Description
Summary:The recent filmsCharlie's AngelsandJosie and the Pussycats, filmic remakes of 1970s television series, and furthermore of each other, may be indicative of a new direction for film, which is precisely the direction of television. These new films serve as indexes of each other and of the popular culture from which they have been compiled. As remakes become more common and films rely ever more on our familiarity with other forms of mass media, the vast cultural-industrial complex Theodor Adorno denounced a half-century ago seems to be at its most effective.
