I just watched the remake of The Women the other day. I thought it was pretty cute, actually, and I was expecting dreadful.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I liked it. But I've only seen snippets of the original.

I'm with askye -- I'm looking forward to the day someone besides George takes a crack at the Star Wars movies.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, you're going to regret that when Michael Bay is finally ready to move on from the Transformers franchise.

Not as much as if Uwe Boll decided too.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
But Boll would have to make movies based on the Star Wars video games rather than the movies, so I wouldn't be familiar enough with the source material to feel outrage.

You mean beyond the outrage of Uwe Boll just existing and making movies?

I can't see the point in remaking something that was done nearly perfectly the first time around.
I'm generally not fond of remakes, especially of Hitchcock, but, considering he remade his own work, it would be hard to argue against a remake of Rebecca (which I love) when he had to drastically change a key element of the story due to studio influence. (See also: Suspicion. )
