The movie producers suck so bad they can’t be bothered, or don’t trust themselves, to find new movies, despite more good ideas than you can shake a stick at, and instead remake already popular movies again paying obsceme amounts of money to big name actors and using flashy new computer graphics.
Hollywood has sucked my entire life, I understand many of you don’t realize how true that is, but they have gotten a lot worse with consolidation, It’s down to 3 or 4 studios now, 3 with each around 25%, including Paramount now. It’s going to get a lot worse.
It used to be that remakes would be taking advantage of new technology. Like silent films remade with sound or black and white redone in color.
Now, advancements are incremental and often look worse than what we used to have. All these remakes are just studios trying to monetize their existing IP.
Not just movies. I recently noticed that a lot of games are getting remasters for a quick buck. I intended to play the whole Atelier Ryza series after I got the first one pretty cheap, but they delisted the original series (2019, 2020, and 2023) to sell the remaster at a higher price. I don’t know how old I want something to be before it’s redone, but it’s got to be longer than that.
