"There is a wilful lemming-like persistence in remaking past successes time after time. They can't make them as good as they are in our memories, but they go on doing them and each time it's a disaster. Why don't we remake some of our bad pictures--I'd love another shot at 'Roots of Heaven'--and make them good?" -- John Huston on remakes

Typical Hollywood formula -- trot out some "big names" and rehash an old formula/script. I don't really care about "big names". I'd rather watch a French film where the entire budget of the film is the same or less than Tom Cruise's salary for making just one dumb action film.

I'm just glad the remakes are often flopping...We need to keep up our indifference, so they see the next big thing is also a new thing.
