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.

    Y’all talking up Bill Paxton’s ghost but, like, what about Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s ghost?! Dusty doesn’t deserve it!

    I too, am irrationally annoyed at the idea of a Twister remake. My wife didn’t seem nearly as annoyed.

    The second I saw the drill going down I locally said, ‘why the fuck are you making a Twister remake’. Even pulling out the little wind ball things again. Putting an S on the name like it’s a sequel instead of the remake it appears to be.

        A lot of the shots in the trailer looked like shots from the original. And the mapping balls, with the same distribution method, felt the most ‘same’. Maybe that’s from a flashback, but it is still an unnecessary movie. Why make a new movie/story when you can do a lazy sequel that you hope cashes in on nostalgia.

    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.

      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.

    • 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.

    Eh, it looks like it could be 90 minutes of fun. Hard to judge based on a trailer

    How fucking dare they.

    Wow you are really taking this as a personal affront, huh? you know, you can just not see the movie lol

    i can’t imagine getting worked up over the mere existence a throwaway summer action movie. i strongly recommend taking a social media sabbatical my dude.
