More remake lunacy and other stuff

[ulthar]

My wife and I once saw a play that was a female version of The Odd Couple.  Thought it WAS a funny play (but no funnier than if they had been men), I remember wondering at the time "so what's the point of making them ladies."

I think it may be some kind of counter-culture PC thumb-at-the-nose "statement."

Theater is different that way. I've even seen a few operas
on tv with female altos in male roles.

I Remember In '97 There Was Talk About A Remake of "Cassablanca"With Sean Penn and Julia Roberts.Luckily,Whoever Thought Up That Bit Of Lunacy Shoulda Had The VIPS At Warner Brothers Immediately Demote Him To Translating Forty Year Old Episodes of "Quick McGraw"Into Serbo-Croatian or Urdu or Some Other Hard To Translate Language!!!

1-Didn't Hammer Films already do a remake of "The Wolf Man"?

2-All remakes suck.
