    No one can take away the original thank goodness we have that.

    As long as they don't start re-editing originals.

    They can remake/remodel away...in 44DDD for all I care.



    Ray is a God.
    Well, they can't take away the originals in a sense of actually deleting every copy that was ever made around the world...

    But just try searching for the DVD/VHS/BluRay/HDDVD/VideoCD/SVCD/LaserDisc/whatever the fuck more of the classic version of a now relatively obscure film like Clash of the Titans after the remake is out.

    Only in torrents. Thank the internets for that.

    Cheers! :bottle:

      Oh, fer the love of...

      You mean they purposefully deleted that scene from the film so they can sell the DVD???

      Trouble is, it WILL work.

      People are stupid enough to purchase the DVD just to see a lame "sex" scene.

      When they should just buy/download/rent a FUCKING PORN!

      Jaysus... there's really not much hope for mankind, is there?

      Cheers! :bottle:

        Apparently she is now in her late 50s doing the odd bit of TV.

        *sinks into depression*
        She was also Aurora, Ming the Merciless's daughter in Flash.



        Actually, Aura was actually Ornella Muti. Still ufff...

          What the fuck are you talking about? that was Ornella Muti, not Judy Bowker.

          That one was worthy of Gar, Nick... IMDB, Wikipedia, Google... and you pull a stunt like that???

          By the way, if this site doesn't lie, Ornell is still very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, bangable...

              No,. No, My Brutha! it is because of money .

              They make all movies now for the 8 to 17.5 year old market..... that is it.

              You should see my posts in the Iron Man thread I belive Pojo started back before the last -RA- shut down.

              They know what demographic goes to the theaters.

              We have adult themed movies staring supposed "sex actresses" and they keep it pg13 to avoid a R rating to sell more tickets.

              And now evidently they think they can interests adult demographic in a stupid kiddie flick by adding a otherwise exclude tittie shot from the original release.

              However the trailer from this new COTT 2010 looks fairly adult themed.

              Very rare to cater to the ones who earn the money to give to the kids who buy most tickets....


              peace ..

                I will say the real best movies these days are probably the independant films made by people who aren't owned by a studio....not all.... but, you need to get to Spielberg status to make it your way; if you see what I am say'n.

                And they don't get promotional money so I can never find out what's, what... and that is the big studios game all along.

                I know most everybody knows this already...

                  I don't see how it would have gotten an R rating unless Jake takes his loin cloth off and shows his THARG.

                        Whatever....it is gonna be interesting to see what James Cameron's version of alien sex will be about.

                        Though I would be willing to bet that (like the deleted orgy scene in that movie Eyes Wide Shut) it will be a buncha hype about nothing.

                          Avatar, Second Highest Grossing Film of All Time

                          Avatar, Second Highest Grossing Film of All Time

                          Thursday, January 7, 2010 12:42PM By Krystal Clark


                          When I grow up, I want to be just like James Cameron, because that man’s success knows no bounds. He might not be as decorated or acclaimed as Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, or Martin Scorsese, but he’s the people’s champ. The director’s latest film Avatar, has managed to become the second highest grossing film off all time after just 20 days in theaters!

                          First off, Avatar was a major investment for Cameron to take a risk on. In Hollywood’s current climate, only comic book movies, sequels, and remakes produce the most box office dollars and the director wanted to go against the grain. He decided to take on a big budget film with no preexisting material to fall back on. His risk has paid off in spades because as of Wednesday Avatar has grossed 1.12 billion dollars passing 2003’s Lord of the Rings: Return the King.

                          Fox originally projected that the film would reach number 2 by next week, and had no idea that it would happen so soon. As of today, the film has accumulated $374.4 million domestically and a foreign cume of $760.8 million, for a worldwide box office total of $1.14 billion and counting. The majority of the film’s profit comes from overseas, but it’s still poised to break the top ten U.S. box office chart by the end of the week surpassing Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.

                          A lot of the film’s financial success has to do with the higher ticket prices from the 3-D screenings. It’s been highly recommended that audiences watch Avatar in IMAX so they can view the movie the way Cameron meant for it to be seen. If this was a 2-D film there’s no way it would have accumulated as much as it did, as fast as it did, but we still have to give credit to where credit is due.

                          You have to hand it to Cameron for sticking to his guns and making the film that he wanted to make without the influence of outsiders. It may have taken him over a decade to do it, but he brought Avatar to the masses, and apparently their very grateful. If the film can pull in this kind of dough after only 20 days, lets see what it will do by the end of its run. The only thing standing in its way is that ship that refuses to sink, with $1.84 billion dollars earned.

                            is Cameron really good at movie making, or is he really good at creating hype and getting people to see his movies?

                            Titanic had a huge repeat viewership while it was still in the theaters, can Avatar be the same way?

                              Titanic had "the car scene"...
                              Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?
