If Hitch Weren't So Fat, He'd Roll Over in His Grave

Kenneth Branagh was on Craig Ferguson last night (promoting the new Sleuth) and when asked about remakes he commented how he doesn't really have a problem with them, after all he is about to do his sixth production of Hamlet.

Which I agree with. I don't really have a problem with remakes, just bad ones. Since the first Birds isn't all that good when done by a master I don't really have any hopes for a remake unless it goes in a significantly different direction.

Of course, I just watched part of Mogambo which not only was a remake of Red Dust from 20 years earlier but the second remake of it done.
