It needed to be done.
BSG? Is that the revamped Charley? Who's going to be the new me?
Good remakes? Page 2
The all new and improved Aaron:
Got to go with The Thing, and, in similar vein, Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.
P.S. Not sure which is more intimidating when you click on the page - the screenfilling boobies or Aaron's school photo.
Worryingly, there are plans to renmake The Thing again, which will undoubtedly just be a soulless CGI fest.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Darn, I was enjoying that.
I don't think the Writers Strike helped any.

I'm glad you cleared that up for me.
Ah, intriguing! Doesn't bode well for the show that they've not made anymore though, or at least haven't committed to broadcasting. All of the new programmes I'd been watching were concluded (although with shorter than originally planned seasons) nicely, just a couple of weeks ago, after the strike finished.
The Writers Strike in the eighties did kill off Moonlighting, though. Which was a great shame. Also a shame that it hasn't had a proper DVD release yet.
Some walk by night...
Definitely Carpenter's The Thing. Also the Richard Pryor version of Brewster's Millions (but possibly only because that was the version I saw first).
Brewster's Millions is classic, didn't though it was a remake though.

Remake of an old Fatty Arbuckle film. I think it's based on a book, so I don't know if that counts as a remake or - like Tim Burton's shit version of Planet of the Apes - a 're-imagining'.
