Songs carry different weight for me than films do, though. I'm glad there are many different versions of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, each one is wonderful in it's own way. I think there is a lot more latitude with a song than there is for a film. It's a lesser commitment on both my part and the part of the artist. I can give up 3 minutes to a bad cover song, but, with a bad film remake, I just want those 2 hours of my life back.
