I think the kerfuffle is beyond stupid (making it hard to make a fair judgement of the reboot and the original too), but I also think the original is a great film
(my favourite part being the bit where the containment facility is shut down and you get this great skyline shot of NYC + eerie music + pink orbs flying around + Sigourney doing her best possessed-but-erotic thing)
I'm hoping that the new one will be great instead of merely good / competent in a night-at-the-museum sense, but nothing I've seen so far hints at much ambition (just a retread of the original minus any of the more subtle / sophisticated aspects)
And PG-12 / whatever rating = we won't get Kristen Wiig calling Slimer a little cunt, which would have been nice
