Took a while before someone had to try to rant that there are no original ideas in Hollywood.

I bet you thought it was original to complain about originality. Ironic that you keep saying that and it still doesn’t apply.

What I forgot to add earlier was: why can’t people make their own GD movies anymore? Write your own story. If I had the privilege of making movies, I’d rather fail on my own work than succeed remaking everyone else’s. (Or: if you actually deserve the privilege, succeed with your own stories.)

Sorry Chris, ANY actor can be replaced. Might not be easy, but ANY actor can be replaced.

Arthur was one of my favorite movies as a kid; is one of my favorite comedies today. I’ve always been positive about Brand even amongst this hate orgy that’s been going on lately, but this is too much. That is Dudley Moore and John Gielgud’s movie. Resolutely. Just because it doesn’t have holy cow status doesn’t mean it should be remade.

This is a bad idea.

I think this is a GOD AWFUL idea. Nobody can replace Dudley Moore or Sir John Gielgud, NOBODY. I am so sick of remakes and all of the justifications for them, I just watched “Arthur” again last week and I still laugh my ass off, it is just as funny today as it was 27 years ago when I saw it in the theaters. This is a remake that in no way shape or form should ever see the light of day. I won’t be seeing it.

Sounds like fun especially if they make it a little more edgie than the first version. I found Arthur a tad sacchariney.
As for a person to dole out insults, I rather think Stephen Fry would be good…instead of slapstick insults have more intelligent, sarcastic digs.
