This is a movie discussion/rant/debate/shout/angry-frustrated thing, not a review. No, babies, I haven't seen the remake yet, and I'm not sure if I will. But, I want to hear from all of you who have seen it to tell me what you thought about this new "remake".
First off, I am PISSED that they did a Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, and I actually don't feel the desire to go see it!
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a movie that I saw when I was like four years old. I swear to God, I watched that intently and I knew about everything that was going on during it. I LOVED it. To me, TCM was what a good movie was back then. I also enjoyed it a lot because it was a horror film and it was before my time. At a very young age, I was fascinated by what went on before I entered this world. I thought that in the 70s, America was plagued by monsters who wore masks that were human faces and running around with gas powered chainsaws. IT MADE ME WANT TO GROW UP AND MEET THE SICK BASTARDS.
I AM PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW because I can't go to the movie theatre tonight and experience the same movie - THAT HAS THE SAME TITLE! - and see those monsters come to life again, and see the girl running through the woods, and see her brother in the wheelchair get sawed to death, see the girl get hung on a hook, see the MALE hitchhiker cut his own palm and then cut the wheelchair guy's arm before taking off. I am pissed off that I can't see that in a new edition filmed in 2002-2003, WHEN I WAS ALIVE.
The chance has been done. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been remade -- by a ****ING IDIOT WHO CAN'T DO ****.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 2003 version, has a heavy metal soundtrack. It has a female hitchhiker, who isn't really a psychotic hitchhiker -- she's a surviving victim of Leatherface, whose friends are all dead. It has all sorts of new characters, more people in Leatherface's family (INCLUDING A KID!), all sorts of dumbness, MARIJUANA IN A PINATA, psychotic cops, disturbed women, blood, gore, new character names, a new real name for Leatherface, new scenes, new things.....
NONE OF THAT IS THE REAL "TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE" !!!!!!!!!!!
Why couldn't they have remade the film to be just like the original TCM? Why? What is so terrible about that? I for one would have been happier, I think, and I DEFINITELY would have went to see the movie first thing today.
Now, everybody's going to go out and see this ****ty remake this weekend, and I'm stuck here, eating PEZ and wishing I could see a fabulous updated version of a movie I have loved forever. Do you think I'm bitter?!?!
HELL YES.
A pissed off Sexy Celebrity, with chainsaw.
