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.

All that's bullshit. Honestly. Anyone who knows anything about the industry knows you are clueless.
1. A remake does not = braindead. Scarface was a remake. Case-closed.
2. What's wrong with marketing a brand name? Doesn't every other business do that? Oh ya, that's right, movies are "art", not business. Case-closed.
3. Post 80's remakes all shit, huh? Here are some post-80s "crap" remakes : The Birdcage, Chicago, Red Dragon, Miracle on 34th Street, Meet Joe Black, Heat, Vanilla Sky, Gone in Sixty Seconds, King Kong, so on, and so on, and so on, and not forgetting Scarface ('83)
Here is a little insight for you. Where there is a niche, it will be filled. Get a clue before you pick me up and talk utter idiocy.
