I'm not a big fan of Johnny Depp's to begin with, and I doubt he can match William Powell's droll delivery of lines (and the fabulous way he pours drinks)Roving Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16558109724850339616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-31668152326826647352011-05-11T09:38:49.414-07:002011-05-11T09:38:49.414-07:00@Juju - I KNOW!

I shudder to think who might be cast as Nora!<br /><br />@Kristin - We can hope but somehow I doubt it. ;) With Johnny Depp as star...yeah it will make some $ I'm sure.<br /><br />@Charleybrown - You are SO right! Some remakes work, but more often than not they are poor, shadowy imitations of the originals. They should've checked with either of us first, LOL!<br /><br />@Ryan G - Thanks for stopping by & commenting. I whole-heartedly agree.<br /><br />I have to say it does my heart good to hear from so many Thin Man movie fans! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-19938025358327586612011-05-10T17:28:40.365-07:002011-05-10T17:28:40.365-07:00What a wretched idea!

I get so tired by the lack of originality by the film industry when we continue to see so many recycled films. Some remakes have worked but honestly, I feel insulted when producers keep handing us the same old movies again and again... definitely a pet peeve of mine!<br />They obviously should have consulted with you first before even considering an updated Thin Man!Charleybrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411948723536117366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-80014313253522351812011-05-10T13:24:13.827-07:002011-05-10T13:24:13.827-07:00I can guarantee you this...I won't be plunking...I can guarantee you this...I won't be plunking down money at the theatre to see it.

And nobody could ever even come close to Myrna Loy. <br /><br />Maybe this will be one of those remakes that you hear about but never actually comes about. :)<br /><br />~KristinKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592919145644124930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-32975684433214551822011-05-10T12:20:18.062-07:002011-05-10T12:20:18.062-07:00Yikes!

Even MORE disturbing: Did you see that they plan to keep it in the 1930s time frame but with modern attitude? What the heck?<br /><br />I just don't see this as a good thing no matter how you look at it. Even though I do like to look at Johnny Depp.Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-15681188195424025652011-05-10T12:00:57.762-07:002011-05-10T12:00:57.762-07:00Ah that ain't right!
