Why all of the bad remakes of good movies?

[Zenigundam]

Isn't it ridiculous? And kids are actually associating the new films with.the franchises they reboots of. No wonder all of the kid actors today are pussies. Yeah and at least the pre millennium remakes were remakes of crappy black and white movies that sucked by any measure.

Remakes have been more about grabbing your nostalgia dollars than improving older films that could've been amazing under better direction or technology.

Fright Night was probably the worst remake I've ever seen. Why? Seriously, why?

they remade the horror movie "Single White Female" as "the Roomate" like 10 years after it's original release and I have absolutely no idea why
