Every Tuesday is cleaning day for me. I spend a couple of hours in the afternoon to work around the house with Windex, Pine-Sol, and the vacuum cleaner to get the place looking reasonably decent. It’s not a comprehensive sort of thing, but it helps us to keep ahead of the kipple that would otherwise take the place over. As I clean, I usually pop the iPod earbuds in and listen to some music to help the time pass more quickly. It occurred to me today that there are quite a number of remakes and cover versions of songs in my current playlists. And then I started thinking about movies and about how frequently remakes and “re-imaginings” show up at the box office these days.
