- Hello Everone,
-
- Just wonderin if anyone knows where I might be able to get a copy of
- a limited edition James Dean Laserdisc set that contained East of Eden,
- Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant along with some other junk. I saw this
- particular box set in a Tower Records in Austin, TX. I have been unable
- to find it here in my own hometown and have recently found out that it
- was a limited edition item so it's probably out of production. Any help
- would be greatly appreciated. I'd also like to add something to the
- discussion of remakes. I do agree with some of you that most remakes
- are total trash which simply try to cash in on the popularity of the
- original. There have been ,however, some remakes which I thoroughly
- enjoyed because they weren't simply sugar-coated carbon copies of the
- original. Rather, they expanded on the characters and their possible
- motivations. A classic example of this was Scorsese's Cape Fear. So it
- is possible, in my humble opinion, to create a remake that not only
- does justice to the original but even surpasses it.
- That's about all I have to say now. LATER.
