I see we are using the term "classic" very loosely, when it is used in the phrase 'remaking classics from the 80's'.

Not classic in the sense that "The Sound of Music" is a classic. Classic in the sense that it's a film that reminds us of an era gone-by, and shouldn't be fooled with.
Like the remake of Conan, I'm severely offended by it. Have you seen the douche they are getting to play the part of Conan? Jason Momoa...
This is the guy they chose to take Arnold's place...REALLY!?
In this sense, Conan is a classic, and should not be fooled with.
When I say classic I mean films that anyone in our age group would be like "oh yeah I remember that movie!!!" when the title is mentioned. It's just not right.
It's kind of like The Expendables. It slaughtered at the box office, but if you talk to younger guys, guys who didn't grow up with the Arnold genre of movies, they don't understand the point of the film. They see it as some shitty action movie. They don't understand why The Expendables was so awesome. It was an homage to the ridiculous action films of the 80's and 90's, the genre that Arnold started.
Films like this should be preserved in the Maniverse's Vault of Time, and should not be adulterated in any shape or form.
These are films I want to cherish and preserve, and show them to my son when I have one. I want to show them to him and have him understand what it is to be a man. I don't want to show him the remake featuring the weiner dude with dreads.

Some of you may not realise, but The Matrix is already 11 years old. Give it a few years and Hollywood will remake that as well.
Seriously!!! WTF!?!? Its insulting to pick someone who looks like that douchebag to take the place of Arnold. I mean, I personally am not against remakes if they are good. I thought Superman was a fine updated remake for example. But how could you possibly remake Conan and have it be good? I mean, the movie itself is ridiculous. The reason it was good was because Schwartzy was in it in all of his hugeness. At the time he was as big as it gets which is why everyone liked it. He really did look like a barbarian. Now they get some skinny bitch to do it.. retarded.
I just found at that they are remaking 'Fright Night'..........WTF...Think of some original ideas.
Also I heard Escape from New York was getting remade.
Seems like any twat can become a movie director these days as long as he has a movie in mind ready to rape.
