[b]Original movies! [/b]

A remade book, a reprinted copy of an original book is simply the same story retold. But someone who writes fanfiction of some original book is good too but can be hit or miss. 

I liked the song [i]Bad Company[/i] by Bad Company (Paul Rodgers) forty years ago. Still do. Five Finger Death Punch made a remake of that classic rock song. It is ok, but the original is still better. Metallica, one of my favorite rock bands made a cover of Bob Seger’s [i]Turn the Page[/i]. I LOVE BOTH! The differences between the two are subtle. I have been listening/comparing both for ten years and I LOVE BOTH! Neither is better. James Hetfield accentuates some words differently than Seger. They are both good.

It is uncommon someone remakes a movie 25+ years later and gets a hit. Frank Sinatra’s [i]Manchurian Candidate[/i] is much better than Denzel Washington’s. [i]Dune[/i]? Meh…both sucked! [i]Planet of the Apes[/i] remakes were better simply because CGI is thing today, but not 50 years ago. Honestly, I have to take each movie one at a time. But traditionally, the original was better than the remake.
