2. Hard to beat

the indelible mark the original left on my mental palate. Looks interesting. "The Butterfly"=Papillon

3. Wow! Rami Malek is a busy guy

Papillion actually screened at the Toronto Film Festival last September and won't get wide release until August.

But I can't wait for Bohemian Rhapsody in November.

4. C'mon Hollywood

Make an effort, will ya?

Rule #1: Re-makes suck
Rule #2: There is no Rule #2

There is a reason why films from Britain and Europe are so much better that anything Hollywood puts out.

5. I have to agree, there is no need to constantly remake classics

And even less of a need for films that weren't all that good to begin with. And now it's become a trend with TV shows. Aren't there any original ideas out there??

6. I feel that, a lot of the time, remakes are more about changing the message of the original

Two that come to mind immediately are Deathrace and Night of the Living Dead
