Am I the only person who's tired of remakes of good movies? Seriously, why remake a movie that's already excellent, when there are so many shitty movies with cool ideas that exist. I almost want to make up a "save the children" type ad campaign to try to rescue shitty movies with cool ideas from a cruel and undeserving fate.
It just frustrates me, and annoys the piss out of me, when I see good movies dragged kicking and screaming through broken glass and human excrement simply to make a few bucks(I'm talking to you asshole who directed the new Day the Earth Stood Still). It's like spray painting the mono-fucking-lisa and trying to sell the desecrated copy as a new and improved version of the previous artwork. The people who do this should be strung up by the balls, and forced to look at pictures of Janet Reno naked.
Why can't movie makers take it upon themselves to try to rescue movies that were "almosts". They had great ideas and just weren't well executed, or simply lacked the means/budget to support the story. This would be like restoring a water damaged artwork, and trying to bring it to the position of respect that it deserves. I'd consider a movie maker who did this to be a saint of his craft worthy of a place next to my framed Bruce Campbell Evil Dead poster above my entertainment abode near my throne(my LaZboy).
