Ahhh Elvira, a girl after my own heart. Two very original and unbeatable classics, movies that will go on timelessly, I'm glad that ratdick ringmeat Ash hasn't decided to post anything negative about the idea of remaking this movie, not that I've seen anyway, I'm tired of making him look like a little bitch.

I loved the original. Although I am not a fan of remakes, I'm hoping since Aja is directing, it won't be too bad. However if they put this in 3-D...well any horror flick in 3-D, I will squeal like a little school girl.

I loved the original PIRANHA. Hell, Besides JAWS, Piranha was the only other movie that made me think twice about getting in water. Now that is something, when a movie fucks you up like that. All though I was still pretty young when I saw PIRANHA, I have fond memories. Also there have been sucky versions that I would like to erase from my mind, so a remake for this movie may be a good thing. But again, that is IF the movie is treated right and is done right. GOD! I hope this doesn't turn out to be another Hollywood rehash like HALLOWEEN, TCM and other classics that are now doomed.
