The original is considered a classic. Hitchcock, Olivier, Best Picture Oscar. remaking it with inferior talent is about right for 2020.
Okay... We had not seen the originals. :( The ex doesn't want me to delete The Witches one until I get the classic one now. I'll keep me eye out for the other 1940 classic though. Thanks! ;)
(Things have changed a bit for me since the ex lost her job sometime ago (Long story... Covid related), so... {sigh}... having a shadow 24/7 has been... well an issue I must say. Gotta keep the peace tele wise.) :alien:
Routine is key, she loves NeXt, Tehran and Third Day, mild horror (Helstrom), but science fiction films or cable shows (Lovecraft, etc.) are my thing never were hers. Mysteries, , comedies, mysteries... she always loved her Agatha Christie novels.

Me too. I have dog-eared copies of The ABC Murders and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd kicking around someplace. As a rule for Dame Agatha I like the books better than the movies or TV series. For Sherlock Holmes it's sort of the opposite, I like the TV series better than the books. I think this is mostly due to the casting.

Watched Borat tonight. Not great, but ok.
Friend of mine texted that she saw it tonight as well, but that she enjoyed half an edible before she started the movie. I need to ask tomorrow if that made it a better experience.

Thanks again Cab, we appreciate it! :)
Idol, I'm onboard with tele Sherlocks too! Definitely Superior! :)
(Was raised on those old B&W Basil Rathbone films.) :alien:
@Cab Borat II?... gotta watch the edible intake... prolly no difference... save for anything better perhaps. ;)

"The Queen's Gambit" - it is really good :)

Re: Stuff I watched recently...
I'm watching Biggles from 1986 right now. Some not so well known time travel movie. It's not too bad despite it's unpromising imdb rating.
