NO, WRONG.

I dunno, are you intentionally mixing up the analogy, or is your reading comprehension really this bad?

...

Obviously, Jackson's trilogy didn't REALLY live up to the challenge.

Well it's official now, so accept it.

Yes, and I rebutted that. It's an invalid, and completely arbitrary position that isn't justified by anything whatsoever (it also doesn't hold water).

NO. THAT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF A FINISHED MOVIE. Got it?

...

well, it CAN turn out good. Specific "ideas" how to do it, can obviously just as well be poor.


...

No validity in "remaking a work in its own medium is wrong" at all.


...

All your arguments are pretty arbitrary, and uninteresting both to criticism, and the creative process

What I don't get, I wasn't (correctly) rebutting you with these quotes, so why get so angry?

Oh, and SHIT, how could I have forgotten about The Fly?
The old version... yea.


Then again, it was based on a short story :DD
Just read that up, though.
