If you have something interesting to do, do it. I don't see why it would matter if the subject matter has been explored before.
Yes. I agree 100%.

I have not seen it. But I don't imagine that's tough. None of them have been spectacular really.

But I do think it's another good example of saying something new& therefore worth the effort even if I don't like it.

You're a good man, Joey.

By the way, have you seen Coppola's Dracula? Because it's pretty fucking spectacular.

Nope but I assume it makes some sense compared to the movie. That movie has some good ideas, though. Just wasn't executed very well.
