While I agree with your and Jeff's emphasis on business aspect, I ask why simple business can't be logical-analytic in its profit making calculations on feeding the masses what they want? Granted, masses desires may be highly emotional, but business cannot afford to be that way, don't you think? IMO, sales in general appeals to emotions of consumers, for example, building up 'value' of products-services e.g., aesthetics, features, options, benefits, etc. and getting away from 'advertised price', which is what consumers often focus on, particularly when mark-ups, sales commissions and negotiations are involved. You as co-owner of a business, of course, probably know this well. If we accept what Jeff said, films that fell short of classic status are discounted due to increased risk factors, is this not being logical-analytic in calculating probablities of success of remakes? ~AH
