Thanks for the links, KC. Only one thing, I think it's director Ingmar Bergman who will be on the new Swedish bills.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, KC. I wondered about the surge in traffic on that post.
ReplyDeleteAbout the TO CATCH A THIEF remake, I'm sure it will be an exciting film. I just wish they wouldn't use this title.
The author states that the movie will be "more modern and ‘gadgety,’" and will include "a lot of heists and action sequences."
In short, it will be just like every other action film out there these days. I'll bet the plot will take a back seat to the shooting and car crashes.

That was a fascinating post Java. I'm glad you picked up some extra traffic.
ReplyDeleteI don't have high hopes for a To Catch a Thief remake. It sounds like the typical remake: they may manage to get some of the words right, but they won't get the music (figuratively speaking--lol). It's a shame, because there are so many great new stories out there still to be told.
