Today's pet peeve: film versions of stage shows made from movies.

They're not billed as remakes of the original movies, but as film versions of the Broadway musicals. Is this supposed to give them some sort of cultural cache? Personally, I'd feel that the original Producers or Hairspray would carry more weight than whatever stage shows were made of them. I'm sure that the stage shows were good, though I've zero desire to see them. However, it seems that with the second film something gets lost in translation and you get camp rather than comedy. Musical theater on film is somehow different to me than musical film, and these remakes make me angry largely because they serve as hollow shells of tribute to the originals whose cultural impact they're ignoring.

It doesn't help that much of the public then also assumes that these films started as stage musicals, shifting credit away from where it's due.
