Oh, definitely: colorization is an abomination, and fortunately is no longer the issue it once was (Turner seemed to let it go). What I meant by b&w purist is being one of those stuffy types who think horror movies stopped being good the minute the blood dripped red (a ridiculous notion, folks). But I do think remakes of the Universal classics are possible, and could be good, using the enhanced monochromatic technique of a film like Sin City, where the movie is shot in color, then color is selectively removed.
