Oh thank god, I hate watching movies that are more than five years old. Now if only they'd get around to remaking Citizen Kane I could finally see it!

But then how can they take every last dollar from us while simulataneously ruining the memories of every film we previously enjoyed?

Its like you don't understand the movie business at all!!! :lol:

I think the thing behind remakes is that a lot of people in the movie buisness have a start in theatre, where the same plays are put on over and over again by different theatre groups which means that actors can play their favourite chracters and directors can put their own spin on a story. Then they change mediums because there's no money in theatre and they take the attitude that doing something that people have done before you is perfectly normal. Speaking as someone who has done a bit of amature theatre I completely understand this and honestly get a little pissy with all the people complaining about remakes - you don't have to see it.

Oh my god you're right!  This is why I've been unable to break into the glamorous world of Hollywood film and film-related employment.
