Obviously someone thought that Sellers' turn was stale and could be massively improved by Steve Martin.. Look how he transformed Bilko!jams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1157240223644806572006-09-03T00:37:00.000+01:002006-09-03T00:37:00.000+01:00Oh no, Nicolas Cage about to fuck up unother good ...Oh no, Nicolas Cage about to fuck up unother good movie!<BR/>Why do they insist on trying to fix stuff that isn't broken?<BR/>Like why would anybody think it would be a good idea to remake 'The Pink Panther'?

The real trick is how they keep changing mediums so that we buy the same thing repeatedly.<BR/><BR/>My Dad bought Star Wars on Betamax, then on VHS, and yet again on DVD. Just waiting to see when DVD's will be phased out and George Lucas can pocket money from yet another purchase.elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1157222346815010822006-09-02T19:39:00.000+01:002006-09-02T19:39:00.000+01:00We will know for sure when Hollywood remakes Aguir...We will know for sure when Hollywood remakes Aguirre the Wrath of God, moving the action from Peru to Poughkeepsie!<BR/><BR/>Zone Horror? indeed Mullets! I cant wait to see Stan's Little Helper and Leprechaun in Da Hood again!!<BR/><BR/>Agreed Betmo, The remake fetish shows a total lack of imagination. One remake I DO like though is the new Battlestar Galactica. Although a few too many introspective pauses, it is generally an excellent reimagining of what was a carp idea originally!<BR/><BR/>Excellent! I save you good money Dave! I really could not see how Hollywood could take the film and not balls it up. Try and get to see the original. You are in for a treat!jams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1157216768684626762006-09-02T18:06:00.000+01:002006-09-02T18:06:00.000+01:00Very interesting post, Jams!

I saw the trailer for The Wicker Man on World Trade Center and thought it actually looked pretty scary (believe it or not, I had no idea it was a remake). However, apparently it's really just another chronicle in Hollywood's Horror Shlock genre. Thanks for the heads up.<BR/><BR/>I may have to check out the original at some point.MC Fanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966360672502646830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1157209818731026612006-09-02T16:10:00.000+01:002006-09-02T16:10:00.000+01:00i love christopher lee. you can't remake him. i ...i love christopher lee. you can't remake him. i don't really understand why the remakes- i guess it is to modernize them for audiences. rehashing someone else's vision rarely works. all i can say is- thank god for dvd rentals.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206096509976316141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1157196878922520702006-09-02T12:34:00.000+01:002006-09-02T12:34:00.000+01:00Can't be worse than the City of Angels, though if ...Can't be worse than the City of Angels, though if I think...nothing impossible whith a remake.Agneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427327588753930703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1157196783239899702006-09-02T12:33:00.000+01:002006-09-02T12:33:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Agneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427327588753930703noreply@blogger.com
