I have an early class in the morning but I can't stop watching this mess.

I like how Aunt March has a parrot on her shoulder like a pirate. Just like Louisa May Alcott wrote it.

Oh, Jo, that lovely hair.

"Reboot" and "Reimagining" is just a way to pretend you're not remaking a movie and hope the public gives them a break. Movies like TOTAL RECALL is nothing but a retread. Just milking a familiar title. I could go on for hours on how much I loathe the "Bewitched" movie, but when a filmmaker seems to have contempt for the original material, it shows.

Tim Burton has made a career of sullying about every property he's "Reimagined".

Other remakes I approve of are The Italian Job and Ocean's Eleven. I've yelled at my kids, and theatened to disown them, for watching the remake of Ice Castles.

And I can't decide which version of A Christmas Carol I prefer. It's either Susan Lucci in Ebbie, or Vanessa Williams in A Diva Christmas Carol.

After Planet of the Apes, Burton should have been restricted by law from touching any pre existing movie or TV property again!

Haha some of those Toei adaptations were pretty great. Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki adapted Anne of Green Gables before they had success with Nausicaa and their other movies, and I think it's pretty amazing-particularly the attention paid to details, like washing the dishes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9tBynCEzfU

(It also helped that I had to watch at least one French show a week, and the French dubs were pretty well done--we didn't get Little Women, though...).

I haven't read the entire thread but 1939's THE WIZARD OF OZ is also a remake. According to Wikipedia, there have been 4 or 5 attempts, of varying degrees, before MGM made the musical.

Peter Pan, with Jason Isaacs, is probably my favorite remake. But would you call it a remake or just a retelling?

I don't think of literary adaptations as remakes. So I wouldn't think of the various Draculas, Sherlocks, or Alices in Wonderland as remakes.

Testify Taz! Not one Burton remake is better, but he keeps doing them.
