There are a slew of remakes and restarts that are planned: Labyrinth, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Meatballs, Short Circuit, Dirty Dozen, Footloose, Jesus Christ Superstar, Clash of the Titans, Child's Play, Highlander, Sharkey's Machine, Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill, Robocop, Conan, The Warriors, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Knight Rider, Magnum P.I., The Seven Samurai, Escape from New York, The Jericho Mile, Death Wish, Porky's, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, The Birds, Rififi, The Last House on the Left, Hellraser, Friday the 13th, and on and on...

Ignore all of these, almost all of these are cheap attempts to play to the amnesiac generation coming up today who are too young to remember VHS tapes. A majority of these films weren't worth making a first time. The fact that utter crap like Short Circuit and Death Wish are even in consideration for being redone is evidence of how corrupt our culture has become. The decay of post-modern self-referential entertainment combined with investment safety obsessed corporation oversight has stagnated our culture to the point that our arts are in atrophy.

Here's a tip to everyone who wants better movies - if we don't go see this nonsense they will stop making it.
