Why don't folks do what i do and boycott all YARM that comes out.I have no iontention to see these and i will spread the word of YARM.
yet another remake and you will get more and more of these unless you stop supporting them and get others to also boycott the YARM.
make sure to boycott the lame YARM of Toatl Recall a movie that definately does not need to ever be remade !!!

I agree with you GoreHound696. People need to stop supporting this trash. Barbarella, Clash of the Titans, Total Recall...decent if not great movies in their own right. Re-imaging these movies simply terrible.
A mindless remakes, a classic does not make.
