Ladykillers remake - Page 2 - Britmovie

I could say that the Hollywood owners are trying to co-opt the Anglo lit-film tradition to their palace (BTW - Hollywood is not America, but a fiefdom to itself), but I rather think that they just lack imagination to create something new.

The problem with Hollywood comedies today is that they still depend on the couhter-cultural mentality and phyrric attitude of the 60s and have debased to a point where it can only produce vulgar and frankly banal comedies. One can't waste a culture, the way Hollywood has, and feign to be cultured.

Yes, the British films are best in the British original and make sense in the British original and frankly will ever be better in the British original.
