I'm thinking about sequels. Let the Right One In, Too? Three In, One's Right? Right Foureign?  |

| There's purist wankers, but then there's Miley Cyrus. The purist wankers have a very strong case. |

Well at least they changed the name and aren't pretending it's the same movie.  |

As if I could influence your credibility. You're so credible I'm nearly convinced it's a good idea. (nearly...  ) |

The Miley thing's a joke, of course. Photoshop or somesuch. Like the Youtube things such as Star Wars Rap (warning: foul language) |

Yeah, that was obvious. But the new name on IMDb (Let Me In) is far enough from the original name that it'll prevent viewer confusion, so it doesn't annoy me much. I feel the urge to kill when I hear people saying things like "I saw The Wicker Man, it was awesome!" and it transpires they've seen the crappy remake of a classic. When the remakers of a good movie stop pretending it's the same movie and give it a new name, then I'll let them live. |

(How many good old films have been RUINED by remakes? I swear, I should make an accolade of them all, but it would be more unattainable than the SNL one.)

I agree with this too, but the public have no choice over the name a studio puts on a movie. Whereas the public create the demand for remakes by flocking to the cinema to see their favourite actors speaking in a recognisable language with the right accents, having refused to go see the vastly superior original movie because it stars actors they're unfamiliar with speaking a language they don't understand and they don't like subtitles.
The public create the demand for remakes, and I don't blame the studios for filling that demand. That's simply a market-based civilisation at work. |
