Well, I guess now I'll defend myself against such a scathing accusation.

The same can be said about remakes. Have you ever complained about those? No one does know for sure before they see it for themselves. I'm just basing my opinion on the fact that Raimi hasn't made a good straight horror movie since the first ED. He's chose to take that straight horror classic and turn it into first a horror/comedy and then a horror/comedy/sword & sorcery something or other. Not to mention, I think his recent output sucks too.

So I consider it shallow to accept that just because it comes from Raimi it's gold or even has the potential to be gold. I want something new from someone new. And if that's shallow, I guess I'm shallow.

So don't sling mud you picked up from your own backyard. It will always end up back where it came from.
