I heard someone on the radio today say that remakes are not just Hollywood being lazy retreading an old plot, but it's also the consumer who is lazy in choosing to attend them. Since they know the story there is less likelihood of being disappointed in the story.

They don't do it with awesome old books, so I don't understand why they feel it's good to do to awesome old movies. I think I'll rewrite "The Great Gatsby", but in my version he survives Wilson's bullet, and faces criminal charges for Myrtles death. And, I'll modernize it by putting it on Moon Base Alpha.

And... Sorry about getting distracted by the political junk. I mostly tried to talk about the philosophy and plot of "In Time", and not get distracted by how it's being compared to current political circus in town.
