I actually had to ask my husband "did that happen in the original?" I couldn't remember. He told me how it was done, and how the director's focus on the lightbulb in the remake could be considered an "homage"...or a set up to make you think it was going to happen again.

I have to admit - and I'm more than willing to take accusations of "you're such a chick sometimes" - that scene really rocked me. I wasn't expecting it and it floored me. I really liked the character...so it hurt.

Red...I liked the way his character in "Son In Law" effected the family, especially the mother. I hope never to hear him speak as a "real person" again, though.
