Saw the latest trailer for the new Star Wars and damnit, I was 6/7 years old again...

I want. Want it now!

Yes, some new stuff would be good, but I think a lot of the newer releases have been going to mini series or outright series on Starz and HBO. Outlander for instance... yummy.

I'm not super excited about all of the movies in your WANT TO SEE list (and none of the ones in your DON'T WANT TO SEE list--except maybe Hunger Games) but specifically concerning remakes, my complaint is NOT that Hollywood makes them, it's that they make the WRONG ones. Why remake a classic like Mad Max when you can't even approach equaling it, let alone improving it. Let's remake the crapfests that SHOULD have been good and went so, so wrong.

Hollywood is not about creativity it is about reducing risk. A new idea needs a lot of selling and is impossible to redict how it will go down. Sequels have a built in guaranteed audience; they have a premade trailer. "No Brainer 2" is already sold to people who loved "No Brainer" so they can depend on getting those people's dollars again.

Execs don't read scripts any more they read balance sheets and sales projections.

Whether the film is any good or not makes not the slightest difference!

Personally, I'm looking forward to "No Brainer 7; an insult to the intelligence"

I am not bothered so much by sequels as I am by remakes..those I wont touch with a 10lb bag of popcorn... if a sequel is based on a book trilogy then it offers merit to continue the story, to just add something that was fine in itself is another story.. ( ha, no pun)

To me the best and worthless sequel is The Godfather..1 & 2. GF3 was a waste of 2 hours I will never get back..and as a foot note there GF1 & 2 are televised more often, way more than 3...and that's a good thing..
