- Rolando,
-
- To your most excellent and provocative list, let's add:
-
- Make no remakes of "hit" foreign films, for the culturally insular and
- pinheaded among us. Or maybe get Jack (who-*is*-this-guy-who-presumes-to-
- speak-for Hollywood-and-us?) Valenti to establish a new rating: "This film
- may be viewed by adults of any age who can read subtitles in general, can
- appreciate actors not regularly appearing in "People," and have seen the
- earlier (and probably better) version of this film in particular."
-
- How's that? (I forgot to douse myself with flame retardant this morning.)

- P.S. To the member who wanted to know about that commercial for "The Vanish-
- ing" (forgot your name): it must have been advertising the remake of that
- foreign film. There's one due out for "La Femme Nikita," too. Ce la vie.
