But this was the best—except for the human element

I am skeptical of remakes. So many of them seem unnecessary at best, offensively pointless at worst. Every now and then I think of The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) and I still don't understand.

. . . If you tell me that Peter Capaldi is going to play Professor Marcus in a stage version of The Ladykillers (1955), I want tickets.

(The rest of these are kind of stupid, but I approve of John Oliver: "You're not a man unless you own at least three monocles.")

Maybe there'll be a live broadcast . . .
