They're remaking it? WHY? Is mainstream America THAT STUPID that they can't bother to read a subtitle here and there? Christ, this movie is beautiful and they're basically going to piss on it.
Five stars for informing me one of my absolute favorite movies is going to get shitcanned.
Yes, mainstream America is infected with a serious case of stupid. At the local Hastings store (DVDs, Music, Books, etc.) they taped notes to the front of the racks Pan's Labyrinth was housed on pointing out to customers that "This Film Is SUBTITLED!" People were renting the thing and getting pissed off that "it's not even in ENGLISH!"
"I am not going to spend my money on this because it's in a funny language and I have to read words at the bottom to know what they're saying," isn't necessarily FORCING the industry, but you have to admit it can be a pretty sharp titty-twist.
