I was hoping you'd weigh in on this.
It's insanity and Hollywood has lost all self control. There is absolutely no reason to remake this film. It is damn near perfect.
I'm not even a big fan of Memento or anything. Just seems like an exceedingly curious choice for a remake.
Of course you are not.
I watched Bad Words last night. Hmm. mixed feelings on that. I think Bateman did a great job but what a pathetic character. I wasn't sure if the movie was attempting to make me feel for the guy or not. Nice little dark comedy though.

Once they remade Psycho, I knew all bets were off. If you can remake that, you can remake anything.
Even that decision, I get. It had been a few decades since the original, and the concept would play into what was popular at the time (Scream, I Know What You Did, etc.). This just seems...I don't get it. But who knows? Maybe it will be great. I don't know.

Oh, I completely agree with you. That movie looks insufferable.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
