Remakes of films. Texas Chainsaw, Longest Yard etc.
Pointless exercises in introducing older films to stupid new viewers, usually sticking rappers in to capture that sub-urban demographic.
Well that's fine, I can take em or leave em.
Except for one I've just heard about.
Ready? Ready for the next remake?
The Hitcher.
Now anybody that's seen that film is going to sigh deeply and shake their head. Anybody that hasn't seen it, needs to - trust me on this, go rent it from Blockbuster or buy it, it's cheap now.
Oh but it gets better, ready?
The character of Jim Halsey (C Thomas Howell) is...drumroll...now a woman!
Yep. No doubt some nubile teen who'll be chased through abandoned buildings and getting all sweaty and semi-nude for your enjoyment.
Why?
Why remake this film? Just re-release it for chrissakes.
You cannot come close to the atmosphere of dread and fear of the original.
And you'll not top Rutger Hauer as the Hitcher.
And you can bet your ass there'll be some reason given for him being a maniac, instead of just a relentless force of nature.
Remaking The Hitcher...bah.

This is fubar. In all honesty I believe their should be laws to prevent remakes of films being made. Think of Assault on Precinct 13. Original = classic, remake = balls.

Is this the one with the woman/2 lorries? That's all I remember about seeing this movie. It must be years old.
