<p>WWTDD.com had some more info on the trailer/film :</p><p><table cellpadding="3" width="530" border="0"><tr><td class="medium_text" colspan="3"><strong><font size="2">Texas Chainsaw is controversial<br /></font></strong></td></tr><tr><td class="main_content"><br />The clueless mummy thugs at the MPAA (the ratings board for Hollywood movies) have decided that you can't watch the trailer for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel like a grown up, you can only see it between 10 pm and 4 am. They stopped shaking their fist at the paperboy long enough to rule that it's too shocking for you. Even though they also gave the trailer a green band, meaning it's rated PG and approved for all audiences. So the precious god damn children can see it, but only when they MPAA says so. I encourage everyone to grab a baby and hold them up to the monitor after you <a href="http://wwtdd.com/index.php?type=box&p=tcm.shtml" target="blank"><font color="#800080">click here and watch the trailer on Tyler</font></a>. <br /><br />This actually looks pretty good. Although it might not be the greatest idea in the world to hire chicks as hot as Diora Baird to be in your horror movie. Even when she's covered in blood, I see her and little cartoon hearts appear all around and 'Dreamweaver' plays in my head. I find it hard to believe that's what the director was going for. But this looks slick. The first one was good, even though they didn't use underrated hottie <a href="http://www.maximonline.com/girls_of_maxim/girl_template_magnified.aspx?id=860&ind=3" target="blank"><font color="#800080">Lauren German</font></a> enough. This should be at least as good. Because Diora looks hot. Maybe too hot. I can't imagine it's super healthy to have an erection while leering at a girl with no head.</td></tr></table></p>

<p>Christ, I did a Google search of this Diora Baird chick. My God, she is incredibly hot!&nbsp; <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/wub.gif" border="0" />&nbsp;</p>

<p>I hadn't heard of her.</p><p>What else was she in ? ( I'm too lazy to IMDB it ).</p>

This looks EXACTLY like the first remake.&nbsp; Waste of film.

<p>Trailer doesnt show mcuh but I'll still see it.</p><p>I think they show us how R Lee becomes the &quot; Sheriff &quot;.</p><p>From some of the sound bites on the website you can piece things together.</p><p>It sounds like he's a deputy or something and there's another guy who's the Sheriff.</p><p>I'm guessing he kills him somehow.</p>

Lee Tergesen from Oz is in this. Can't be all bad.

<p>HOLLYWOOD IS FUCKING LAZY AND STUPID</p><p>ALL THE GREAT YOUNG WRITERS AND FILM MAKERS OUT THERE AND NOBODY CAN PUT TOGETHER A FUCKING NEW FRESH IDEA FOR A MOVIE (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PAUL O*)&nbsp;</p>

<p>I'm an old school ( say late 70's on ) horror fan and I've actually enjoyed the&nbsp; 3 remakes of movies from that era. I liked both the TCM remake and the Dawn Of The Dead remake a lot and thought the Hills Have Eyes was good in that it was fairly well paced and had great gore.</p><p>Now i havent seen the Omen yet so I can answer there.</p><p>While I think it is better to have new ideas I dont have a problem with redoing an old story as long as you do it right. Put in a good mix of the original and your own spin ( as long as they dont contradict ) and I think it works. I'm not a fan of a complete remake done shot for shot.</p><p>I think when watching movies that are being remade/retuned you have to seperate yourself from the original. With a clear mind I think you enjoy the new movie better.</p><p>I'm looking forward to this TCM movie, because it's gonna give a lot of background info, but I dount I'll like it as much as the first one just because it will have a &quot; I've seen this before feel &quot; and the fact that the first remake was much better than I had expected.</p>

OK so I've seen this before but just again caught the last 20 minutes on cable and really think the end ruins the whole movie.

The movie itslef was prety good despite the weak plot and had some action.

How ridiculous is that ending ?

Leatherface is spending the whole time chasing after her like a brute and then all of a sudden he deiceds to hide in the backseat of a car she may get into ?

And he's able to rev up a 3 foot chainsaw in the back seat of the car and angle it to run it through the back of her seat ?

Then they hit a civilian and a highway patrolman within a mile of their house and there's no investigation ?

The police show up and see a girl dead in a car and they don't wonder how that happened ?

Pretty lame way to end it all.
