Remakes

I have a certain dislike for movie remakes, I consider them to boring and trite modernisation's of often perfectly good films.

However, many mistake "film remakes" with "book adaptations".

There's nothing wrong with adapting a book to the big screen again and again, as long as you attempt to improve on the adaptation; of course this often is not the case, but then many so called "classics" were very poor copies of the books they were based on, and sometimes a modern adaptation is what is needed to be closer or a more fitting version, to/of the original book.

For example, Farenheight 451.

reSpoke

Nearly overnight, theSpoke has fixed their cross-browser rendering issues, and fixed their Passport™ user-login management issues.

Big kudos to them.
