If that makes sense. ;)

yes that makes sense. i hate that too. i hate it when people are to lazy to make up new movies and just take old ones and redo them and sometimes make them suck. like some of the return of the living dead ones. there have been some that have sucked big time

Well, for the slasher movies it's impossible not to do a remake. They can't make a sequel because the series has already been ruined with the 80's and 90's, so they want to still see these characters on the screen.

For example, "Halloween" is an amazing series (however the last 2 of them lacked creativity). How many times can we watch this guy die? It stops getting scary, so they need to revamp them!

I'm all for the idea of remakes, but not the remakes themselves.

Do you really think that that the reason remakes are so popular is because ' people are to lazy to make up new movies '?

The Crazies remake was pretty solid.

I thought the Crazies & My Bloody Valentine remakes were both good.

My problem with remakes I personally don't think they ever should rushed, an I think when getting writers/directors/producers they should try an find someone who was actually a fan of the original an not just doing it for the big bucks Hollywood willing to put out for it.

Yeah sure maybe some of the people that work on the remakes are fans of the original I don't know but if they were fans you would think they would work harder to try an out do the original instead of taking the easy way out an making a shit ass remake but thats just me.
