*cries* They're remaking The Omen T_T

Post by peachvampiress » Wed Mar 08, 2006 12:32 am

As a big, BIG fan of the original Omen movie (an to a lesser extent it's first and second sequels), I can't help but weep as Hollywood feels compelled to remake another classic.

You can view the teaser trailer here

First off, that kids looks to cute to be Damien. The original Damien always has and always will creep me out. Secondly, I feel sorry for who ever is going to play Damien's father because I don't think anyone can hold a candle to Gregory Peck's performance.

It also sounds like they're trying to imitate the original soundtrack, which isn't neccesarily a bad thing because the original theme worked so well, but it'll be hard to live up to Satanic Georgian chanting.

>_> I probably will see it though. Maybe not in theaters, but most likely on DVD. One positive thing I'll say though is that this can't possibly be any worse than Omen IV: The Awakening. That was just *shudders* awful, truley and awful sequel.

As someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly
And if Im flying solo, at least Im flying free
To those whod ground me
Take a message back from me

She's giving information on the movie. there's no point in responding with rude retorts.

Joey: The question is, Rachel, does he like you? ''Cuz if he doesn''t, then it''s all just a moo point.
Rachel: Huh...a...moo point?
Joey: Yeah. It''''s like a cow''s opinion. It doesn''t matter....It''s moo.

Heh... it was meant in agreement on Peach's opinion. Was criticizing the remake, not her. The original was great, why ruin a classic?

I believe the movie got released today. Interesting choice to release the movie on the date 666. (06/06/06) I'm going to see the movie later when the theaters aren't so packed. Also b/c this is one of those movies I'm not going to go out of my way to see.
