I don't mind witty, dry humor. I don't even mind a "Lost Boys" type humor. I'm ok with that. I'm just afraid they are going for funny. I like what I call "thinking man's humor" or "smart humor" and I would be fine with that, I just hope it isn't camp or silly.
I know there are those who think that any movie that gets people to watch the original DS is ok and to a point I agree. I just know that a protest at each theater showing the new movie would cause people to check out the original. An original story about a seriel killer that leaves original DS tapes with the bodies and writes polices to tell them that he asks questions about the show and only kills those who can't answer his questions, could cause people to watch the original. I'm all for new fans. I'm all for more people watching the original DS. I would hate for people to watch it and say "that's not funny, I thought this was funny, the movie is". That would just suck.
I'm ok with humor. I'm not ok with funny.
Stephen King says that no matter what the movies based on his books are like, his books are still there.
No matter what this movie turns out to be, we'll always have the original DS.
