Remakes...Sequels...and Bad Acting, Oh My

Is Hollywood running out of ideas? I can understand Kill Bill, Volumes I and II, but I can't quite understand why these people in Hollywood feel the need to remake a classic or turn out a horrible sequel. The examples are endless. I loved Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery, but Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me was pretty lame (I did like AP: Goldmember, but it still didn't quite stack up to the original). Scarlett was a made-for-TV miniseries based on a book of the same name, as well as a sequel to Gone With the Wind...awful. Just awful. Bewitched, The Dukes of Hazzard, Scary Movie 2, all stinkbombs. Grease was the word in '78, but why Grease 2?...Love Michelle Pfeiffer, but girlfriend can not dance.

There are a few exceptions. The latest King Kong movie is getting rave reviews.

But Hollywood remade Psycho, with word-for-word dialogue starring Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche, and it still sucked.

H'Wood!! You're boring me here!! The Class of 2005 was by far the worst year in movie history.
