I see there's a remake of the Bad News Bears coming out shortly. What a stupid idea. Take a classic movie, and recast it, and then change it for modern audiences. Wait, there's also Willy Wonka, which is starting now. I don't care how good the new one is, it's not going to be as good as the original, everyone sing - Come with me, and you'll be in a world of pure imagination...
It's bad enough when Hollywood is so far out of movie ideas that they rehash them with some differences, like the Mighty Ducks, Little Giants, Big Green, etc. At least there they're attempting to hide the fact that they have no original ideas left. But then they do things like making a half-assed attempt at a movie based on a TV show (Seriously, Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke?), but then do a half-assed attempt at a movie that was good the first time. Has that ever worked out? Think DOA, Grapes of Wrath, Psycho, even Willard...
And then they complain about how people aren't going to the movies anymore. Give me something worth watching, darnit! You make millions of dollars to write scripts, earn your money.
