How you know you are getting older... you start seeing the remakes of films you saw as a teenager... you have observed a whole movie arc career of a major star (Stallone for example)...   You know you are really getting old when you start seeing remakes of remakes of films you saw as a kid...     Phil Edwards Cinema Arts 26 Vista Avenue Soldiers Point NSW 2317 AUSTRALIA   E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: www.cinemarts.com Phone: (International Dial) 0011 61 2 49847322 Phone:  (Domestic Dial) 02 4984 7322 ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Lee Nash To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 2:56 PM Subject: [MOPO] Are we in remake Hell? My God, man...someone recently pointed me in the direction of the Moviefone website to check out the new Star Wars trailer and while browsing upcoming titles I was struck by the sheer amount of unoriginal movies coming out:   Bewitched, The Bad News Bears, The Longest Yard, The Pink Panther, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, War of the Worlds, Herbie....!!!   I'm disgusted that Hollywood is churning out this crap and even more disgusted that people are going to pay to see 'em.   Do writers nowadays just turn on the TV or reach for a DVD for inspiration?   Sorry, I guess this wasn't exactly movie poster related but sheesh, I had to vent.     Erik   Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
