Remakes I can take but only if they add much more to the original rather than a lite-version of the original.

As for Hollywood's Remake-o-Mania, don't get me started. I think Hollywood has become, in the last 5-8 years, ridiculously terrified of making anything that might fail -- thus, REmaking something that worked before must sound perfect. That and Hollywood is now run by suits who have even less of a clue what makes a good movie than the previous generation did, which means they can't pick a good project from a bad one -- which means they'll go with the remakes. And I guess sinking hundreds of millions of dollars into a movie that may tank just doesn't appeal. Yet another example of bloat throttling an industry's creativity. Can you say M M O development? ;) The story is good because it’s based on a Philip K Dick short story (“We can remember it for you wholesale”), who for all his quirks was generally spot-on about the absurdities (and possibilities) of the shape of things to come.
