I think they're being a wee bit over-zealous with the house rules again. 
I've used blackstar and amazon before and today - they've both been pulled.

I imagine they'll probably be replaced on Sodit when the Towers return.

Re: the removed links, it may be that they took you directly to the page for buying the product, while links that have been left in situ took you to reviews...?

Oh, I dunno, a dual remake combining "Waterworld" and "Singing in the rain" might be interesting...

They're re-doing 'Silent Running', the b******s.
Y'know, the mad late 60's film with Hughie and Dewy, the lumpy little robots. Biospheres in space?
Anyone?

Great film, why bother.
Hollywood is completely bankrupt of talent and ideas these days, it seems.

Why shouldn't all films be re-made? Plays are constantly re-produced on stage by new actors and directors, in new styles, new contexts, etc. It's pointless to say that a film shouldn't be remade, we're just lucky that we can always compare the latest version with the previous version.
