The Inviolable Sanctity of Originality (And How I Poop On It)

I've said it before. I've said it right to their faces, those drones. I've said it, and I stand by it:

"I do not believe in the sanctity of originality."

It's true, shocking as it sounds, but don't get me wrong; there is nothing I appreciate more than a truly original film. Nothing. Not even free drinks or great sex.

Why, then ("they" often ask), do I have not the slightest issue when a remake of a classic (or a "classic") is announced? Well, take a little journey with me from key to key, and I'll tell you...

...later, that is. ;)
