Mission Impossible 4:

Tom Cruise has signed on for 'Mission Impossible IV' | EW.com

Problem #1: Cut the "the Doctor is merciful" crap. Yes, he is, but not that merciful. I mean, geez, he never had that much of a problem slaughtering Daleks before. Yes, he is now faced with the last remnants of their species (Again. And again. Oh, and yet again.), but seriously, it wouldn't be the first time he committed genocide, and it's the damned Daleks. How many more races do they have to wipe out in order to get back on his bad side?

RTD's (Russel T. Davies) production team made it clear that the reason for this is because of the Time War that happened after the Doctor Who movie and before "Series One" of RTD's series started. Because the Doctor had to seal the Time-Lords and the Daleks away, thereby "killing" them all . . . he changed. He is not okay with killing any more.

Well. That is until the two most recent special that aired.

I am very interested to see in what direction Stephen Moffet takes the show. I suspect it might be closer to 80s stuff.

I've watched the VERY first series and didn't care much for it. I watched some other old 70s series and didn't care for it. I watched some Tom Baker stuff and liked it okay. But RTD's series are my favorite. I hope Stephen Moffet doesn't ruin it for me.

Oh, and I'm about to watch the 1996 Doctor Who movie!

@Renmiri's dislike for Donna: Really?! She was my favorite companion by FAR! Loved her so, so, so much! It's funny how we each like such opposite things about the same show.

There is no way on earth the US Remake of The Office is better than the original UK version.

It's just dumbed down & more in-your-face for the US audience who don't quite understand humour unless its rammed up their arse first.

Anyway, I'd say the movie Heat, based on the 80s movie L.A. Takedown. Does it count if the title's different? Anyway that.

I think it's very funny, the first few seasons anyway. You make it sound like garbage like Two and a Half Men, which it patently is not. And I'm not comparing it to the UK version as they're two very different shows, which only really share a central premise.

I dont like it, have tried to. This is not elitism. Many US comedy shows are fantastic, Family Guy & Modern Family to name 2. Oh Two & Half Men is the single worst comedy I have ever seen. I have literally no idea why its popular over there. Like How I Met Your Mother, complete e to it's core. They are so broad Rosanne Barr could fit through them, ego and all.

I disagree. I have a history of loving BritComs (Blackadder, Monty Python, Are You Being Served?, My Family, As Time Goes By, Mr Bean . . . pretty much ANYTHING they showed us here in the States) more than my own American programs. So when I saw clips of The Office and knew it was based on a UK show, I got every episode of the UK show and laughed my arse off.

And then I watched the US version . . . and liked it a lot more.

I think the major difference is the tone. While the US version also revels in the humor of being "uncomfortable" that makes the UK version so awesome, it does so with a slightly "warmer" and kinder and wacky-er tone that I like a lot better. While I enjoyed the original UK version, I did find it a bit too abrasive at times, which is fine since that's the intent. But I could not imagine watching 5+ seasons of 22 episodes of that style of show. I think that's why it could only last the fourteen or so episodes it did in the UK.

i think we can all agree that we prefer the US version of the office over the UK version is because all the people in the latter are hideous

now that’s out of the way, the King James Bible

I may not agree with your opinion but by God I will defend my right to laugh while you make it.

US TV: Sanitise & Beautified to the point of nausia.

Bwahahaha! That's awesome. And so, so true.

I'm going to have to agree with everyone who's said Batman and The Office.

I'd also like to add Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen, Hellsing Ultimate and Adam Sandler's The Longest Yard.

edit: wasn't Death Race also a remake? I haven't seen the original, but Death Race was awesome.

[Vyk]

Anything I can think of has been mentioned. How about US Godzilla??? /duck

[hitman1984]

For me probably Batman Begins/TDK they did a great job with those movies even though i still like Keaton as Batman. Spider-Man 1/2/3 i think thye did a great job with these for those that are interested Spider-Man movies where made long before the current generation, Scarface i've seen both versions and Pacino's version is superior in every way, Gone in 60 seconds once again i think Cage delivered massively in this and probably Ocean's Eleven way better then the original imo.
