Red Dawn remake

[Simon Bar Sinister]

MGM's seemingly never-ending financial hell has gotten Red Dawn pushed back once again; now it's "sometime in 2011."

I for one welcome this. They might do a good job. It will be interesting to see who the invaders are. They cant very well make it the Soviets again. for one they are now are comrades and for two kinda weak now. Unless they do it setting place in the 80's. Might be neat to see it be the middle east and possibly North Korea.

Agree with everything but the "... now are comrades and for two kinda weak now." The Russians have been building their military BIG time since 2000. Spending almost as much as China. They are not to be fucked with.

the US spends as much on its military as the next 15 countries combined.

Russia is broke. Period. The only other western military that is doing as poorly as the Russians is Greece. The greeks, who just defaulted on their new submarine fleet, got sued by germany who is repossessing said submarines.

The Russians cant afford to buy their army new tanks to replace the ones they built in the 1980s.

And as for budgets... increasing your budget by any given percentage means nothing if you original amount was peanuts to begin with. (Increasing $6 by 600% is meaningless). Contex is the most important part of a budget, not the raw numbers.

You did hear they changed it though right? due to political interests they redid the whole set, i dont even think the Chinese are the enemy any more...

[Simon Bar Sinister]

I've heard that North Korea is the enemy, which makes the whole thing even more laughable.

its like they decided to jump the shark... not even an accident. They said... how can we take a great film and remake it as absolute crap? They brainstormed and did everything they could to destroy the idea... I am also inclined to believe that the writer/director/producers of this film some how managed to give Patrick Swayze brain cancer as well.

"jump the shark" lol.

That Swayze thing isn't just a speculation, its a fact, I read it on internet!
