Would the movie INNERSPACEBALLS be considered a "pathetic remake" or a sequel?

Everyone knows that Chevy Chase's best movie was National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

That's really tough - having to choose between the 1st and 3rd Vacation "films". Both are unbelievably funny, but I'll second your Christmas Vacation nod simply because it bears watching EVERY year around the holidays.

C'mon, the second one is classic, too.

Same reason they're remaking Red Dawn, Clash of the Titans, The Karate Kid, The Fly, and all these other 80s movies: Hollywood has officially run out of ideas and is a bunch of morons.

No one can be Freddy Krueger except for Robert Englund. No one.

wait, what? they're making 'the fly' again? wasn't it already a remake? so this is a re-remake?

Yes. It's not a re-make of the original, but a re-make of the 80s movie. So a re-make of a re-make. I'm not joking. If that's not sad, I don't know what is.

He looks like shit! And why the fuck would he be take off his jacket but not his fucking sweater? What a fuckin' waste of everyone's time this will be.

The Fly: The remake of the remake is being directed by the guy that did the remake (Cronenberg).

Elm St.: Why? Why not? It worked for Halloween and Friday the 13th (apparently). This one has Rorschach as Freddy...so that's something.

Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees are merely movie monsters, and their respective films were just slasher flicks. Freddy Krueger is a great film villain, and the movies (at least the first few) are fun enough to transcend simple, generic slasher films.

Re-casting Freddy is like re-casting Darth Vader or Rick from Casablanca.

On a more basic level than that, you could get away with recasting Michael Myers and Jason because you never saw their faces - one big guy looks like another. Freddy looks like he does in large part because of Robert Englund (who also defined his personality).

I probably won't see it and I've only seen a few of the NOES movies (maybe even just one full one and bits of others), so it doesn't really matter to me, but it's still weird.
