Who in Hollywood


has the power to stop with the needless remakes?

Who has the power these days?

Directors?
Actors?

If it's just a producer's town, we can expect this horrid trend to continue until the audience collectively refuses to watch them.

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.

It is the result of podcasts

This is a very interesting answer. Someone should do a study and find out how true that is.

It is a free country, sort of. You could just ignore them.

Ok, Sparky. I'm going to give you an opportunity to explain why your comment (and every comment like it on the Internet) is fucking dumb.

reply

Like you can grant me anything, except in your dreams. Your delusions of grandeur are silly. But it is a free country, sort of. :)

When a person resorts to personal attacks, they have already lost the debate. Starting off with a losing position is not how you win at anything.

reply

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.

reply

True. The audience should stop watching them and send a message to the industry.

Its the CGI, they need to remake everything with updated effects technology. Better than fixing the old classics with CGI like George Lucas, I guess.
