I just have to say that was a post most deserving of mojo, Tref!
I like to use my mojo for good, and as such have no problem with it being discussed. I'd rather people talk it out before they dish out the negs, but that's my own opinion and I realise everyone has their criteria for mojo-distribution. While I don't think it's healthy to obsess over the system, I think it's equally unhealthy to to lay a blanket 'no talking about you-know-what'- I've seen silly things happen when that rule is applied, and I think we're all better than that.
'Nuff derail- as far as the remakes go, I've no problem if they are good remakes. It's hard to improve on Mr. Hitchcock, though. If someone wants to expend the time, money and energy to try to do so, more power to them. It doesn't take away from the original; if anything, it enhances it.
