Remake virus

[cowhead]

alright, I was just being pissed off at the movie making machine in general.. allow me to re-phrase. it seems that the movie making industry is afraid to diverge from the formulae that is well established and known to be profitable. most of the people I know love new and exciting movie concepts/scripts there seems to be a serious lack of them in the making (or perhaps just what I have seen offered by the mainstream). and yes, when something good comes out it goes over like gangbusters (as it should). however, when something new or good comes out it doesn't spawn more new ideas merely poor copies of the same storyline.
