Not even close.

I've bitched about this before, but what the hell it's worth repeating. It's very annoying when directors remake classic films. First because the film they make is never as good as the original. And once they make it, the original is rarely ever shown again. So instead of showing the Out-of-Towers with Jack Lemmon, the networks only show the boring Steve Martin version. The original Stepford Wives has been replaced by the lackluster imitation, the edge-of-your-seat The Manchurian Candidate by the so-so remake. And, most offensive of all, the poweful 1961 Raisin in the Sun has been usurped by the 2008 tepid made-for-TV version. If it weren't for Turner Classic Movies we would never see the originals again since all the other networks, for some strange reason, seem to show only the third-rate ripoffs.
