On Amazon Prime. What a perfect movie. The new one with Kenneth Branaugh was absolutely awful from beginning to end.

    That's him in the center - he used to work for CNN. Oh - you're not talking about Rory Suchet?
    
    But the news anchor I REALLY like these days is Nikki:
    
    That would be Nikki Aaron, formerly headquartered in Beijing. I love the way she kind of pouts out the news!

      I mean David Suchet as Poirot, on NPR.
      You know, in this Poirot Thread.
      The CNN Thread is somewhere else.
      Maybe.
      Tho he IS bit Pouty, come to think of it.

I wonder why they made that new version.

  Including rebooting entire franchises of films.
  
  I somewhat doubt it's inspired by artistic vision.
  
  More like greed, laziness and a solid lack of creativity.
  
  Lord of the Rings will likely be rebooted in our lifetime.

  Vanity Project for Kenneth Branaugh.
  
  It made money strangely enough, so there's a sequel coming.
