Hadn't thought of it before then, but it comes up on a regular basis now. It seems to apply to movies as well as books - hence the huge number of remakes (that are generally worse than the original). In fact, we just watched the movie Beastly last night - a modern remake of Beauty and the Beast.<br /><br />Even with concepts being re-used, I enjoy reading books (and watching movies). The combination of all the details surrounding the plot make or break the experience for me.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641172910314754096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932376865726081805.post-25260226914123342362011-03-11T08:39:58.622-05:002011-03-11T08:39:58.622-05:00Note that I'm not really in the habit of going...Note that I'm not really in the habit of going back and editing blog posts, since my philosophy is that they should contain free-flowing thoughts on the topic at hand. But when I get up in the morning and can't stand to read a post I made last night, I edit away, as I just did to this one.The Other Stephen Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471972807328125155noreply@blogger.com
