Yeah, i know what you mean. She had some small roles in other crappy horror movies, and she was on some sitcom once as a guest. As you might guess she is just beyond horrible. Even when she's on a reality show or interview, it looks like she doing an impression of herself being a terrible actress.
 
Amytiville Horror and House of Wax aren't even out yet, but I'm putting money on it that they will suck severely. I flat out refuse to even see House of Wax because that talentless slut is in it.

The point is Death Race 2000 is fine the way it is and it doesn't need to be remade. There's no way to recreate the feel of it without totally destroying what made that movie a cult classic.
 
It's not that the industry is creatively bankrupt, it's that they're afraid to take any risks. I'm sure there are many ideas for original movies, but the companies don't want to invest the money into them because they don't have name recognition and the public might overlook them. It's easier and safer to target an established fanbase than try to build up a new one.
 
Or to take a really good movie idea and either submit it to Tarantino at Miramax, or Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's independent film production studio. They'll generally release something that's original.

I hope this is a bad, bad, bad, terrible, horrible joke.
 
A joke? Ok, I'm not a movie buff and I agree that submitting a movie idea to anything remotely associated with Ben Affleck is bad but Tarantino? His movies may not be everybody's cup of tea but I reckon I liked Kill Bill Vol. 1 and reservoir dogs too. Or would you rather watch another street-smart, sassy black guy joins up forces with white guy that doesn't know that rap exists, can't dance and is generally a dumbass. Or maybe another: poop-fest of the following: super hero movie where the heroes never quite match with their comic book counterparts, or maybe another two guys fight for one girl movie, or maybe another remake of old movies. I'm sorry if I sound like a whiner but now that I'm working fulltime and studying whenever I bother going to the movies, I end up wishing to scrap the turd-shaped photons of my retina with a rusty knife.
 
Hey, I like Tarantino as much or more than the next guy, but to call him "original" or "visionary" is insulting. The man rips everyone and their mother off.

On the note of Affleck and Damon, their production company shows some promise. The winner of their Project Greenlight contest - The Battle of Shaker Heights - was, indeed, a pretty original flick.
