Agreed!

They do remakes because there is no creativity or original thinking left in the movie industry, and all they care about is making money. I mean come on now, how many times has Godzilla been remade! Enough already!  

They remake them because they make money. If people didn't pay to see the remakes, they would stop making them. Games industry is the same way. Do we really need COD 8 (or whatever) and so on? Well, yes apparently because people keep buying them.

I'm still holding out for Buckaroo Banzai against the World Crime League though...

But only if they can keep the flurry of one liners and quirkiness of the original!

There's really only one way to stop it...by making it unprofitable. 

Good luck. 

Almost all of these are dead in development according to the blogspam "article".  There's really no reason to get worked up over this outdated nonsense.  

To some of us it seems that the world today is hard pressed to come up with an original idea, which goes right along with memory recall and attention span.  Unfortunately it's been this way for a very, very long time. 

Now you would expect that folks would realize this but for two things.........can't remember the first and.......I'm sorry, what were you saying. 

None of those 4 is a literary masterpiece...so it doesn't matter.

There's plenty of others I can think of that'd be a real issue.....

Am I the only person who finds the TV series 'Elementary' an abomination on ALL counts?

Anything that makes its way across the 'pond' [for re-invention] usually ends up in utter disaster.

Fletch was awesome, including it's soundtrack. Wargames had a remake in 2008…

Every movie from the 80s is being remade or remade already.

They are even rebooting the reboot of the 2009 Friday the 13th.

I agree with I.D. The 80's sucked as it was, no need to bring all those pink Skisuits & legwarmer memories back Lol 

You wore those?

Now there's a mental image I could have lived without...

UGH!

I drank until I just didn't give a shit......by then it was the 80's so nobody noticed.If Holywood can sucker everybody into paying for poorly remade half-assed reproductions then shame on y'all.
