Is it a waste of time?

I don't remember it much at all. If I had to guess, probably it's not a total waste of time, especially if you like noir. (I think it's noir, anyway.)

They did remake The Postman Always Rings Twice - Jack Nicholson & Jessica Lange. It was very sweaty, from what I remember.

Ha, that's more like it.

According to Wiki, it's been made four times. The Nicholson one was good, I remember. He's a dirty bugger, of course.

Sweaty Jessica Lange - Jon would hit that.

They should do Dune again.

I just checked - apparently they have. It comes out in December.

[Doctor Phibes]

I wonder if anybody's considered remaking Batman.

They should remake Godfather just to fix that horrible stage punch in the Sonny/Carlo street fight.

What???

Holy Crap. I'm excited!

David Lynch's "Dune" had one great scene - where the Guild Navigator talks to the Emperor. I loved the translation...

I'm sure they'll fuck it up.

I need to re-read the book

Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho?

Really?

[Doctor Phibes]

I quite liked Sting as Feyd Rautha in David Lynch's version - there was a touch of punk rock to him. It doesn't look as though the character is in the 2020 film, which would be a shame.
