yes it easy money making - and hence lazy...in my book

its the same with music and taking a twenty year old sample and adding a beat and rereleasing it - its all about money, but its very lazy...and unimaginative...

you can appreciate a good original movie, without having to go and remake it...

a crap movie then should remain a crap movie and not be revisited...

there are plenty of decent new movies being made without the call for more crappy remakes...

what was the last decent remake that you saw....

Well, that just like, your opinion man.

Yeah, most people do seem to consider the remake to be utter shite, and it is not something that was really necessary, but I didn't mind it so much.

I think my liking of the film stems more from the experiment Gus Van Sant was attempting with the film.

Oh, and renowned drunkard and amazing Cinematographer Christopher Doyle shot the film too.
