For the movie-goer: Ho hum.
Yes, you've hit the nail on the head: It's all about the money. But as someone who appreciates a good movie for more than brain-dead comedy, I would love to see a little more originality in Hollywood. They seem to be falling on the marketability of a "brand" name like a 70s TV show.
As for remakes not being a new phenomenon, you can't argue that there are more and more - of course, there's always been remakes. But they used to be based more on "worthiness", not on what will make a quick buck. The 80s when the remake/sequel phenomenon really took off and it's been pretty much all downhill since then imo.
