Man, The Howling turned out mega boring. The mistake was probably watching it expecting a decent movie based upon recollection. If you compare this to a good movie like Dog Soldiers it really pales in comparison. In dog soldiers the funnies and the scares are actually intended to be so. This was just bleh.

Say, any bets on how bad the new Dog Soldiers is gonna be? After ze Americans land this is my favourite bit in the description

However, a second pack of savage werewolves are in pursuit. The new pack is in fact the surviving members of Captain Ryan's SAS team now transformed into werewolves, but they have retained trace memories of their commando training. The new werewolves are faster, deadlier and smarter then the original Highland werewolves. These are true Dog Soldiers - and they are hungry for fresh meat.

Another childhood favourite that really sucked was Condorman. Anyone remember that turd?

I'm wondering how Giant Robot (which all my classmates referred to as 'Jain Robot' at the time) would be if I watched it now. That shit rocked my world.

Yeah, the new Dog Soldiers sounds like it's going to fall flat. Phooey to anyone who didn't like the original, by the way. The sequel is guaranteed to be shit, unless they have lines like this:

Sergeant Lycan: What in blazes is the matter with you, private? All that training and you can't shoot one solitary fleeing target in the back?
Private Woofer: But Sarge! I ain't got no opposable thumbs! And all this 'air is coverin me eyes...
Sg: Load of toss! You think that ever stopped Conker? Jak? Daxter? TAILS?!
Pvt: Tails ain't got no shooter, Sarge...
Sg: DROP DOWN AND GIMME TWENTY!!
Pvt: Yessuh!
Sg: I meant twenty quid, private.
Pvt: Oh.

Dude, Jain Robot could be brilliant. Huge robot which is scared of walking lest it accidentally crush any insects instead moving cautiously on tip toes. Reacting with horror at the thought of using standard lubricating oil citing animal ingredients and insisting upon using Shudh vegetable oil. He can use the Jain philosophy of non violence to lead the transformers to freedom while on a quest to locate the mystical 25th Tirthankara.

I think we should make comics out of that idea.

You guys have been fucking beaten by reality. Behold Jain Robot, who froze himself into stasis by his hang-ups about killing things
