I like some remakes, such as many posted. It's not necessarilly evil. But some are pointless. Let them never remake Casablanca, for instance.

It's not a binary subject. When they refired up the Batman franchise, I was totally aghast. Then I watched it... not bad, and I'm looking forward to the next installment.

But if you're going to do it, improve it in a way beyond advanced technology. War of the Worlds comes to mind. Aside from some interesting performances from Tim Robbins, it was most obviously a Hollywood corporate grab at revenue. As much as I can point to a handful of worthy efforts from Tom Cruise throughout his career, anymore, he's the kiss of death for any project to me. He's now just another blockbuster cog.

Give us the art, make it good, make it better!
