I don’t think I’ll run out to see the sequel, but when it’s on TV I’ll tune in. What’s your opinion on this trend of remakes and adaptations? It’s disappointing. I don’t think that the remakes are on par with the originals. I saw the new Willy Wonka, but I think it was about sixty percent as good as the original.

I’m looking forward to The Simpsons movie. Welcome Back Kotter or Good Times would be interested because I used to
