It's guarded for a good reason though, the wrong person trying anything with it would cause a major uproar. How would the mass public feel if they attempted a remake of "The God Father?" Robert and Al would be quite offended if anyone try to mess with a protected classic. I wish we had guarded Willy Wonka from a remake.
What if they remake Harry Potter?

Lol, Harry Potter is far from a classic. That's a movie that Nick Cages talent would of come in handy for sinking.
What about Ghostbusters? *hears a crack of thunder*

Fuck you 2016! Quit taking the best talent!
For those of you who don't know, After Gene's wife, Gilda Radner, passed he gave up comedy and started writing. Romances mostly. I picked up a copy of his book "My French Whore" expecting a comedy and got one of the best written, truly powerful love stories it has ever been my fortune to experience. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will move you on a fundamental level. Yes, even in the romance section you can find good stories. I read broadly and extensively averaging around 200 titles/year and this book is still in my top 5
ever.
RIP Gene. You will be truly missed!

Okay now I have to read that. Thanks for the recommendation!
I don't believe you. Get over it.
