You're the second person I've heard describe it like this, and it just confirms my lack of need to see it.

Of course, my distaste for the slew of remakes that are being vomitted out of Hollywood already pretty much made my decission for me. As well as the fact that I've seen the original so many times that I really don't need to see it in any form ever again.

I could not have expressed this better myself GD. Memories of my girlish crush on Kurt Russell notwithstanding, I won't darken the door of the multiplex for this one.

"Vomitted out of Hollywood" is a fabulous line. In the immortal words of Auntie Mame, "How VI-vid"
