>.Peter Jackson is re-making The Dam Busters

That’s almost as useless a remake IMO as the Manchurian Candidate. Even tho’ Meryl Streep was good in the Angela Lansbury role. Still.

Why mess with something so good in the original that you can’t really improve it anyway...though with the Dam Busters, today’s special effects would put the prior ones to shame......

Saw the trailer for the “A-Team” movie. Everything these days seems to be a re-do of an old movie, old TV show, or “graphic novel” [comic book for us seasoned citizens, and others who can read].
