Not artistically, no. There are, however, numerous instances of a remake causing the original to disappear, either due to rights or the studio burying the superior product. I am trying now to track down a film that hasn't been seen since the early 1930s, because it was remade. https://t.co/dzrM56Jjfu — Farran Nehme (@selfstyledsiren) September 20,…

It never went further than that. It’s a very big conversation because he was my professional collaborator, and around really important things in my life. And he was kind to me. He was so generous with me. And it felt authentic to me. It didn’t feel like this was — what’s the word, when you’re conditionally kind because you want something? ‘Transactional.’ It didn’t feel like that. It’s an important conversation, and it makes me very sad — personally sad. I’m sad for his family. I’m sad for the women that were hurt. I’m sad for him. And I wish him healing so that he can somehow try to make reparations for the damage that he has done.”

I may be in the aftermath phase, examining and trying to heal the sinister bite at the core of body-business capitalism, but I also know that for all the downsides, that silvery air of stripping your way to material advancement is still bracing and real — right down to the dressing-room camaraderie, designer purses, and bloody shoes. Regardless of whether a hustler’s coming up, cruising along, or crashing down, I’m rooting for her. And so is this groundbreaking film.

She’s the locomotive. All the men are jumping on and off, but it’s all about her. The same with The Palm Beach Story … I think all those ladies are his mother.”

I’ll keep saying this — the entire “Disney bribes critics” conspiracy was started by Max Landis. When pressed by critics for the names of these people taking bribes, he promptly backed down and said he could be mistaken. Yet the conspiracy persists. https://t.co/wlFthv0wxz — ASHLEY LYNCH ² ⁻ ᵀᴴᴱ ᴿᴱⱽᴱᴺᴳᴱ (@ashleylynch) September 18, 2019
