Yes, let's do that.

I've just finished watching Total Recall and wow this was a bad idea. A lot of ok visual effects. TOO MANY lens flares. The first 5 minutes of the movie was this strobe light effect that almost gave me a seizure. The ENTIRE police force uses Kriss SMGs and Rhino revolvers.

I've started replaying the Uncharted series. Almost done with the second one

I would've thought all the criticism that the lastStar Trek film got would've made filmmakers reconsider on lens flare.

Uncharted gets better and better with each installment. Hopefully ND can continue this trend with the eventual Uncharted 4.

I bought The Killer and Last Action Hero yesterday

I really like The Killer. I'll probably end up buying many more "Heroic Bloodshed" films.

I'm a bit surprised no one has tried making an American version of The Killer yet. It's a great story, but it's a foreign film and a bit dated.

A remake would be horrible. Theyd either add a whole bunch of stupid shit or take away / change essential details.


However, remaking it might not be such a bad idea if someone like Johnnie To were to do it.

I was just about to point that out: it depends on who does it.
