When good comedians go bad Remember when Steve Martin, Albert Brooks and Woody Allen were funny? What on earth happened to our favorite funnymen?
  • Of course it's not funny.

    Like someone who posted earlier, the first trailer I saw for The Pink Panther told me it was going to be awful, and I *like* Steve Martin. All it did, in fact, was make me want to go and rent the original immediately--which, when you get right down to it, can't be a bad thing.

    I do wish the studios would catch on to the idea of doing re-releases for old films instead of remaking them. Think of it: whole generations introduced to film noir, to movie musicals, to great classics, all for a fraction of the price of remaking movies. A modest advertising budget and who knows, studios might find they've got an old hit on their hands.
