Good. That Julia Roberts/Jude Law flick looked like a REAL P.O.S.

That remake of "Alfie" was an atrocity!

Fortunately, I wasn't forced to endure another Hollywood attempt at desecrating a piece of classic American cinema, see the recent version of "The Manchurian Candidate", so I couldn't describe to you in detail how execrable that film was, but I know enough about it-from hearsay-to proclaim it a complete piece of crap.

I can't imagine what the frothing, rabid, mind-numbed RDDBs who financed this picture and run most Hollywood film studios nowadays did with the climactic scene of that film, i.e. when Alfie is forced to come to grips with his own reckless disregard for other's feelings and lives, but I'm sure it was a complete distortion of the original scene starring Michael Caine.

Knowing the lavender mafia that control the film biz, they probably turned it into a paean to Barbara Boxer, Barney Frank, and the other moral exemplars of the culture of death.
