There's an infinite source of ideas out there that are just itching to be molded into form, but do we use them? NO! Instead we use other peoples ideas!

More agreeing to disagree. I don't think there are any original ideas left. At least a self admitted remake/reboot is not trying to cover up how trivial it truly is to try to make an original film. At the end of the day, its us, the silly public that don't want to see the movies we loved as children remade. I think we are generally scared that a remake will be better, thus breaking our childhood so we se them through shit colored glasses. Go back and watch IT, I watched it again over the weekend with my oldest son (9), its a bad movie... Of course Tim Curry is great and they had excellent child actors, but the movie is not good and its a terrible representation of the book. What worse is, if you go back and watch a lot of the "classics" that we fear being remade, they aren't good movies. But they where awesome when we saw them as kids. I say remake them all, then remake the remakes. Its not like there has been shit for original films in the last five years that have been worth a damn anyway.
