No one complains about The Thing or The Fly remakes because they are very good. Does anyone know someone who grew up with the originals? Perhaps they felt the same way about those remakes as we do about the current ones.

It would help if today's remakes weren't like a slap in the face. Sure, it's hard to come up with original ideas but it's not like it's impossible. They are obviously out there. The guys in the suits most likely want their cheques to keep coming in though so they will continue to do the same thing.

It's the same as gas. Obviously cars do not need to run on gas anymore but then a lot of people wouldn't be very, very rich any more so nothing will change.
