Big budget remakes of successful movies really piss me off. They take little or no imagination to write or produce. Anyone can do it and they make millions of dollars just in their opening weekend. They piss me off because I wish I had thought of the idea first.

Not even good movies are off the remake radar. According to Variety, the Weinsteins are looking to remake the classic B-movie thriller “Piranha.”

It gets worse. They want to do it in 3-D. Hmmm, a third movie in a killer animal franchise that takes place in 3-D? Tell me why they think this will be a good idea again?

It gets even worse. One of the writers putting the script together is a writer on the reality show “The Hills.” Reality show writers get to write movies now? I think that if you want to write fictional shows for a living, you should learn how to make reality look real first.

Hollywood dictator-for-life Bob Weinstein said he wanted to do the movie in 3-D because…

The film presents us with a unique opportunity to launch a new global franchise and take advantage of the incredible developments in 3-D technology.”

What’s so technologically advanced about 3-D? It hasn’t changed much since the 1960’s. And why would I want a crappy movie that I don’t want 300 feet in front of me in a movie theater even closer to my face? I’d rather the studio throw real piranha at my face. Now that’s an innovative movie experience. Suck on that IMAX.
