remakes, Hollywood and other
Lots of talk about remakes being all soulless crap that prove mass media is creatively bankrupt lately.
And yeah many are. It's easier to sell people something they know than all new
But many aren't, and it's not like the idea is new. Hell two of my favorite songs are retellings of stories that are 100s of years old!
I think long copyrights have distorted the culture around remakes and remixes a lot, because you see less if the organic creativity and more cash ins.

Does The Princess Bride need to be remade? Ehh no. Will any remake suck? Probably! But read that and tell me that wouldn't work if done well
