I'm sick of these damn movie remakes...
Every friggin' year the movie industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars ruining classic movies, great comics, and television shows that were canceled for a good reason.

Why oh why does there HAVE to be another War of the Worlds or Planet of the Apes? WHY!

LESS CRAP MORE FEEDING THE POOR OR SOMETHING!!

In the words of Napoleon Dynamite -- "GAWD!...JEEZ!"

3. It's frustrating
Which is why I generally stick to independent and/or foreign films these days.

10. Hollywood is lost
No one has any good ideas for movies anymore. People forgot how to write and be creative.

12. I have this feeling that Hollywood is getting good scripts, but...
they aren't willing to make the movies because they might, just by chance, lose money.

Like they don't lose just as much money on remake flops.

Plus, original thoughts might be offensive, we have to keep that in mind.
