Will it still be boring?
Your question is based on a false premise.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
eta: I take that back
I was gonna say. Pelham 1-2-3? Really?
To answer my own question, original Casino Royale was a mess.

JZ will make the case that the Julia Ormond/Harrison Ford Sabrina is better written and cast than the original with Audrey.
She can make the case, but my Audrey love is too great to admit she is right.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hitchcock's remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much is supposed to be better than his original, right? I've only seen the remake.

Oh, I'd love that Fiona if it's readily available.
I don't know about readily available, but I have a text file which I can email you. Same email address as in 2006...?
At least it's exclusive new information, as I'd be surprised if anyone other than me ever has used it yet.

Ann, that's a ferret.
To answer my own question, original Casino Royale was a mess.
But is it fair to call the Daniel Craig movie a remake? They're completely different movies.

Arguably they are both also literary adapations from the same source and so not really remakes.
