wats with all the remakes
white Boy:
i actually like the texas chainsaw remake, i thought the original sucked
On The Edge of Insanity:
I don't like either of them, but the new one is just the same film, shot in pretty much the same way, but with more attractive women and better effects.

"Scarface" wasn't really a remake, the first film was about Al Capone in New York, they just took the essence of that film and translated it to cocaine dealing in Florida, which for me is how it should be. The film could quite easily have been called something else, and you wouldn't have even imagined it being a remake, it was simply inspired by another film.

Not really. Apart from moving the action to Florida and making the main character Cuban, 1983 Scarface has basically the same plot (updated, of course) with some characters, scenes and dialogue lines copied directly from the original.
And I don't know why you mention Al Capone and New York - wasn't he from Chicago?
Javier:
Martin Scorecese has already done a remake. Cape Fear came out in 1991 and that was a remake of the movie that was done in 1962. He's also done a sequel, lol. The Color of Money which is a sequel to the Hustler. Im not annoyed by remakes nowadays compared to what I was before.
