I actually kind of think I saw the 1976 remake before I'd seen the original, so it probably scarred me less than it has some friends of mine (well, Craig Smith at least). It did, however, bore me. I should probably watch it again sometime just to see if it's as bad as all that. I like Jeff Bridges now, so maybe it will be amusing.
The length of the PJ version is definitely one of the things putting me off. One thing about watching lots of old Hollywood movies is that you come to realize just how much you can fit into a trim 90 minutes.
