My main problem with remaking old movies is that quite often, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the original and making another just like it (or bastardizing it by taking out all that made it good in the first place) is either redundant or creates yet more dreck. I have no problem if a filmmaker remakes a film that had potential it didn't live up to and he/she sees a way to pull that potential out (though I must confess I really7 can't think of any examples off the top of my head). The sanitizing of DR 2000 is a case in point. Without the sick black humor all it is is a muscle cars with guns movie, and a bad one at that.
