Remakes are, on the whole, a bad idea.

If someone looks at it as a way to make a cheap buck (*coughMANCHURIANCANDIDATEcough*) they're going to inevitably create a travesty of unknown proportion. And then cast a pathetic self-important racist fuckwad like Denzel Washington in the lead, which automatically ruins any film anyhow.

If they are re-making a film because they love the original so (ie: jackson's kong) then you just have to wonder what kind of ego formulates the thought "wow... this is the greatest film ever... I love it so much, that I bet I could make it EVEN BETTER."

It takes a whole lot of ego to think you can improve on greatness.
