I've recently been in a debate with a user on another forum. He believes the only way people can find out about classic games, movies and music are through remakes, and that these said classics are forgotten if they aren't remade, or "remastered" as he put it. Also, in his words:
He retorted with this because I said remaking (or once again, "remastering" in his words) is not necessary in order to let classic media live on. People aren't so helpless that they need to be babied in the direction of classics through remakes.Originally Posted by Forum User!
To be honest, I'm not a fan of this sort of thing, especially the current trend to go remake nearly anything money can touch in the movie industry. I don't think remaking should be forbidden, I just don't agree with the general idea.
As far as movies go, 1998's Psycho is a route I definitely don't agree with. They opted to remake an adaptation of a book instead of going the route of fresh adaptation.
Your thoughts?
