Sometimes it gets annoying that Hollywood is so obsessed with remaking existing films, but they’re not always terrible. Which one is your favorite?
Off the top of my head, I’m gonna vote for the Chris Rock version of Death at a Funeral. I was hella skeptical when they announced it because the British version had only been out for a couple years, but it’s just as good. (It helps that Peter Dinklage was in both.) I also really like the Star Trek reboot, because let’s face it, some of the original movies are kinda terrible, even if I love them anyway.

Does Buffy the Vampire Slayer count? I’ve never actually seen the movie, but I know that the tv show was a reboot, right?
Oh, you have to see the movie! It’s cheesy as fuck but awesome.
Batman Begins (movie) and The Flash (TV).
I ..think I liked Andrew better for Spiderman than Tobey, especially because Tobey had to do Possessed Dancing Spiderman.
Not really sure. We just watched Captain America last night and I liked it MUCH better than the 1970-something version when I was a kid. I think it depends on the movie. The newer Supermans (Supermen?) are pretty good though my heart will always belong to Christopher Reeve. (RIP)
