What I meant was that the video that appeared on MTV was the one that Cobain re-did. I, also, checked his videography and the only other music videos that stood out where The Smashing Pumpkins' Bullet With Butterly Wings and Blind Melon's No Rain (a.k.a. the bee girl video).

That doesn't necessarily means he has no talent. Maybe Cobain was a diva.

Time to finish off Platinum Dunes week with a massively boring remake of one of the greatest horror movies ever. Even though, it's not Platinum Dunes worst, it's the most infuriating because ANOES is the best movie they've ever fumbled.

The good:

Jackie Earle Haley: Haley is great as Freddy. Too bad about the rest of the movie.

Rooney Mara: The future Oscar nominee is good as Nancy.

The bad:

Kyle Gallner: He's pretty bad here. The fact that he survives the movie is infuriating.

The make-up: While it's not as bad as the make-up in Freddy's Dead, the make-up here is dismal. Apparantly, they wanted Freddy to look like an actual burn victim, but it just looks silly. It's acceptable to break from reality sometimes.

The script: The writing is very sloopy and the ending doesn't make any damn sense.

The ugly:

Samuel Bayer: Fun fact: Bayer directed Nirvana's seminal Smells Like Teen Spirit video. Other fun fact: Kurt Cobain hated the original video and re-did parts of it without him. So, he never had any talent to begin with. This explains this movie's poor direction.

Katie Cassidy: Katie Cassidy is one of the worst actresses currently working today. One of my former classmates was a stable-girl for Katie's dad, David. I told her to tell him that she can't act! Yes really.

I'm finally done with Michael Bay's desecrations of horror classics! Grade: C-

Next-up: Alvin And The Chipmunks 3!

Since Hitchcock is his favorite director,a lot of Night's movies either have a similar plot or similar elements.There's also a lot of THE BIRDS in SIGNS:No explanations;people locked in their own attic/basements...

But then, as I recall, MWG expended countless posts a few years ago vainly trying to argue that M. Night Shyamalan's laughably ludicrous THE HAPPENING (a 2008 Worst Picture nominee and in many ways a not-too-subtle rip-off of THE BIRDS) actually was terrifying -- so MWG's credentials for judging terror/suspense movies are suspicious at best...

I have a really close friend that I talk to about movies all the time, and we frequently discuss topics related to movies, such as "eye-popping 3-D," the Oscars, the decline in the quality of film, and remakes (I personally like to call it the "Remake Rampage").

In our remake discussions, we occasionally bring up Gone with the Wind, as well as Citizen Kane and (dare I say it) The Godfather.

To answer your question... probably 5-10 years.

As for re-making The Birds, if they make the same movie with the original ending, I'll be happy.

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: I am curious -- By "original ending," do you mean the ending they had to use in the theatrical version of THE BIRDS...or the ending Hitchcock originally envisioned and had to abandon, where Rod Taylor's sportscar crests the hill overlooking the Golden Gate bridge only to find it...covered with thousands of waiting birds??

It ain't over yet, these are more horror remakes in the pipeline:

Poltergeist (2013) - Even though there may be a glimmer of hope for this as Sam Raimi is a producer I wouldn't bet on it. His other producing credits include The Grudge (whose screenwriters are also on board) and Bogeyman, so don't get all excited.

The Birds - Why?! Hitchcock got it right first time! There's no point! Oh right, coz this is the easy alternative to robbing a bank.
