Remake THIS!

Hollywood has been pretty lazy. They are remaking everything. Its starting to make me upset. TV shows, old movies, and even taking ideas from abroad and trying to revamp it into this original and hip idea, (when IT'S NOT) has me concerned for the movie makers of America. I imagine some random producer, watching TV and trying to fall sleep in bed, he channel surfs and just lands on Nick at Nite or USA and it happens to be in the middle of an A-Team marathon. When he finally wanders to lalala land, he thinks about how funny the A-Team and how original it would be to make a movie of them, because well its a very simple storyline. He wakes up and there you have it, a remake. I am sick of these remakes, I am sick of them not even being a quarter as entertaining as its predecessor. See I would not complain so much if the original shows or movies were just crap, but they weren't. They were great shows and even better movies, why remake it? For example- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The original was amazing! Gene Wilder played a wonderful aloof, sneaky and smarter then he looks Willy Wonka, with his brood of orange morally instilled midgets!

I applaud you Tim Burton for your fantastical imagery and use of exuberant colors, but the original movie did not need to be tampered with. Johnny Depp was just...strange with and underlying tone of creepy. Not a good personality trait for a children's movie.

I know that a lot of people will give me crap about remakes, cause well its basically retelling the story for the next generation. Sadly with every remake, redo, rendition, things change. After enough changes, then its a completely different story and only a shell of a character which might resemble a story that someone once heard. Ugh, it angers me so.

Here are some more horribly ventured remakes that have burnt through my retinas.

Planet of the Apes:



<---this was good. this was bad---->







There are a ton of other movies I could list...but I don't have the manpower for the insane amount of terrible remakes.

HOLLYWOOD- GET SOME NEW MATERIAL!
