Remakes

Sometimes Remakes are a good thing. Half of Disney's recent films are remakes of their failed films. And Mad Max Fury Road is amazing! However, when you take an amazing movie form an amazing director and announce that you are remaking it, I get a little pissed.
There was nothing wrong with the original Memento!!!!! Why the literal hell is there going to be a remake? Memento is one of Christopher Nolan's greatest works, and that is saying a lot! It one of my all time favorite films! It is perfect! Why would anyone think it needs remade? HOw could they possibly think that they stand a chance at one upping Nolan?? I'll tell you this now, they do not stand any chance! There is no way on earth that this film will be any form of improvement over Nolan's! The acting could never be better either! Guy Pearce was perfect! If you can't tell I am a little passionate about this topic.
Most remakes suck. Not all of them. Narnia was a huge improvement (even though each movie progressively got worse).
Lots of remakes though just.... ruin good movies! Who would want to watch a remake of the miracle on 34th street? Who watches the remakes of the Wizard of Oz? Sure there are spin-offs. Spin-offs can be ok. They usually show the story from the perspective of a different character, which is a concept that I love!
My point is, If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And Memento is not broken!
