[They already jacked up The Omen by giving that nonspeaking little boy a role. But I don't think they did that because they were dumbing it down.]

It's just like music...I really don't care too much for remixes or remaking of anything....it's not much that has been done out here that has been 'remade' that i like..I can think of a few but they escape me right now.


As long as they don't try to do another Godfather sequel or try to do a remake... I am good....

Yeah.

So do we all agree that this topic isn't really about what Taualumna tried to make it about?

Just to quibble a little, it's like some music. No, we don't really need to many remixes or covers of popular music -- The Beatles did "Hard Days Night" just fine, thanks. (Although I have heard some covers I liked better than the originals.)

But then there's other music. Another recording of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony? Sure! Another production/recording of "West Side Story" or "Carmen." Sure! I may hear different nuances or approaches in the different recordings or productions.

In that vein, should they stop making movies of Shakespeare? Who needed a new movie of "Richard III" (with Ian McKellen) in the 90s, when we already had Laurence Olivier's masterpiece? But I'm glad that Ian McKellen's was made, and I'm looking forward to his new "King Lear."

Definitely.
