Hollywood is always taking flawless #Movies and remaking them because they were so great, which is a waste of time because they're already perfect, so the remakes are always bad.

So here's a list of crap movies with great concepts that should be remade:

Cowboys and Aliens
Passengers
The Invention of Lying
King Ralph
8MM
The Island
Pixels
The Wizard
In Time
Limitless
Downsizing
Waterworld
Old
The Purge
Voyagers
Speed 2
The Core
Clockstoppers
The Butterfly Effect
Jumper
Now You See Me

@rodhilton The Wizard was a masterpiece of its time! 😂 Could you imagine announcing a major new video game in a movie in 2023 and keeping it secret? I vividly remember losing my mind 🤪

@ravipatel that's so funny - to me the aspect of the movie that is "reveal a new video game" is the thing that drags it down. When it becomes an announcement for Mario 3 and you realize the entire movie is just an ad for a new game, it's got drink-your-ovaltine vibes.

But I think the idea of "road trip movie but it's only children" is so solid, and making it be for a video game tournament is such a pure justification.
