May 25, 2011 7:31 pm Jaws and Goodfellas aren't really snooty are they? A Clockwork Orange is artsy fartsy because it has strong surrealist elements and because it is Kubrick, who didn't really care if films made sense or not (2001 A Space Odessey) the craft is what was important to him. Nowadays, because of the box office you gotta have a coherent plot, even Spielberg. I guess artsy fartsy is only university students who do black and white sexual exploration pieces.

May 25, 2011 7:10 pm But as I said previously, loving these articles, as well as the Where Do I Start (awesome) so please keep them coming Arrant!

May 25, 2011 7:08 pm @RoiVampire. What are you on? Reboots are definitely needed, especially when a studio exec ruins the source material and that is what angers me the most (and I have been told I get angry lot on this site, but I call it passion) So Batman Begins wasn't a necessary reboot? What about Incredible Hulk? Was watching Blade on Sky MoviesAction with my girlfriend the other night, ten years on and it still is as good as I remember it, and I saw the film on DVD when I was 9. She knows nothing about comics but she enjoyed it, and if that type of graphic violence can appeal to a girl then your on to a winner. You reboot when the character has been butchered, not when it's spot on. As for the Fantastic Four (just hard to do with all the cosmic/parallel dimensions) and Daredevil (poisoned chalice, just ask Ben Affleck), those films ain't gonna get made for a long time. Marvel is juggling all the Avengers + Ghost Rider. Why reboot a classic?

May 25, 2011 2:12 pm By the way, bonus question is mine, in the book he is 15 (film 17)

May 25, 2011 2:10 pm It's all about the milk plus and ultra violence

May 25, 2011 2:06 pm Great article though. Am loving these Reboot/Remake & Where Do I Start articles by Arrant. Keep up the good work mate!

May 25, 2011 2:00 pm I agree, reboot is not needed. The first film was about a perfect comic book superhero film adaptation as you can get. Stephen Dorff really steals that movie as Deacon Frost, his whole look in that film is awesome, from the hair to the clothes. I think other Marvel properties should be looked at first, like a Fantastic Four reboot.

May 25, 2011 9:16 am Liked this episode, learned a lot about a character I didn't really care about nor had the inclination to read and that's what can be so terrific about these shows. Thought I would say that before this account gets locked as well. But I'll be back, maybe under a different name, maybe not
