Perfect example of why not to remake every bloody movie

Hollywood tends not to have new ideas, and producers hate spending and losing money. Good ideas and good screenwriters are expensive. The Pyscho remake starring Vince Vaughn included the original Psycho screenplay, virtually word for word. Same with original soundtracks. Filmmakers started not to use composers decades ago choosing to pay copyrights for popular songs instead. Many filmmakers are still artists, but the money comes from the producers, usually. Hollywood filmmaking is a balancing act struggle.

Disturbia is a Remake with teens

this actually has a remake, from 1998, i think i once saw it but can't remember what i thought of it, i thought the remake of "psycho" from the same year was grotesque, pointless and awful. a lot of black and white movies from around this time but the ones that are in colour are really in colour, and this has some really groovy colours, today's movies are often filmed in that dark blue damp way, how about the early shot of the half naked 👙 blonde in the window, the slow motion during the kiss looked weird, this movie actually doesn't need a leading lady, mostly her only part is arguing with stewart, the story revolves around stewart and the neighbour raymond burr, the fate of the dog 🐶 makes me like this movie less. pretty remarkable when you think about it, but the leading man james stewart sits in about the same spot throughout the entire movie, that makes the ending the more intense, another remarkable thing is i don't think you hear, spoiler, the villain's voice until one and a half hour into the movie. close to the end it looks even earlier like he's about to get thrown out the window when he lands on the bed. i often miss hitchcock's cameos, i've never spotted him in this despite seeing the movie several times, often i think his movies end too abrupt but this had a nice satisfying ending.

launch to space,
since you started come by most every day,
are you an alien for real or what,
like an exquisite painting with lightnin eye,
and talkin me straight before saying goodnight,
as to earth i land back down.
