Tired of remakes?

Doesn't Hollywood have any fresh ideas?

And where did we forget the fact that it's actually a good story, as opposed to most of the drivel that becomes remakes? :-k

I am totally exhausted by remakes/excess sequels! It's all a matter of Hollywood trying to make a quick buck, rather than gamble on a new idea. It's the same reason reality TV has taken off. It's cheaper and faster to make. And it's a waste of my time and $$. :noway:

I don't see anything wrong with remakes, unless they're really horrible. But I think it's a pretty good idea to take an old movie and try to make it better. Narnia's a remake I don't see you guys complaining 'bout that. Excess sequels are horrible, like, they try to hard to make it funny or something, it seems like they don't plan the story for the the sequels. I especially hate when they make a sequel, and it's pretty good, then they make another and another and they get worse and worse. :sick:
