Many remakes are stupid and simply Holywood laziness. I can't really imagine a remake of "Gone with the Wind". I bought a 2nd hand DVD of True Grit in CEX and was annoyed it was a remake. Maybe I'll have to buy the original.

There are books that are spoiled by being movies, books done badly, remakes that are poorer than originals and movies (remake or not) that maybe should never be shot.
But you don't have to watch them.


Was thinking only one guy still using actual film. Most Cinema is digital now too. Musing: is cinema purely social now with big screens affordable at home? At home you can pause for a toilet break and no-one is sitting in front or otherwise being annoying. Usually no rats either.
