INDIE ANDYY

Ok. Stop it. All of you. Stop remaking movies. Stop remaking good foreign films to suit lame American audiences who refuse to read subtitles. Stop remaking classic American films because the youth doesn’t understand why there is no color or nudity.

Now, the picture above creates a new issue. DO NOT REMAKE A THREE YEAR OLD FILM, THAT IS ALREADY IN ENGLISH. Sure, it was technically a British film; and yeah, it was played mostly at art house theaters and didn’t make money. But you know what? Sometimes the best films out there aren’t seen, or don’t make money. They are the ones I still try to call art versus just being a product.

Death at a Funeral (2007) was art. Death At a Funeral (2010) will be a shitty, knock-off product.

ETA: I’d like to think that films are art. When I called the original version art, I meant that it was likely made with that sense in mind; certainly more so than the 2010 version will be. They’re making a product to make money by remaking a rather good British film.
