How fucking dare they. Talk about a movie that doesn’t need a sequel. Bill Paxton’s ghost does not deserve to be taunted like this.

    Here’s the thing: the real star of Twister is the storm chasing techniques and technologies.

    And it has been decades.

    The updated techniques and technologies deserve a cool movie too, and if they has called it anything else, I would be shouting angrily for the missed chance to call it “Twisters”.

    Also, anything that encourages more people to watch “Twister” is a good thing. So I’m really hoping this new one isn’t awful.

    • Are modern techniques and technologies still requiring people to drive directly into storms? I feel like safety is one of the things vastly improved in all that time, which might not make for a very action-packed movie.

        I have no idea. That’s part of what makes me curious about the film. I only have the IMDB page to go off of, but it sounded like they’re going for realism in technique and technology.

      I agree with you, but then I got about halfway through watching the trailer and realized they’re reusing the exact same (and completely extraneous) rivalry plot.
