Behold: The Good, The Bad, & The Weird

Enter the sushi western.

Or whatever the Chinese version of undercooked fish is called ...

Of course, you could just make some popcorn and watch 7 Samurai ...

I don't think there's any movie that's so iconic, so sacrosanct that a remake shouldn't be even attempted. I'm sure some people said that about Ocean's Eleven. I mean, how can you beat the rat pack? But I think the Clooney version is the better. Father of the Bride and Parent Trap are far from iconic, but still the newer versions outshine the former.

That's not to say it isn't a huge risk. If you're going to remake Harvey, you'd better have a top-notch script with something original going for it. I could see Tom Hanks in the role, maybe.

wish granted.

Sukiyaki Western Django

Quote:

Sukiyaki Western Django (スキヤキウェスタンジャンゴ, Sukiyaki Uesutan Jango?) is a 2007 Japanese film by Takashi Miike. The title of this English language western refers to the Japanese dish, sukiyaki, as well as Sergio Corbucci's spaghetti western film, Django. It also takes inspiration from the "Man with No Name" stock character variously used in the spaghetti western genre but most notably in Akira Kurosawa's jidaigeki film Yojimbo.

Inspired by the historical rivalry between the Genji and Heike clans, which ushered in the era of samurai dominance in Japanese history, Sukiyaki Western Django is set "a few hundred years after the Genpei War". The Genji and Heike gangs face off in a town named "Yuta" in "Nevata", when a deadly gunman comes into town to help a prostitute get revenge on the warring gangs. The film contains numerous references both to the historical Genpei War and to Wars of the Roses, as well as the films Yojimbo and Django.

It's pretty awesome. I have it at home. Grindhouse meets the Wild West. The demented love child of Quentin Tarrantino and John Ford.

Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samurai

Umm... yeah, Flint is completely right the Coen Bros True Grit is the best damn movie I've seen in a theatre in a long long time. I will now do the upside down thing and buy the novel. I'm going to guess that a 2010 audience is much more prepared for an intense 14 yo Mattie than the 1969 audience would have been. Great dialogue and Blackie will make you misty.

The Wicker Man.

Oh no, sorry. That's not about a remake ever being attempted, it's just about such a limp sandwich of a remake being made.

I loved True Grit remake. It was so simply and beautifully done. I never saw the original.
