Certainly the mistake makes no difference to his overall argument, FaF is still a sequel.<br /><br />Moreover, you can't deflect criticism of overuse of adaptation by pointing out adaptations have been around forever, any more than you could argue fears over swine flu becoming a pandemic are pointless because people have been catching flu for centuries. <br /><br />None of which is to say I necessarily agree with MGK's actual argument(though I'm sifting through some data to get a better idea of the statistics).SpaceSquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760939592584995876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505812700967330296.post-57745973490963237932009-06-22T18:16:19.272+01:002009-06-22T18:16:19.272+01:00Well that guy kinda hobbles himself when he tries ...Well that guy kinda hobbles himself when he tries to claim The Fast And The Furious is a remake. Ok there may be a film with the same name from the 50's but nothing else is even remotely connected. <br /><br />Paul Haggis' Crash isn't remake of 'Crash' just becuase it's got the same name.<br /><br />I note he also throws in 'daptations to have a go at, which is kind of stretching the ponit. Adaptations of various books and things has been filmmaking staple since day one. No adaptation no Godfather is but one example. <br /><br />So I feel no blood pressure rising, because at least on this topic this guys seems to be, well, an idiot.Goodernoreply@blogger.com
