Hollywood - less remakes, more originality please

[Interpol Shrimper]

Drop Dead Fred

Remaking films not even 20 years old these days. Lazy & pointless if you ask me (especially the casting of "Fred" in this one... :madman:

Hollywood has been devoid of originality for years, apart from the notable exception (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford springs to mind of recent times.)

Look how they just remake Asian horrors and ferk them up. The Japanese "Ring" is far more scarier than the US remake.

They're just lucky Western audiences are too damn lazy to read subtitles.

And I can't believe they're remaking this pile of crap and Arthur as well? Jeezus.

I am disappointed they are remaking The Karate Kid.

One of those rare films that make you want to go straight out and start a fight and I don't think the remake will capture that magic.

If you ask me sensai John Kreese had the right idea with his 'strike first, strike hard, no mercy' policy.

Mr Miyagi would have been kicked all round the car park at my local.

It sucks but its all about getting in the dollar , a sure thing so if it was a hit once why not again ;) . The comic films have been the most "original" recently and even they suck

(The Assination of Jesse Jackson by the Coward Robert Ford springs to mind of recent times.)

This guy clearly had something against people called Jesse, was this a sequel? Also, I wouldn't like to be assinated, sounds painful.....

I've been saying for god knows how long! A big reason why I don't watch alot of hollywood output nowadays, even if not remakes they just churn out loads of films that are pretty much the same thing, yawn-o-rama!
