WTF Stories of the Week

I don't mind remakes. There are a lot of bad remakes. But there are also a lot of good (such as the recent Karate Kid) or even great (such as The Maltese Falcon and The Wizard of Oz) remakes. Many well respected movies and TV shows are remakes of foreign titles.

If an attempt to redo it as an American version fails, oh well. Nothing lost except somebody else's money. If it succeeds then we all win.

What'll likely happen is it will be just as lame as the original (yes, Dr. Who is lame; yes, this is based on watching only two very lame episodes; however, my taste is perfect so I'm right) and yet somehow this time that will be held against it.
