can't even begin to imagine how horrible that feeling must be.
