It's only getting worse

Ugh, bad news gets worse every day. Today's bad news started with word that the Strause Brothers are directing AVP 2. AVP 1 was bad enough. But effects guys directing is just a step further down. I mean, the track record for effect people directing is not good. Did anyone see Komodo or Starship Troopers 2?
And then the real bad news came. An american remake of one of the best movies ever, Battle Royale, is in the works.
Why?
BR is such an awesome movie already, and it's not that old. Why remake it? It's pretty much as perfect as it can be already!!!
I wonder if it's possible that Hollywood will go out of buisness in the near future. Maybe video games and indie films will take over completely. Yeah right. Not likely.
