Interesting article by DVD Savant debating the issue of the virtues and creativity inherent in cinematic remakes. Quite well-written and worthwhile, the norm for Mr. Erickson, to be sure.
The bloated, super-long The Greatest Story Ever Told is on TCM tomorrow afternoon. Even though Sir David directed a few scenes of it as a second-unit director, I think I'll give it a pass - perhaps a Blithe Spirit will suffice. My first Intro to Film Genres will be tomorrow, if that doesn't work out.
Speaking of remakes: I'm also going to revive my political blog at http://lordcutlerbeckett.wordpress.com/. We can hope that blog will be sustainable with college and this blog.
