Sequals are not always bad, some have been better or have added to the old, Mad Max as an example, Alien as another. What they have to stop doing is so many bad 'remakes'. They hardly ever work and are as bad as colorizaton, it usually destroys the original movie or takes away from it big. There are exceptions I guess, like Titanic. Consider remakes like PSP tubings only with permission and you know what to expect, just lots of added sparkles and blinkies and once in a while if you get great actors and a revamped story making for a shocker hit; but most of the time it's just a money grabber on something familiar that worked before and might work again with some added twinkies. Ever notice that once big hits end up on DVD rental shelves there's zoodles of clones released just before or at the same time? Isn't the imagination something?!
