Stacey: OmG, like, The Hitcher, The Wicker Man, and Dark Water were a few of my favorite horror-thrillers of recent years!
Dave: You do realize those are all remakes of existing films, right? The originals are highly superior. The Hitcher '86, for example, is a beloved cult classic and a staple of any self-respecting genre fan's collection. Dark Water, is just another example of a somwhat dumbed-down Americanized take on an Asian horror flick (Japan in this case).
Stacey: I swear--like, I had no idea!
Dave: That's because your brain is comprised primarily of Tampax fibers and oxygenated lip gloss residue, and your soul is trapped in daddy's credit cards.
Stacey: Oxygenemated? Hehe big words make my head twirl! Anyways I like you! You're a naughty, sexy asshole you would belittle me at every possible opportunity--just what I craaave! Let's go get a smoothie!
Dave: You could use a remake--after all, there's lot of room to improve on the original.
Stacey: Cosmo! Brangelina!

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory does not qualify as a remake of Willy Wonka, as they are both based on the book & are very different.

Get the remake mug.Related Words
Resident Evil remake on Nintendo GameCube, hence the "RE" being capatilazied, which stands for Resident Evil, and "remake", meaning it's a remade game.
REmake is a lot different than its original predecessor, Resident Evil on PlayStation. It features a redone voice cast, dialogue, Crimson Skulls, better graphics and sound, and new areas. Thus, it is also different from a port.

Get the REmake mug.Recycling, but for the entertainment industry. A stupid, cheap, lazy way to make money. Simply take something that already exists from years ago... and resell it! Do the bare minimum to modernize it, like change a few words in the script and adjust it for modern-day sensibilities, and then sit back and let the money roll in. Somehow, this works.
"Disney's on a roll lately with their live action remakes!"
"Yeah, it takes an extreme level of talent to throw darts at a board of their existing properties, instead of actually... you know, thinking of something new."
