3. I believe the first starred Ida Lapino, in 1948.

Remakes suck. Always!

Road House

Hollywood has no creativity. They only know how to remake what has gone before. Good or bad. They dupe it all. The problem is, none of the dupes are any good.

I have an idea! Let's remake Psycho.
Bzzzzzzzt! Bad idea, even if one follows the original script.

Hollywood! Idiocy on parade.

And now the comic book publishers are getting into the game. Jeeee-sus! Super Heroes doing impossible things really excites me. I guess I should shred my BS in physics.

Hollywood! Pshaw! The last time I was in Hollywood I knocked on Truman Capote's crypt in the Westwood Memorial Park and invited him to dinner. He did not oblige, the insufferable boor. But at least I was able to kneel at the gravestone of Mel Torme, one of the greatest ever.

Sadly, he doesn't get around much anymore. Sadly, one has to suffer Judy Garland (aka Gumm) in this video.

And there are some performances the transcend Hollywood, like Mel Torme in England.
