It was bad enough when Hollywood decided it was a great idea to start making movies that are "based the novel by...."

And then, it sucked when Hollywood decided to start doing "modern times" versions of Shakespeare plays.

And now, what the shit is going on with all the remakings of great movies? It was one thing with Ocean's Eleven or whatever; that movie was 50 years old at the time, and it was still sorta lame to do. Now they're remaking movies from the 70s and 80s. Next, there'll be a remake of Harold & Kumar...

What if bands started "remaking" classic albums in their entirety? Would people stand for it if Nickleback recorded an updated version of Aladdin Sane? Or perhaps it would be more palatable if MCR made modern version of In Utero?

This shit needs to stop. Anybody here wanna help me blow up Tim Burton & Co.?

Please discuss.

i am with you, and i am also sick of old tv shows being turned into bad comedy movies. and sequels of movies that were not good to begin with. and remakes of classic or foreign horror movies that do nothing but suck ass.

let's remake the birth of a nation, though, just for laughs.

it's a bit depressing actually because it means that we live in times where we have no cultural identity.

is this going to turn into a "what hollywood should stop doing" list?

because add the spoofs to the list.

"scary movie", "epic movie", "disaster movie", etc, etc.
