Trust me, I have the dates right. The star of the first movie was a TV star who played a reporter. The star of the remake was an Oscar winner who played a pilot. The villain in the original was played by, pretty much, a nobody. The villain in the remake was played by nobody.
-
Well, yeah.

The original was not terribly popular as movies go. The remake was extremely unpopular, though it did not win any Golden Raspberries. The lead actor in the remake did not play the same character as the lead actor in the original. However, both characters were featured in both movies.

I think your posts would benefit greatly from the use of the ENTER key to create whole new paragraphs. Just a thought.

This 2014 remake of a 2000 movie was almost universally panned. Only one reviewer liked it (according to Rotten Tomatoes). The remake had a bigger budget and a bigger leading actor (an Oscar winner, no less). But it was missing crucial elements of the first film, a result of cutting its source material in half. As such, the villain, played by a relative unknown in the original, isn't even introduced as a character in the remake!

Oh! I get it. So you're describing the vultures and pirates looking for treasure, not the treasure itself.

Sling Blade hmmm

That would be my guess.

The Idealized vs the Reality
Raf replied to Tzaia's topic in Atheism, nontheism, skepticism: Questioning Faith
I would not fault any religion for the excesses of its followers unless those "excesses" were not excesses at all, but prescribed by the religion. Christianity offers a decisive break from Old Testament Judaism (forgive the shorthand), so I would not hold it against Christianity if Christians took the Old Testament too seriously in application: start burning witches and executing rebellious children as Yahweh instructed his followers to do. Christianity, even in theory, depends on religious freedom to flourish. A person has to be free to decide to become a Christian, which implies that the person has to be free to say no. I don't see anything in Christianity that says if a person rejects Christ, kill him a lot. Quite the opposite. It says leave him be. I'm not disputing that Christians have done some horrible things throughout history. I just don't fault Christianity for it. -
Keep trying hmmm. Some people call the title of this movie one thing. I call it another thing.

Snooping children isn't enough of a clue? A young girl with the same name as Bruce Wayne's aunt in the old Batman series (by TOTAL coincidence) secretly snoops on her friends and neighbors. She finds herself in trouble after her sworn enemy gets a hold of her diary. She turns to Carmen and Juni Cortez, the preteen children of secret agents, for assistance. And after that, I got nuttin.
-
No one? Carmen and Juni Cortez are also snooping children, if that helps.

For those wondering, he's not interested. -

FYI, I tracked down Refiner and reminded him that his profile here is still active. Be a real hoot if he shows up! -

Oh that's been gone for years. No one was signing up except for bots. It became unwieldy.
