I think the openeing post for this thread is about the most well thought out, well executed explanation of the remake "phenomena" i have seen. You can't really hate them for much more than being a bad movie, it doesnt reflect on the original in any way.
I think what most people seem to hate about them isn't even immediately apparent to them. They may hate it because it is a bad movie, btu there is the underlying feeling that something they enjoy and maybe have some emotional investment in is being used for some lesser purpose, kind of like finding out a couple of football player got the girl you liked in highschool drunk and got head from her, it cheapens the experience.
Another part is that a LOT of people these days are personally offended that there seems to be a lack of originality in the entertainment industry these days, especially amongst those of us who want to make a break for ourselves with some truly original ideas, but can't sell shit because the people writing the checks want something that has sold in the past.
