Things and Stuff

Ok. Stop it. All of you. Stop remaking movies. Stop remaking good foreign films to suit lame American audiences who refuse to read subtitles. Stop remaking classic American films because the youth doesn’t understand why there is no color or nudity.

Now, the picture above creates a new issue. DO NOT REMAKE A THREE YEAR OLD FILM, THAT IS ALREADY IN ENGLISH. Sure, it was technically a British film; and yeah, it was played mostly at art house theaters and didn’t make money. But you know what? Sometimes the best films out there aren’t seen, or don’t make money. They are the ones I still try to call art versus just being a product.

Death at a Funeral (2007) was art. Death At a Funeral (2010) will be a shitty, knock-off product.

OOF

I mean, seriously….can no one create anymore?  Are we reduced to a nation of copiers?

Okay, if you want to remake a movie from the 1930s or 40s, and put a contemporary twist on an old story, that’s one thing.  (Even then, you’d want to stay away from a classic).  But re-hashing three-year-old movies, and re-booting old TV shows, and adding unnecessary sequels and prequels just shows a lack of creativity and imagination.
