You know I hate remakes, but, hey, this is just me bitching. Let’s take a look at a couple people who are actually affected: John Carpenter and Dario Argento.

Showgirls - Best Opening Shot Ever?
But I’m talking the shot, the first uninterrupted image, ending at the first cut. Why just the first shot? It’s the first impression of the movie, and you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Star Wars vs Indiana Jones: Deathmatch!
So, Times Online got a little interview with George Lucas, talking Star Wars and Indiana Jones- sequels, of course! He’s noted for being very private and somewhat reclusive, granting few interviews.

They Finally Get Something Right-ish
Even though this is a resurrection of a dead and buried property, I’m altogether relived that this ain’t no remake. I’ve always thought RoboCop was a brilliant movie.

Kill Reverence and You’ve Killed the Hero in Man
Why a remake? Take Jason and call it Friday the 13th: something. Why reuse the same plot lines? We’ve already seen them.

Time To Join The Party
By all accounts, Ledger’s performance is one of the best of his career. It makes be feel a little better when an artist can complete a career-defining work prior to their death, like Stanley Kubrick with Eyes Wide Shut or Warren Zevon and The Wind. I’m hoping it becomes the defining epitaph we all hope it to be.

Lost Genre: Non-Musical
So, one of the things that really gets under my skin is the misclassification of Non-Musicals. There is so much music in the movie that it confuses people.
