Enter the sushi western.

I don't think there's any movie that's so iconic, so sacrosanct that a remake shouldn't be even attempted. I'm sure some people said that about Ocean's Eleven. I mean, how can you beat the rat pack? But I think the Clooney version is the better. Father of the Bride and Parent Trap are far from iconic, but still the newer versions outshine the former.

That's not to say it isn't a huge risk. If you're going to remake Harvey, you'd better have a top-notch script with something original going for it. I could see Tom Hanks in the role, maybe.

The Wicker Man.

Oh no, sorry. That's not about a remake ever being attempted, it's just about such a limp sandwich of a remake being made.

Sukiyaki Western Django

Quote:

Sukiyaki Western Django (スキヤキウェスタンジャンゴ, Sukiyaki Uesutan Jango?) is a 2007 Japanese film by Takashi Miike. The title of this English language western refers to the Japanese dish, sukiyaki, as well as Sergio Corbucci's spaghetti western film, Django. It also takes inspiration from the "Man with No Name" stock character variously used in the spaghetti western genre but most notably in Akira Kurosawa's jidaigeki film Yojimbo.

Inspired by the historical rivalry between the Genji and Heike clans, which ushered in the era of samurai dominance in Japanese history, Sukiyaki Western Django is set "a few hundred years after the Genpei War". The Genji and Heike gangs face off in a town named "Yuta" in "Nevata", when a deadly gunman comes into town to help a prostitute get revenge on the warring gangs. The film contains numerous references both to the historical Genpei War and to Wars of the Roses, as well as the films Yojimbo and Django.

It's pretty awesome. I have it at home. Grindhouse meets the Wild West. The demented love child of Quentin Tarrantino and John Ford.

One time at this comic book convention, a heckler tried to slam the maker of the new Superman move, asking him "Why did you have to change the costume?" (trying to make a point for purism) and the guy replied "Change it from what?" and went on to explain how the Superman costume the heckler was regarding as the "correct" one had itself been changed from the real, original costume.

I get the idea flint is trying to make a point.

Or whatever the Chinese version of undercooked fish is called ...

Of course, you could just make some popcorn and watch 7 Samurai ...
