Georgec's comment was clearly ironic and made for humorous effect - you might have taken it a tad too seriously.
Thank you for clarifying it. I did read it seriously, after all, people sometimes have so bizarre opinions (like PT being superior to OT etc.)...
Why not remaking Citizen Kane? Let's make it Faster, More IntenseTM! And yeesh, it's black&white, not very HD and Blu-Ray ready!
Let's remake Godfather! So that it's more accessible to GTA players generation! < /irony >
Let's face it. Remakes are fairly harmless when done to relatively unknown or failed movies - or when it's another film adaptation of a play/book/etc. Trying to make a better movie than a widely recognized original/old version is not only bold, but also somewhat ...inconsiderate? Not only towards the creator of the original, but also to all people who loved his work.
