Egad, just watched some of it. I've flushed better remakes.

1. There are just some things that need to be left alone...
and that's one of 'em. Pretty much any Hitchcock. Can you imagine a North by Northwest remake? Or what they'd do to The Birds or Vertigo?

:scared:

2. If they did NBNW it'd be with Ben Affleck and there would be more explosions than suspense
Or mystery.

3. North by Northwest remake...
With Rob Schneider and Madonna instead of Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint.

4. They basically remade Rear Window.
Turned out decent, but not as brilliant as the original.

7. Apologize for Stephen Baldwin while you are at it too.
I love the Baldwin brothers...except him.

8. The opening scene was cool
Hitch wanted it to be a continuous but was forced to resort to a series of scenes each dissolving into each the next. Hitch would have appreciated the 1998 version, if only for its technical merits.

But aside from the opening, the new version offers nothing.

10. On the up side, I just saw the original AFTER the shit one
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. I love the end when Bates comes in with the knife and you just here a voice in the score yell "NORMAN BATES". Kinda spooky. In the new one, when Vince Vaughn comes in wearing a wig, it's so silly looking I just laugh.

12. I mark that movie as the beginning of the whole "reimagining" thing going on now.
The movie sickens me.
