Same movie, different actors

Spread the love

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of remakes. I don’t quite get the purpose of remaking old films with different actors. They remade “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” for no damn reason, Keanu Reeves is remaking the classic “The Day The Earth Stood Still,” again for no damn reason. They’re remaking “The Hulk” just three years after the last time they released it. And is it just me, or have we already seen this movie:

Israel believes that North Korea has been supplying Syria and Iran with nuclear materials, a Washington defense official told the New York Times. “The Israelis think North Korea is selling to Iran and Syria what little they have left,” he said.

The official added that recent Israeli reconnaissance flights over Syria revealed possible nuclear installations that Israeli officials estimate might have been supplied with material from North Korea.

If only there were some way to know when it’s real and when it’s fiction. If only we had some sort of, oh, I don’t know, let’s call it “News Media” for lack of a better term, that would reliably and doggedly seek out the truth and tell us what they’ve found. Somebody should invent something like that.

    Or possibly the regimes in the countries could open (completely) to UN inspectors. Not the “now you’re in, now you’re not” we’ve seen in the past.

    Remember what happened to the boy who cried wolf? He got eaten. The wolf got full.
