ARGH! Hollywood, grow a fucking spine and show some originality!
* LESS remakes / retellings / reimaginings of old TV shows and movies
(except for Battlestar Galactica and Oceans Eleven, they kicked ass)!
* LESS remakes of Japanese horror movies (except The Grudge)! If you
must rely on a book for material, at least make it *good* a la
Bourne {Identity|Supremacy} and High Fidelity.
* MORE strange Lynchian lesbian snogfests with impenetrable plots,
preferably starring Famke Janssen and Naomi Watts!
* MORE gamblefests like Requiem for a Dream, Clerks, Lost in Translation,
and anything by the Cohen Brothers (note NOT Farrelly Brothers!)
SPINE!!!
Also, NO-ONE should play Hannibal Smith but George Peppard, and I fully
understand the problems this poses :)
