Why is Hollywood so retarded?

It's all that Botox – it eventually affects the brain.

And all those $$ in the eyes of the executives.

Hollywood nowaday is a joke. Nothing but canned dialouges between special effects and like pointed out above, a bunch of dumbed down remakes for the new generation. By contrast to all the flops spun out by the film industry today, there were some flicks in the past that were better remakes of the originals: "Evil Dead 2", "Aliens", "Naked Gun 2", "Nightmare 3", "Return of the Living Dead", "The Fly"(1958 remade in 1986), "Base 2" to name the better known ones. Some of the most pathetic remakes are those by Will Smith, like "Wormwood", a new age remake of Charlton Heston's "The Omega Man".

Ocean's 11. The remake was sooo much better. But that's the catch, only remake crap films with a good premise that odds are no one saw in the first place…

I stopped going to see movies a long time ago. And when it comes to these people remaking something they only ruin it.

Please be consistent in what you do. They ruined Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Batman ruined, the Monkeys ruined. Please don't remake anything unless it is a continuation of some thing and under those circumstances keep it original in origin.

There is one remake that's better than the original:

Battlestar Galactica.

Scarface was a remake – and the original is good – but the remake is an entirely different movie, nothing like the original except in basic ways that have nothing to do with the hear to soul of the 80's film.

I think it's a Generation thing more than anything. The movie's that I like that are being remade now may not be great to me, but to the newer generation of teens, they are good. I've heard countless younger people say that the ''original'' was ''boring,'' and/or ''too old.''

They can remake anything they want, but luckily I don't have to watch them if I don't feel like it.

I agree allthough there is one flaw in this Article. SCARFACE is a remake. Unless your taking about the 1932 Original. But beyond that I agree. Remakes are worse than Sequals. If your gonna remake something,remake something that wasn't that good, and make it better. not something that was good and think youll fix it, because you almost always fail.

Seriously!! nobody has an original fucking idea anymore, they just crank out some old shit that somebody else already made. not to mention most of these are from books.
