Shh! Don't encourage them. There's an executive at Universal right now saying to himself, "Hey maybe I can divert the whole Kong fiasco with a remake of Good Times! Hey wait a sec! Jim Carrey as JJ! That's it!"
I think Jason's statement about the new Kong "fiasco" is self-explanatory... but then my overt skepticism about this film helped shut down the original Jackson Kong thread, so I'll just keep quiet.
Sorry guys. Just making a little joke regarding all that has been said about Kong's imminent failure at the box office. Sometimes I think I'm funnier than I actually am - a small blunder in my personality of which I'm sure my wife will attest to.
Maybe the new version of YOURS, MINE AND OURS qualifies as an obscure remake. I'm not sure how many non-movie buffs or younger viewers, especially, know about the original with Fonda and Ball... or even who Fonda and Ball were!
Generally they aren't as obscure though many are outside the knowledge of non-film buffs, but Turner Classics is featuring originals of remakes this month. So you get Shop Around the Corner, Death Takes a Holiday, etc. The month is jam packed with them.
