And I do agree...Ah, I share your dismay (at times). And I do agree about "Arthur" - not funny the first time. But - and I'm taking a deep breath here and coming from a positive place - if every original was the end, we'd never seen another Shakespeare play (or film). I tend to be cranky about re-makes of classics (not Arthur - who cares?) - but I try to approach them as without the original lurking in my mind. Agreed that is sometimes really hard! I did like "True Grit" for many reasons (nice to see a real western, good acting) and am hanging in with "Mildred Pierce." Totally agree that the "comedies" are just dismal, but look at all the money they make! Hollywood plays to the adolescent mentality and if you are anything remotely resembling a grown-up, either in age or taste, better beat it to TCM! And - if anyone gets the bright idea of re-making Citizen Kane - I'm outta here!FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.com
