Apr. 3rd, 2007 11:53 amThey're remaking Straw Dogs.
Here's the deal, Hollywood: Remakes themselves aren't a bad idea. But remakes of good films are. Remake films that had potential, but ended up sucking. Give us a new take on Waterworld, Paycheck, Cabin Fever, or They Only Kill Their Masters. Movies that all sound great on paper, and which clearly have tons of potential, but which just fail miserably in the final analysis. That will allow you to maintain your current state of abject unoriginality without pissing all over cinematic treasures.
