Why is this being remade?

You young punks continue to overrate movies like Straw Dogs by saying it's not only good, but perfect. If it's so perfect, it wouldn't be panned by older women in particular. The same group of women who don't mind most other violent guy flicks (including A Clockwork Orange and most Peckinpah films) seem to hate Straw Dogs. Maybe because the other films were actually good films and not just violent and controversial. But as Straw Dogs proves, controversial doesn't always equal quality. Don't even get me started on the acting in Straw Dogs. Yes, Dustin Hoffman was good as always. But if Susan George and most of the other performers were as good, why did their careers go largely unnoticed? Del Henney, who played Charlie (maybe the third most prominent character in the film), only acted in several more films after Straw Dogs. The same goes for Ken Hutchison. Even the more famous actors like Peter Vaughan and David Warner have done better in films less valued than Straw Dogs. Bofor's Gun, anyone? The worst thing about Straw Dogs, in retrospect, is that it's an ultimately pointless film that probably could use a remake. You can't make Hoffman's character a pacifist and villain at the same time.

this movie is coming out right before the 2012 election to attack the tea party movement. They don't care if they make money or not on it. All thoughs anti-war movies during the bush administration flopped, even w/ huge star power. This movie will come out and fail.
