When will the travesty of movie remakes cease?

The frickin' Poseidon Adventure is being remade?????

:wtf:

1. Afraid so

The original was good. This one will suck.

So, when will they remake Snakes on a Plane anyway?

2. It comes out in 2008, they're calling the remake

Herps in Flight!

3. It really wasn't THAT special

:eyes:

4. Never said it was.

I'm saying that there's sure as hell no reason to remake the damn thing.

Just like there' sno reason to remake "The Hills Have Eyes," it's nothing special at all, and sure as hell doesn't warrant a remake.

5. I was just commenting on it being remade

I didn't imply anything about your post or you.

Sorry.

10. There are really only seven good plots ever, in the world.

And Billy Shakespeare nailed them all a long time ago.

Ho hum.

11. Yeah, but think how they've worked his ideas to death...

:evilgrin:

12. Movie remakes are as old as movies...

--and will continue as long as films endure...actually, I think a film like "Poseidon Adventure" is exactly the sort of film they should remake--a cheesy, so-so action flick...remakes are fine, as long as you don't remake a *good* film. If someone did a remake of "Citizen Kane"--you know it would suck, almost by definition...
