Nights of the Very Alive Remakes

"They're coming to get you Barbara!"

Yes they are and there is nothing you can do about it. As any cold blooded movie goer knows, the past couple years have been the "Age of Remakes". For the sake of readability, I'll change this to the "Age of Revival", it doesn't seem so 'fau pas'.
So the age of revival is upon us. Most of us who are faithful to our mistress, the film industry, know the movies and for those who haven't expanded their horizons probably have no idea the movie is a remake. At least until they hear it from the people below them who are telling them to stop kicking their fucking chairs.
So what do we think of these 'revivals' ? Well from discussions, debates, rants, etc. The overall thoughts are not so good. Why ? Well other than the obvious reason of the movie being a big piece of paper bagged, flaming dog shit. It's possibly because those of us who are fans of the original film are scared. Yes, scared. The fact that someone has taken something that we either love, respect, think is the holy grail, etc. and made it their own; is change. We all hate change. It takes us away from our comfort zone. So some of us rebel against it. Whether it be because of our thick skulls, rock hard beliefs and just plain old stubbornness. We have to accept that directors, writers and producers are reviving our classics and bringing them to the youths of today. Some people may be saying there is no 'originality' anymore. Maybe so. But is there much left to be original with, without taking SOMETHING from another film that may have inspired or may have been a favourite? Probably not. We go with what works. These classics worked. And STILL work in their original forms. So why not spruce them up with technology and some new talent?
Personally, I have no problem with these 'revivals' . The good ones anyways. But I do admit full heartedly that there have been some horribly fucking done 'revivals' that are probably not worth the name they bare. Nonetheless we are left to hope for something spectacular. Something true to the original, without destroying it. In my eyes, I have an incredible amount of sympathy goes out to the directors, writers who have to put these things together. The pressures and stresses they must feel is probably ridiculous.
So with that, Will I go see a 'Revival'? Probably. Will I enjoy it? Possibly. Will I use a couple bad 'revivals' to denounce other upcoming films of the same nature? I sure as hell will try not to.
Should you all adopt my commandments? Fuck yes.
