I just saw the remake of Poseidon at the cinema earlier in the week, and they are replaying the original seventies one on Channel Seven at the moment. Am only catching the last wee bit due to the fact that I was more intent on watching the Argies go mad in their football match.
Now I have heard that the original Poseidon is one of those classics that can never be beaten, so therefore am glad I caught the remake first, Josh Lucas, Kurt Russell and an assortment of eye candy versus Gene Hackman and Ernest Borgnine, hmm I know which one I will go with. Is just funny watching something almost exactly the same as something I saw earlier in the week.
I don't think there will be any clamour to remake The Towering Inferno though - I saw the DVD of the original and internally shuddered. Too easily taken back to that clear blue skied day of September 11 - I will probably catch United 93 when it comes out to Oz though. I'm expecting United 93 to affect me similarly to Hotel Rwanda - I may be in tears about ten minutes in or so.
Dammit, let's get back to the footy, the Dutch will be starting in three quarters of an hour...
