Well, it ain't remakes per se that bother me ... For instance, I like the Phil Kaufman 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' as well as the original Siegal. There are others I can't think of off the top of my head. That's not the problem. It's when a guy's last three films are remakes ... when there are so MANY remakes and, as you point out, TV show treatments, comic books, musical versions, send ups, rip offs, rehashes of all kinds, which points to a general unwillingness on the part of investors to get behind anything original. This of course has always been true but it seems to me that we're seeing a whole lot more of it lately and I'm bloody well bored with it.
