Well that's disturbing!
This might just lead to the so called Zombie Apocalpyse if this fungus actually finds a way to grow. Worse what if the ants carry the spores inside of it's bite and bites one person this might lead into the effects of a zombie and then spread and spread on until, well you get my point!

@Shock, welcome to the club ^^

Anyway, in thinking about it, I have decided to make Smashsquatch the first Co-Captain, not just because of his activity here, but also for his maintenance of my former club. Congrats Smash :D I repped you and your name is now part of the history of this club.

New topic is movie remakes. How do you feel they compare to the originals?

nice job getting the club stickied FTW, this would ultimately attract more new member I hope.

Anyway, the topic about remake..well I hate the idea of hollywood remaking movie for quick buck but I don't entirely hate remake for being remake as long as they are entertaining on their own and it was shoot beautifully and edited nicely it's fine by my book.

other than remake there's also Reimagine or renovate which is entirely different from remake as they only take the basic idea of the movie and make it their own. Reimaginings and renovations often contain tongue in cheek references to the original, with characters of the same name and similar concepts, while remaining significantly different from the original.

I'm more cool with reimagine and renovate's movies more that remake movies mainly because the director/writer who did them try to portray their own version of the movie instead of like remake where you try to recreate it and entirely they usually fail.

I'm in film school now so they teach this stuff..hope it's now off topic or spammy in a way.

and if there's the worst remake film ever I would say 1998's Psycho. That movie just completely butchered the original. And my old time favorite remake would always be John Carpenter's The Thing or Zack Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead.

I'm not into remakes. I just show how hollywood is a group of guys taking a quick way to get money and unoriginal but I sure love me some of reimagine like TCM plus the prequel and my bloody valentine. And with scream 4, it show us a dimly light that hollywood can be original and succeed

@Smashsquatch, well that depends just like how beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, same goes with this. Those who never seen the original and only saw the remake would either hate the original or just simply say that the original just doesn't live up to the hype that it was set upon.

Actually there is only one movie I know that is sort of a remake, but kind of takes a different twist on the whole story and that's Romeo and Juliet. The orignal sucked, mainly because there wasn't anything interesting going on (Except when you see Juliet's boobs ;) ) and I can't understand what the hell they're saying either. The new one was more interesting mainly because they had guns and it was more modern, but I still can't understand what the f*** they're saying.
