I just watched Harvey and loved it, too. As you can see, I loved it this much.

Kung Fu Hustle.
Ugh. Nowhere near as good as Shaolin Soccer. A few chuckles, but I was bored the rest of the time and even fell asleep towards the end. |

Shintaro Katsu's Zatoichi (1989)
meh. Not as good as the more recent remake that I blathered on about. It has that disconnected plot problem that seems to be required of Samurai movies. And Monty Python blood spurting. I'm sure someone was saying "It's just a flesh wound" but it didn't make it into the subtitles because it wasn't considered primary dialog.

But thought I'd comment on this as I bought the boxed set the other week. It's weird - it wasn't how I remembered it at all. I liked it more. For example when I watched it with my b/f at 17 I found Britt Ekland's seduction scheme really cringeworthy. Rewatching it I can understand why my b/f went quiet! It took a film to make me realise my teen self was a prude! Loved it. The DVD could have done with a better commentary. But then I've been spoiled by The League of Gentlemen who can talk randomly about anything & make me laugh (if anyone has the Tigon DVD for Blood on Satan's Claw they'll understand) Wolf - I enjoyed Howl's Moving Castle, but it was a children's book I was totally in love with - and no Howl on screen could be all he was in the book. Sulky, selfish, egotistic yet still wonderful? It had different depths though, so I admired it. And Red Dwarf finally. HM & Ibram I applaud your taste in DVDs. It's mostly been forgotten over here, but my Dad & I were such Red Dwarf fans at the time. His best Christmas presnt in the 90s was the RD bomber jacket I bought him. I was totally in love with Goalpost Head for a while. Something about the nostrils. I won't pay BBC prices, but you've inspired me to look it up on eBay. Anyway - tonight am going home to watch Memoirs of a Geisha. I've been lent it. Just to see if it was my state of mind that made me hate it at the cinema.

Nononononono.....
I understand it was just out of curiosity. But I felt a shiver go down my spine when I saw the poster. WHY?! One of the few issues people I know have against Americans is the need Hollywood has to remake foreign films (inc British in that). Sad that Trainspotting had to be redubbed for the American market. Worse that someone somewhere thought they could improve by relocating The Wicker Man.

This was exactly the kind of curiosity that kills the cat. Maybe I just wanted to see how horrible it was, so I could bitch about it.

TV, on the other hand, seems to be a continuous stream of remakes of British shows these days...

Currently I am in middle of season 9 of Stargate SG-1. It is one of my favorite sci-fi shows on tv... although I've had mixed feelings about it since they changed up the cast a bit. Plus, now they are cancelling it after the 10th season, and I'm sure they will leave a lot of unanswered questions and leave the fans hanging for more.
Other than that, I recently watched the Three Amigos. And I'm not talkin bout no old white guys, I'm talkin about the comedy dvd of Carlos Mencia and two other Mexican comedians. Thats good stuff right there.

I just read that they might remake Harvey. That's just ridiculous. Make them stop!

We don't have to shoot this film the primitive way it was done in the past, simply imagining the invisible imaginary rabbit.
