   Most of the "mainstream" movies these days are idiotic reboots,   
   remakes, and/or resurrections.   
      
   How many times do we have to see Superman's origin story??   
      
   Why is Disney so lazy and talentless that all they can do is remake   
   their previous animated successes as live-action dross?? (Dreamworks is   
   now following the same silly path with their latest "How to Train Your   
   Dragon" live-action remake.)
