Alien reboot/remake/reimaging

Jesus Mothefucking Titty Barbra Streisand X-Box 360 Cunt Buckets. Why the fuck are they remaking Alien? Why remake a perfect film? The film stands up by today's standards. It's still scary by today's standards, it's a pretty damn mothefucking intelligent thriller (as far as monsters in space can get), it's well acted and the characterisation is pretty much dead on. Like almost all remakes it doesn't need fixing, so why try and fix something that hasn't aged at all?

Ok sure the computer screens are old and have 80's graphics, and sure the explosion at the end wasn't as realistic as today's explosions in space (lol what?). But that's all I can think of which is dated. Everything translates fine, I mean this is as bad as if the remade The Terminator or remade Citizen Kane, The Wickerman or Butch Cassidy (oh wait <_<). Maybe to some extent it's as bad as if they decided to remake Jaws, but at least Jaws is a novel adaptation, and three’s enough unused material in the novel to make a pretty decent remake. Alien wasn't a novel: It was a completely individual piece of art, and it just doesn't make a blind bit of sense.

I cannot urge people more to avoid seeing the alien remake at all costs. Seriously if no-one goes and sees it. They wont make a sequel. This movie must NOT make a profit! I urge any fan of the Alien series that comes across this post to pass it on to another Alien fan until all Alien fans are united against the remake.

Dear God: it's given birth to a terrible remake!
