They're remaking one of the best movies ever, the Sound of Music now! :x

For some reason, my vhs recording of Sound of Music abruptly switched to a special on pandas during the wedding scene. If this remake doesn't do that, it loses about 70% of the reason I enjoyed Sound of Music.

Sorry, that has nothing to do with my reasons for hating that movie. I hate over 95% of the musicals I've ever seen. Singing and dancing make some people happy, but they just make me hate everything. There have been plenty of movies that I've enjoyed that don't have tits or explosions or blood, but Sound of Music isn't one of them.

It's one of the movies I grew up with and really got me into music. That and the Music Man (they did the samething, a remake).

Nice try. Other than Skyfall, I couldn't name you the last 5 movies I've seen.

Meh. I like remakes, in a philosophical sense. I'm not going to judge this one until it comes out.

I'm not sure Carrie Underwood does it for me, but she must be better than Julie Andrews.

Are they this desperate to find ideas or do they just figure there's a lot of money to be squuezed out of this? If they were running out of ideas I'd forgive holloywood for their crappy remakes of various successful movies, but I just think the greedy bastards think there's money in this and doesn't care if they taint the legacy in order to roll in some more dough.

I don't think it could possibly be them running out of ideas. There's too many places they could look to for ideas. I know of many book series and other musicals that people would love to see made into films for example

So far, those kinds of movies are either hits (Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Harry Potter for example) or complete misses/fails (Eragon comes to mind). And some just should not be made either way (Twilight for example, freakin' sparkly vampires).

I'd love to see the rest of the Oz books made into movies or a tv series. All we ever get is the first book made over and over again. Now instead of making another book, they are making a prequel and going farther from the rest of the books.

There are over 50 books in the series! Please stop referring to Wizard of Oz as a classic. It's not a classic without the rest. Jack Pumpkin and Raggedy Ann are two characters that were invented in that series.

You... know nothing about my taste in movies, broseph. I don't think Pauline Kael knocked the lack of tits or explosions in her famous review of The Sound of Music. But clearly, anybody who doesn't like a movie you like is some sort of caveman.

Yeah but BAUM wrote only a fraction of 'em. The series lost its sparkle when the creator's touch was lost.
