"lol that sucks sunds stoopid" (instantly forgets about it and complains once again when a new remake comes along to whine about Hollywood being out of ideas.)

@Mr. Trick

Your post is the most honest comment ever on movie sites.

People keep whining about remakes and sequels, yet when a fresh, outside-the-box script or idea comes along, it's quickly denounced as "stupid", "retarded", or "awful".

PEOPLE, WHAT DO YOU WANT!!!!

People like these are the reason why there's a lack of originality in movies and TV today. Imagine the massive stacks of original scripts that or either rotting in the dumpster or a vault while a remake is quickly greenlit.
