In theory, I agree with you Alex, but the seeming flood of bad remakes is just making the thought of another one and another one and another one more and more painful. I wouldn't wat to abolish all remakes, but I just wish the volume would decrease significantly because I also agree with iSm that, as much as I might be able to separate a remake from its source, movies don't exist in a vacuum. I still feel that public perception of a movie is part and parcel to its value and a bad remake, even if it is only due to people's stupidity, does alter that .
