We've explained why the remakes aren't necessary, we're gone over WHY we don't need yet another TV-show-turned-crappy movie, and yet no one is listening.
But now they've gone TOO far.
NOW they're going after the things that we love as geeks, and it is time to address the problem DIRECTLY.
The same principle applies to the movies that we love. They’re called “classics” for a reason, and when you “re-envision” them, you might THINK that you’re taking us for a stroll down memory lane, but in reality – you’re stomping the piss out of the white flowers that border it with your poo covered shoes. You’re holding our hand and trying to show us your vision and the work you put into your homage to the original, and all we can think is:
"What the F*** did he step in? Was there a frigging BRONTASAURUS CROSSING I missed?!? Look what he is DOING to the DAISIES!”
You do realize that John Carpenter's "The Thing" was a remake from "The Thing from Another World" back in 1951, which, to be honest, kinda sucked. Oh, and "Drop Dead Fred" was awsome. Phoebe Cates makes me feel all tingly inside.

Yup. I addressed The Thing being a remake....
And Poebe Cates makes me ....well nothing since that damn restraining order...but still.
And Toast? How much NEGATIVE REP are you trying to earn?!?! MORE FOR YOU!!
Phoebe Cates was really cute in that movie. I enjoyed it, but doubt I would now. >.>
Hollywood is trashing all the old movies... or what they blithely call "remaking" because they are too drugged out of their minds to think up anything good or new. When the terrorists bomb us, I hope that cess pool is the first to go...

<.<
What, too much? xD

See, I thought you were referencing the NEW Thing remake.
