I haven't seen The Fly in a long time, I'm going to have to keep an eye out for it.
The amazing Spiderman was dumb. The new one rebooted within the Marvel universe is perfectly justified imo.
Right but the REASONS they are remaking are bad. It isnt cause effects can be better or casting could be interesting. They simply have no other ideas and are scared of spending 200mil on a movie that flops, so are playing it safe with lame shit that is an already established intellectual property.
That's fair .I haven't seen The Fly in a long time, I'm going to have to keep an eye out for it.
I'm not sure you can count The Departed as a remake. It's more of an Americanized foreign film. Definitely a good one though. Maybe I'm in the minority but I prefer the original True Grit. Someone should have gotten Bridges some Riikola. 3:10 to Yuma is a good one. I though it was a decent remake, on par or slightly better than the original.
I'd be curious to hear the discussions on this topic from the previous generation. I'm sure somewhere there was someone calling those old remakes unnecessary, they just didn't have the internet to help them make any noise about it.
yeah that's true in a lot of the cases for sure. But to look at some cases, I can't really blame them. Some are certainly just bad ideas, but something like Fantastic Four I completely understand. It's such a good source that should be made well. If Disney does acquire Fox, I damn sure hope they immediately greenlight a new Fantastic Four. But then doing it for something like Big Trouble in Little China just has me scratching my head. Star Trek also had me scratching my head, and I really liked the first of the new ones. Not so much the sequels, but that's a whole different problem
This is a part I take issue with. There are a TON of great original movies being made every year still. Though you're right that they tend to be smaller budgets, so I guess I don't really take issue, I just disagree with it being much of a problem. It's mostly the big budget stuff that has changed. I have the good fortune of being the target audience of most of the big budget action franchises these days

There are also some damn good sequels to classics being made. Mad Max Fury Road is easily the best of the series. Blade Runner 2049 is great. These are the exceptions and not the rule, but still.
I’m driving to Banff soon. 9 hour drive but it’s very very scenic
My God I hate youI’m driving to Banff soon. 9 hour drive but it’s very very scenic
. Can’t do that anymore so just stick to checking out mountains, hot springs, lakes. Probably do some white water rafting and some hikes and not get too close to the bears, elk, cougars and moose.
