OT: Beauty and the Beast - We are not alone!

[WarpGirl]

Well Romeo and Juliet isn't my absolute favorite, but that's because Romeo was an idiot. I got really mad at Trip when he said that line. However, I love Othello I think it's all in the execution. But Revenge of the Sith which is basically a rip off of Othello was just plain awful. That said, Sometimes things just can't end well.

'Jericho' writer sells 'Beauty and the Beast' remake to ABC

Joy. Another fairytale remake. Where is the originality?

[WarpGirl]

Okay well... For me it's not a question of the plot's originality, there are only a limited number of plots to work with. So I don't see how there can be any original plots. That said, who knows it might be exceptional and done with a twist that is orginal. I could have sworn that Kira Knightly's Pride and Prejudice would have been an absolute disaster, but I actually love it. I say let it air and then scream if it sucks.

Wouldn't anything be better than killing of "Beauty?"

[Distracted]

Probably. Unless we get live action French-speaking candlestick men and talking teakettles, clocks, and wardrobes. I might possibly prefer a touchingly dramatic death scene to that.

It's teen angst meets BatB on CW. Kinda scary to contemplate. I hope they don't ruin it.

Well considering they're billing this show as a "procedural" I'm thinking that it might not be set in a high school enviornment. Added to that the fact that the people from Without a Trace are helming it, I think you might have a better "bright side" to look at that from the one with the castle on ABC.

George R.R. Martin on new Beauty: 'I am not a fan of reboots'

[Distracted]

Of course he isn't a fan of somebody messing with his original ideas. He doesn't like fanfiction either. But I can't say I don't agree with him in this instance.
