A public marketplace for the exchange of thoughts, random and otherwise, ideas and information, about crime fiction and occasional other topics.

There are some things, people, events, monuments, that should not be replicated. That is, the painting of Washington crossing the Delaware, the Sistine Chapel, Big Ben, others. Everybody can think of personal favorites, unique events, pictures, things we prefer to view and remember in the original form. I include films in that category of the inviolable. What is the drive to redo significant films? Is is just money? Fame? Misguided overweening ego? So we come to the modern regurgitation of the Bonnie & Clyde story. The original with Warren Beatty, and Faye Dunaway is likely to be a minor masterpiece. The recent disaster is not.
