By George I think I've got it!

The solution for the "movie remake blues" that is.

Since every major company in Hollywood no longer wants to hire people who are actually creative and just want to rehash old movies, then instead of making crappy remakes of good movies like Ocean's Eleven, they should make remakes of movies that were god-awful bad to begin with! Perhaps they can actually make a good movie out of them, and if not, well, no one's going to whine if the remake of Plan 9 From Outter Space staring Paris Hilton and Simon Cowell sucks since the original stinks too.

Now if we could just convince those idiots who run the studios what a great idea this is!

Improving a bad movie gives you one more good movie to watch .

Maybe you can tackle the movies that are so bad they're good. Like the Toxic Avenger trilogy! Leaves a very bad taste in your mouth, and makes you want to see more. Sort of like a train wreck. You can't look away!

Lurker, think how hard it is to get a script sold in Hollywood for those of us that write scripts. They want things that most of us that write just gag at. Why do you think people like Spielberg make their own.

The remake of Oceans Eleven was superb! Clooney was fantastic. Sure the original with the Rat Pack was good, but the remake was incredible.

I was just joking around, Aragon. Today is the release of the remake of The Omen. They're planning on making yet another crappy sequel to the crappy remake of Ocean's Eleven called Ocean's Thirteen. If you go on IMDB you'll see there's plans to remake The Munsters and The A-Team as feature films. No one in the major studios in Hollywood has any creativity anymore. It's sickening.

Besides, the thought of Simon Cowell and Paris Hilton in a movie together has got to be funny to someone out there.
