Two of the worst movies I've ever seen and ever expect to were remakes of the original "A Star is Born". One was 1976's "A Star is Born", starring the utterly unlikely pairing of Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson...as supposed lovers with less chemistry together than has probably ever been seen before or since on the silver screen! Talk about your "vanity" projects...YIKES! Streisand has no shame. This movie was astoundingly bad. Embarrassing. Downright horrifying.

The other remake of the original "A Star is Born" came later, in the 80's, and it starred Bob Dylan and some other people who were very, very forgettable. I can't remember their names. It's pretty dreadful, though not nearly as repulsive as the Streisand film was. The only interesting thing about it at all is just watching Bob do whatever he does...and his old pal Richie Havens too. They are interesting in their own right, regardless of the fact that they are walking aimlessly through a very poor movie, a terrible script, a hopeless concept, an idea that just goes absolutely nowhere. Yup, I did enjoy watching old Bob, cos I'd enjoy watching him do just about anything. (Sort of like he feels about watching Gregory Peck...)
