Spike Lee’s joint was an abomination. And that’s not even relative to the original. Even if the original didn’t exist, his movie would still suck balls. How in the world do you make a scene where a father guns down his kid unintentionally FUNNY?
I’m all for remakes of Asian films if done well btw. Infernal Affairs was pretty ok. Scorsese’s remake - The Departed - was on a whole different level. Made the original look like a pretty looking hack job(he couldn’t beat the cinematography).
Yeah - agreed about the departed. A good remake starts with the question, what’s the point? Are you gonna tell it better? Make it look better? Make it more stylish? With Spike, it was just “look what else I can do!”
That’s the reason they used to give blanks to one or more shooters in a firing squad, so theoretically an individual soldier wouldn’t know if he was responsible for the death or not (of course trained soldiers could tell due to the lower recoil of blanks, so they progressed to wax bullets and other things).
I fell for this too! I was sufficiently interested that I read “The Octopus and other minds” by Peter Godfrey-Smith before I fact-checked it - I was expecting some next-level sci-fi stuff about alien intelligence.
Turns out the truth is just as interesting; it demonstrates that intelligence has evolved entirely separately twice, which means that humans (and evolutionary relatives) are not unique even here on Earth.
Which implies that intelligent life has potentially arisen multiple times and therefore could be widespread on other planets and moons…
IN Southern China, there’s a very popular type of river puffer fish that’s very toxic; however, thanks to partial domestication and selective breeding, it’s pretty safe to eat in most places
With that said, the wild ones are siginificantly tastier
OOH that’s one of my favourite pieces lifting related content
