Do you Hollywood are making too many reboots of old movies?

Give me the Marx Brothers, all the 1930's screwball comedies, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, The Three Stooges, Mel Brooks, Abbot and Costello, The Muppets, and Monty Python any day over what now passes for comedy.

What was Sony thinking by giving the Spider-Man franchise another reboot?

I'm wondering when they are going to reboot Pretty Woman with the male & female roles reversed

I've heard they're doing a remake of Stephen King's "IT" I don't know why when the old one was good.

Hollywood for the most part is out of original ideas. So they reboot stuff way too much for movies and television. It's pretty sad really. Almost all reboots have been horrid. Plus a growing trend seems to be making books into movies- which I don't usually like either. The book is almost always better. Even when the movie follows the book really closely, its still pretty bad in my view.

You know what else bugs me about reboots at times? When people love to say "oh it wrecked my childhood because I use to love this" or "there goes the series I loved", which is just silly. There was no guarantee you would love the series forever even if a reboot never came! Plus its not the end of the world if something bad comes out. Easy to move on and ignore the thing you hate, rather than focus on it as a way to complain....
