As for Wolfcop... You don't know me well, my friend. I have no limitations when it comes to werewolves. They are my everything and I have watched and bought plenty of bad shit out of the heat of the moment for that fandom. I don't exactly have a level head for my lycanthropes like I do the classics, because I WANT to support anything werewolf. It encourages the people to keep making things for them. It's a genre all it's own, where as a classic should most times just remain as such, before it's butchered in a remake.
However, speaking of remakes, I believe after watching Nostalgia Critic's review for Micheal Bay's TMNT bullshit, I think I've become less anal about it. Remakes are support in their own way, and just another version of it. That's what I keep trying to tell myself, but old habits die hard.

I can understand not wanting to waist money, that's why I see all of my movies matinee style. Cant beat $5 for a movie, good or bad. Personally I enjoyed the new Turtles. I consider myself an old school turtles fan, I still own all of the VHS tapes including the ones Burger King was giving out as exclusives. Regardless, I am 100% capable of ignoring that there was an original and accepting any movie, remake or not, as an original movie. It makes them much easier to watch when you don't compare every aspect to what you loved about the original.
