To my great horror, I came across the trailer for a remake of
Straw Dogs today. I already have my issues with Peckinpah's adaptation of the novel
The Siege of Trencher's Farm, upon which his film was based. In a nutshell, I think he sexed it up too much. Somehow, I don't think the remake will tone it down any, or draw on any of the parts of the novel Peckinpah ignored. In short, it looks like shit.
I'm on your side, Nathan. Some movies should be left alone. No reason or need to remake Peckinpah's Straw Dogs.
