oh, and all proposals for hollywood remakes/'reboots'/'re-imaginings' of old films
to be put through a rigorous grilling as to why it should be made, what artistic merit it has,and if it cant be justified under any other reason beyond 'we at the studios have shit for brains and contempt for the audience' then it doesnt go ahead.

And new films that aren't remakes

I would love to see new, original films
I'm just sick of all this constant regurgitation of ideas. rob zombie's one of the worst offenders, the dull unoriginal c**t.

Rob Zombie's a coat?

Contempt for the audience?
Is that the same audience that still shells out good money to see shit films?

But some of them are ok. I liked the coen brother's version of the lady killers. It's not like they burn all the copies of the original when the re-make comes out

^^^This^^^
So very much this.

Why do they need to remake The Dam Busters, for example? In what possible way could a new version be better - aside from the special effects, which weren't the point of the story in any case?

The Italian Job completely missed the point of the first film, with no heart and no humour.

Perhaps the most pointless of all was the shot-for-shot, word-for-word remake of Psycho by Gus Van Sant.

I know
It's really annoying when remakes are different to, or the same as the original.

I don't mind remakes
What annoys me is bad dialogue.

Unfortunately, while I really like the original Star Wars films, and Where Eagles Dare my fists itch every time Harrison Ford/Clint Eastwood say "We've got company", "I've got a bad feeling about this" etc.
