I swear a critical level of unoriginality and lameness has been reached by Hollywood. Thank the gods for Netflix.

Might as well turn the movie into an original movie, you dumb filmmakers!

Well, I think that it would be mildly interesting to see what the writers can come up with. I'm sure there would be more modern situations (i.e. the internet), sarcasm, and humour. However, I think they'd have to come up with a better and more modern character comparable to "Chainsaw".

It's so different than the original, why even bother calling it a remake? Why not just call it a new movie, and find a new title? Do they really think there's a huge group of Summer School fans who'll see the new movie just because it's a "remake"? These are the questions that keep me up at night. Also, did Adam and Eve have bellybuttons?
