Lucent said: You know that there was just as many sequels, remakes and the like in the 80s when the Thing (which was a remake itself!!), Robocop, and Total Recall came out, right? Remakes have been remarkably common since pretty much the dawn of cinema. The attitude of "NO ONE IS ORIGINAL ANYMORE!!" when pointing at contemporary cinema is so short-sighted it's stupid. Heck, just look at this list of remakes: The Wizard of Oz Scarface A Fistfull of Dollars The Maltese Falcon ...and that's just a few. It's not even ostentably easier to remake a movie, either. It comes with its own baggage, lisencing, and creative pitfalls as much as an original film does-- and it's still not guaranteed to make bank at the box office. It's a weird thing to bother me, but it does.
