Hmm, it is surprising how tilted towards the other side this thread is compared to the one a few months ago. So let me help push things back the "right" way. ^_~

Well, I'd say you did it. ;)

I think a lot of the opinions expressed in the early part of this thread were maybe suppressed by peer-pressure from some of you heavy weights on this subject.

I'll say it again- I'm more concerned with the story than the film itself. The parts of the SE that offend me are the changes that affect the story.

Though I will concede that I would also like to see something more original for film history sake.
