those annoying palm trees in the background
Don't make me have to explain again how the reality in Collinsport is that palm trees are perfectly in keeping with all the other extremely odd flora of the region.
Or how not only palm trees, but coconut tress, banana trees, and, yes, even cactus could all be seen in Collinsport all year long.
Because I will do it again, you know. Trust me - I will.
As for the Depp/DS film, or any future DS projects for that matter, the best perspective I've ever seen stated as a general principle was said in connection with the reimagined
Night Stalker series, and that was that "all too often we spend way too much time bemoaning the ways in which the new version deviates from what we know and love, and too little time considering whether the new material stands up in its own right. In other words, sometimes a remake isn't always a bad thing. They can honour the original and stand alone as solid entertainment at the same time."
Something we might all keep in mind.
