I think my biggest question regarding iPhone 3G is, what will it cost me? I know that it's *199 and *299, but that * says with an eligible 2 year contract. I just upgraded to a new phone 8 months ago. I wonder if the iPhone will cost me 499, or will it be 299 if I redo my contract? They haven't made this clear. In fact, ATT has been sheepish about all the finer details about questions like that saying "We haven't decided." or "We haven't discussed this yet." My ass. I don't see the point in keeping all the plan/pricing details under wraps after the phone has been announced.
I was actually looking at the LG Vu also, since it has gotten some very good reviews, but alas, the MobileTV option (You can get unlimited internet and unlimited live mobileTV for the price of iPhone 3G's unlimited internet) isn't available around here.

I think the unfortunate answer as to why TPTB are doing remakes upon remakes is that the formula works most of the time. If they make a remake, a lot of times it's going to bring them some bank because it comes with a built-in fan base. I think they would rather do that, or suckle the teet of a tried and true pre-established franchise rather than take a risk on something new and original.
While the majority of remakes resemble bastard stepchildren of their predecessors, I think some have an heir of worthiness of their own. A few that come to mind are The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Dawn of the Dead, and The Hills Have Eyes. Interestingly, all horror movies.

Speaking of pooping on childhood memories, I believe I've read something about either a Goonies remake or sequel.

One remake I would actually love to see is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I know no one could play FranknFurter as well as Tim Curry, but I think a modern take on the movie could work well with todays audiences.
