You made a great point, but why on Earth did you choose Dredd 3D as your example? It may be better than the original by some margin, but that's not really an achievement.Ahem. I think Dredd 3D would like to have a word with you.There's plenty more reboots that hold up or even surpass the originals. There's a lot of films that people probably don't even know are remakes that were better than the originals. Although, I guess a lot of that is subjective so it's hard to make the point that there are. I guess all I'm saying is I disagree! xD

It was one of the first examples of a reboot being better than the original that popped in my head. It didn't have to be a huge achievement. It just had to be better than the original. Also, considering how well it was received, it's one of the more objective examples. I'm sure some people liked the '95 version better but, for the most part, people seemed to have liked the reboot better.
Anyways.. It's probably best not to keep this off-topic discussion going. I just wanted to toss my two cents in because I'm a bit of a film geek. xD
People liked the '95 version? I'm waiting for the inevitable Brett Ratner version as it might actually be better than both.
It was better because it actually remained true to the source material. That source material being the comic.
Sometimes when I get the alert I don't even read the name of the thread. So when I get a new post that is slightly off-topic I take it even further off-course as I've forgotten what that course actually was.

Don't worry guys - the things you love the most (frames, tubes, FORTH, etc) are coming back! But a lot of new stuff is coming too!

I don't know about that.. Aside from Tower Heist, he really hasn't done a decent film since Red Dragon and after X-Men: The Last Stand, I don't have much faith in his directing abilities.
I don't know about that, either. xD The comics were a bit more satirical. It was simply a really entertaining action flick.
Seriously, though. No more off-topic for me. I'm starting to feel guilty about my first post.
Woo!!!!
Is it weird that one thing I'd be most excited for is flax? Also windmills!
I didn't even like Red Dragon. Much preferred Silence of the Lambs or the TV Series Hannibal. I really can't stand the guy's movies, but I still think it'd be better than the '95 Dredd.
What about the possible usage of tungsten?
Never! The only use it should ever have is to be a valuable material for transmutation!
Oh the good ol' days.. How I miss thee. I need to figure out how to enable terrain generation in the 1.2.5 FTB pack. I love the current 1.6.4 packs but there was just this feel about the older packs that was just so cool. It seemed to be all about building the biggest and craziest contraptions back then whereas now it's all about efficiency.
*Ahem*. We have a General Discussion forum for off-topic stuff.
but but this is a thread about Eloraam isnt there an (until now) unspoken rule that hey HAVE to go offtopic?*Ahem*. We have a General Discussion forum for off-topic stuff.
also to stay ontopic i have seen her show up and disappear with nary a trace to such a degree that until i actually have the mod downloaded installed and working i wont believe its happening
Someone talked about a blutric deathray
I need that in my life.
I hope it has a significant chargeup time, with suiting sounds :3
Charge an array of deathrays on a giant sky bridge powered by millions of enviromentally unfriendly windmills and solar panels and blow a giant line in the landscape makng a moat around your base and completely destroy an enemies base, trapping them in a mystcraft age until someone finds a lost linking book and frees them.
