In the past 20 years, I have lamented the lack of creativity in Hollywierd. Evidence of this are the painful remakes of classic films that, well... didn't need remaking. I think they should have been left alone out of respect of the originals. Apparently, Naomi Watts, monkey femme fatale of recent "King Kong" fame feels the same way. And I quote:
Even though she (Watts) is starring in a remake of a classic Hollywood movie, she said, "It's weird there are so many remakes at the moment. There's a great lack of good material and new ideas. It's emblematic of our times. We've run out of ideas, which is sinful. We're going to burn out."

Comments? Do you agree or disagree with Watts?
With all this in perspective, how would you as an Indyfan feel if 35-40 years down the road someone did remakes of the Indy trilogy? Personally, I would be very offended. It would be as if they would be saying the originals somehow aren't good enough!
