My random topic for the moment. Some remakes are spectacularly re-envisioning of classics. Others are...not.
If a remake can't be good, what would you prefer it be?
Bad so that the original is more appreciated?
Forgettable so that it doesn't really matter in the passing of time?
Laughable so you can at least from some enjoyment?
Cancelled so not to hurt anything except those who spent money and were expecting paychecks?

Laughable; if you can't top the original make a beautiful disaster that makes you giggle at it.
See; Nicolas Cage Wicker Man

Laughable. Because if it's bad, then people may doubt the goodness of the original. But laughable is owned solely by those who f'd up the remake.

Whatever the hell Total Recall WASN'T... so Laughable I guess.
That movie blew wolfman sized nards.

Not necessarily Laughable, but if a remake is just plain weird, where you watch it going "WTF is this?!" that can be enjoyable in its own way. Does that make sense?
