Is nothing sacred? I saw the Coen Brothers re-imagining of The Ladykillers
the other day. It was dire. Really, *really* dire. I was expecting
something a little better from them and could *not* believe what they had
done to it.

And then there's the remake of The Italian Job. Set in Los Angeles,
ffs.

Mind you, not all remakes are disasters[1]. Bogart's The Maltese
Falcon and Jimmy Stewart's Destry Rides Again were both remakes,
believe it or not.

[1] Most are, though, I agree.
