When we start accepting remakes (and remakes of remakes) without scepticism, the genre is fucked much like throwaway boyband music and Euro-pop - covering and sampling old records - have ruined the music charts.

I understand what you're saying COMPLETELY.....Unfortunately...It doesn't seem like anyone is coming up with any NEW ideas, that are better than the old ones they're ripping off and remaking....*sigh*
