[horseshoes]

Why do they bother Count? If it aint broken........

[boxtops]

Sorry no, we're watching the rugby!

[Count-A-Strong]

Dunno. It was so bad I went out with the dog and a a nice walk watching the sun go down.

[Invictas]

Hi there Count,
Now if we are talking dire remakes,get this.
Emma Thompson is wprking on a remake of the musical My Fair Lady!
She has cast Bob Hoskins as Mr Doolittle,Carey Mulligan as Eliza,BUT~are you ready for this,who is the Prof Higgins?







Hugh Grant!


Well, as horseshoes says If it ain't broken...................

Well from the above it certainly WILL be broken!

[MarkRae]

I don't understand the penchant for remaking classic films over the last few years. I can only assume that the movie industry has run out of ideas...

[Count-A-Strong]

One I won't be rushing out to watch or buy.

[sandyRoe]

I once watched a few minutes of a remake of Dr Zhivago. As others have said, if it's not broke don't fix it.

[naomi24]

A remake of Dr Zhivago?!!!! Sacrilege! Sandy, wash your mouth out!!

[sandyRoe]

It was a DVD free with the Mail, as I remember.

[naomi24]

Who was in it?

[sandyRoe]

A load of young nonentities.

[sandyRoe]

Well, Keira Knightly and Sam Neill amongst others. But they're still small beer compared to Rita Tushingham, Julie Christie, Rod Steiger, and the rest...

[naomi24]

Oh I agree Sandy. I saw Keira Knightley in Pride & Predjudice. Lizzie Bennett she ain’t!

[askyourgran]

I felt the same about the Thomas Crown Affair. The original was best.

[petal54]

agree,also is the film tomorrow(10,000 years BC) a rehash?

[imhotep]

Yes, I somewhat agree with Count-A-Strong.The remake wasn't as good as the original film that I've got on DVD.
This is my favourite part of the original film.I wouldn't mind this bronze giant guarding my treasures.Before I give you the link, let me just tighten the screw behind his ankle ....
