Please stop saying when you were born!!!! It's making me feel really, really old!!!!:D
On a more serious note, it pleases me to see younger viewers taking the time to watch and enjoy the originals that inspired the recent wave of remakes. Just to make y'all feel better (or worse), it's not just the younger generation that's unaware of the originals. I know people my own age who have no idea that recent versions of When a Stranger Calls, The Hills Have Eyes, and (take a deep breath for this one) TCM were remakes. It's enough to make you want to beat their heads against a wall.
As for a remake of Friday the 13th, I would feel a lot better about the whole thing if Michael Bay's name weren't attached to it. I know that's tacky, but "I calls 'em as I sees 'em."
On a side note, isn't his company also remaking The Hitcher? I thought I read/heard that somewhere. The only thing that piqued my curiosity was the casting of Sean Bean as the Rutger Hauer psycho. Despite my misgivings, that could prove to be very, very interesting.
