Default The poseidon Adventure!

Watched the remake of this last night...


...WHY BOTHER REMAKING AN ALREADY CLASSIC FILM

it wasn't bad, but it was no where near as good as the originia, twas just loads of explosions and CGI


just to remind people it's the film where the cruise liner goed upside down and sinks and the people try and escape the upside down ship.

The Italian Job, the only reference to the original is "Let's do it like The Italian Job"

It's a totally different film, use sense lad

So you reckon the only reference is "Let's do it like The Italian Job" what about the fact they used Mini's they did a job in Italy

Poseidon Adventure was the resoundingly shite TV film version made in 2005 in Redneckville, USA by Stevie Wonder and edited by his guide dog (probably).

The film Poseidon (2006) was supposed to be a damned site better and the IMDB ratings seem to at least confirm it wasn't as fucking Godawful as the Poseidon Adventure...

Mind you, I wouldn't know - I'm too lazy to even download the fookers, let alone pay to go and see them
