I don't know why Hollywood can't come up with an original idea instead of messing with the classics.

I prefer they call it something else and let the audience who have seen the original realize what it is and not immediately compare it to the original film before they even see it.Tom B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08555044041861931878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768227493189956785.post-41446379526461369962013-12-30T22:45:53.318-08:002013-12-30T22:45:53.318-08:00Hey Tom, I've been looking around the internet...Hey Tom, I've been looking around the internet, and I find a lot of stories about the remake, but none of the ones I've checked say it's an update.<br />Henry C.
