Its the Studio's I would guess. The crazy part is that someone thought remaking this movie was a good idea. The original wasn't that great to begin with anyways.
Technically, you're correct. Pointing out the stupidity of your comment was not the best tactic. I lose my patience with this kind of remark, though.
If there's a consensus that remakes suck (and there indeed appears to be one), it behooves we the people to talk about it and hope the people responsible for making those remakes know they're not appreciated. Yes, it's a free country. Yes, we could ignore it. But would the problem go away if people pretended it didn't exist? Of course not.
Now this I can completely agree with. But even sucky remakes keep people in the film industry employed. It is the people that invest in these turkeys that lose.
