What, AGAIN?!

What do all of these movies have in common?

Hollywood is remaking them.

Yes, they will be recalled in the neverending "art" of not having a clue.

Unnecessary. (Very few remakes are.)

The only upshot is the new The NeverEnding Story will allegedly be more faithful to the book, able to do parts glossed over in the first movie by F/X constraints. Also, for those of you who have not read it, the film only used the first third of Michael Ende's amazing novel.

And another bit of good news in this sad sea of re-dos:
A friend told me that the Rosemary's Baby remake, which I ranted about in the post Stop the Inanity! has been kiboshed.

Still Sighing.

Here's more to sigh about.

Each of these are reportedly being remade:

Romancing the Stone
They Live
Arthur
Captain Blood

Not that I am particularly sighing over They Live. I worked in a movie theater at the time this hit the theaters and saw the better portion of it. No offense to anyone who liked it, but ANY amount of rewriting could only help that flick. But the others... need I say it? Just look at Charlie Brown.
