I did click on the link. But he had the audacity to even make it SEEM like he was redirecting MacGuff. That takes a truckload of balls.

I redirect MacGuffin all the time. But I do it in PM's. He thanks me.

And here I thought RK was saying that someone had the audacity to remake John Carpenter. Thank you guys for opening my eyes.

I thought this movie was pretty good. I haven't seen the original so I went into it with no expectations. I liked the performances, particularly from Hawke and Fishburne, and it kept me intrigued most of the way through. They really could've done without the rap theme song on the end credits.
