Well, technically isn't the Guns of the Magnificent Seven and The Magnificent Seven Ride count more as sequels that just re-tread the same ground rather than "remakes" ? Still the circle that amuses me is the Yojimobo one. Yojimbo was written inspired by a Dashiel Hammett book that was set in a prohibition era USA ghost town. Yojimbo got the "Hollywood remake" as it were with A Fistful of Dollars. Then back in the 90's, A Fistful of Dollars was remade with Bruce Willis as Last Man Standing.. set in a prohibition era USA ghost down. So the remake of the remake was actually closer to the original story that started it all..

I'm still running through all the fun of job hunting. And having those points of helping dad sort out mom's stuff to get rid off or tidy up or what have you. I think we're still going to be finding bits and pieces for the next decade. Having a minor grouch with the Jobcentre people, my fortnightly sign-in next week clashes with an actual job interview, but they won't let me reschedule it properly. I just get told "if you don't turn up you will potentially lose your jobseeker benefits, and we can't reschedule it but you have 5 days to turn up and wait around and maybe you'll get seen if there's a spare moment, so you might be waiting for a few hours or not get seen that day and have to come back. But if you don't get it done in 5 days you'll lose your benefits."

Rather than start a completely new thread on its own for this... I'll throw it out here. The British Monarchy rolls along with the Queen's 90th birthday today... BBC - Queen has been "rock of strength for our nation."

I suppose technically this could go under Random Game news but still, it seemed a better fit here... Exactly how male gamers react when they are forced to play female characters
