I am. Even if a film is done poorly back in the day, all the remakes have the same feel to them.

Yeah, remakes suck almost every single time. If the original is silent and 18 minutes long, perhaps it’s forgivable.
This movie being remade fills me with a few thoughts...first off, there is virtually nothing to remake as this movie barely has a script and almost nothing even happens. So in that area it would be as much of an opportunity for creativity as a brand new movie.
Presumably the goal of the producers is to find some swoon worthy talent that will get people pawing themselves. The car will be fully licensed and miss the point completely ala Bumblebee in Bayformers. The OST will be two discs of licensed stuff that is %33 great, %33 horrible, and %33 not in the movie. They may try to get James Taylor to play GTO’s dad.
Basically they are turning 2001 into Forrest Gump. What a pointless pursuit...I’m sure it will make two people super rich. I wish nothing but misfortune on this project. I hope it’s as laughably out of touch as Bohemian Rhapsody. The skirts will be the wrong length, people will have post-internet levels of awareness of current events, GTOs car will be accidentally cooler than the heroes. Everyone will talk waaaaaaay too much. There will be massively too much music but no score.

(Note, I don't count Ben Hur as a remake because it's not a remake to have separate attempts at adapting the same source material.) Yeah same thing for The Maltese Falcon. I can't think of any where I prefer the remake off hand but there are some remakes I enjoyed. As long as it isn't remaking anime into live action. That never works.

That movie was utterly awful and unquestionably by Apple’s demands was filled with very in your face identity politics.
The only good thing about the movie was: Bill Murray. Everything else I simply want to forget. ...shoulda called it Zombieland 2.

I have seen all of these movies and I’ll probably never see them again but for sure I prefer the remake. This is mostly because I feel that Frank Sinatra was a !%#* who probably should have done prison time so I don’t really feel like celebrating how successful he was. It would be like watching a Bill Cosby movie now...or a Tom Cruise movie in ten years.

I Googled before I made the joke, but I decided after knowing this that the joke had to be left as it was or it wouldn’t work as well.

Well they are also smart now to make these sequels with names that trick people into thinking these are the first films made. No more rocky II III IV V etc.
