Yeah, the original is something else. This remake looks pretty fucking pointless.

'Pointless' and 'unnecessary' are popping up in a lot of these reviews.
I think I'm going to revisit the original tonight. Been awhile.

Spike Lee movies are usually either good or (more often) bad in a weird enough way that they're at least interesting.
