  • because noone has any good ideas anymore. Everything is a remake, or an adaptation. Or a sequel to a sequel. or a prequel. How many TV shows from the 70's and 80's are left, that ahven't been made into some awful movie? look at TV. Do we really need another 90210?

    Most remakes just suck. Some schmuck thinks they have to make the movie contemporary, so they can milk more money out of it. I really like John Carpenter films, and I was really surprised he allowed a remake of The Fog. As usual they tried to make it scarier by having more blood and gore. It was awful. I even heard someone was considering remaking The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. How do you remake The Birds?

    same way they remade psycho. very very crappily. :D

    i heard naomi watts is in it. shes like the remake queen of hollywoodland.
