Because Everything’s Political

One more thing…

How dare the American mass-media remake The Wicker Man. Or rather, make their own ‘horror’ type film pertaining to be The Wicker Man?

There were no bees. It was about the human phychology and human ‘evil’. About how ‘normality’ is classed. About difffering conceptions of religion. It had scary bits, but it was not you common-run-of-the-mill horro flick. It was very British. It was NOT about bees.

Why is the movie industry so interested in remaking things these days? Employ people to write new stuff and look to the sucess of such films as Alfie, The Italian Job and The Omen to see how much appitite there is for such shit.

Just after I read this, I saw that Peter Jackson (I know he’s from New Zealand, but still working for Hollywood) is planning on re-making the Dam Busters. Thought I’d really make your day by telling you about it :)

Lets just hope they change the name of the black labrador this time round… You would’ve thought he’d learned of his mistake with King Kong. Oh these kiwis…
