DL: WB wants [RZEME] to direct a straight remake of 1939's Wizard of Oz. on Nov 16, 16:21
No. Original. Ideas. Left. {nm} on Nov 16, 16:28
1939 Wizard of Oz wasnt an original idea. Its based on a book published 39 years earlier. {nm} on Nov 16, 17:06
But this is more like GVSAN's Psycho, than the typical remake. {nm} on Nov 16, 17:14
I'm not disagreeing that its a dumb idea. I just don't get the frustration over remakes. No Idea Left? Agree. Is that a problem? Nope {nm} on Nov 16, 17:20
Not my point. Remaking classics is lame, no matter what they were based on... on Nov 16, 17:16

"I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones." John Cage {nm} on Nov 16, 17:26
I'm sticking with Goddard. He made movies. I for one am happy to live it a world with remakes and recycled ideas cause I hate to think of {nm} on Nov 16, 17:31
losing the movies made from old parts. {nm} on Nov 16, 17:31
Except the old movies are *preserved* in their original form, true to their time, and updating them... on Nov 16, 17:39
That means no Cronenberg's The Fly, Carpenter's The Thing, Herzog's Nosferatu, Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers. No Let Me In {nm} on Nov 16, 17:44
Do I want people to see Point Blank instead of Payback? Hell yeah, but its never an absolute black and white issue {nm} on Nov 16, 17:48
And Demme's Manchurian Candidate... Agreed, there should be some exceptions, where there is genuine NEW VISION. on Nov 16, 17:51
with you on all three points. and I thought I was the only one who liked the Manchurian Candidate redux {nm} on Nov 16, 17:58
One of my all-time faves. And Schrader's Cat People is a guilty pleasure. {nm} on Nov 16, 18:03
Now that is a great quote. (So is the Cage one, btw). on Nov 17, 00:30
Honestly, I first saw it in this Jarmusch quote (which is equally as good) on Nov 17, 10:11
and your blog entry was a great read {nm} on Nov 17, 10:11
I feared this might happen someday. I echo the sentiments of the comment section....leave Oz alone. {nm} on Nov 16, 17:29
Hollywood, you suck. Time to close up shop. {nm} on Nov 16, 17:31
Says the person who doesn't bother to trade any stocks... {nm} on Nov 17, 06:23
