I really loved Following. But if one was going to remake a Chris Nolan film, it should probably be this one.

There is no reason for them to be remaking Memento - that film is perfect as it is. How long before Fight Club gets remade?

And I did enjoy Following - but the acting was pretty bad in places, which is understandable since it was just his mates he got together

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.

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.

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.
