I'm not sure many people making movies could accept the idea that there's any conceivable remake we *don't* need.

Raquel Welch…dropped on top of you?

I assume Dr. Reasonable wants his perspective to be clear, as it may cast his comments in a different light than most here, but is reasonable enough not to take for granted that everyone reads every one of his comments. Settle down, nutters.
