Obviously, there is some resistance to Hollywood’s constant remaking of movies. I think this stems from the fact that the original movies are good, or at least hold a warm, golden place in our heavy, nostalgic hearts. And also that Hollywood’s tendency is never to improve on the past, but simply to exploit it for profit. Well shut up, you guys! Stop complaining! Hollywood is obviously remaking movies at an exponential rate, so we might as well get on board and get really excited about it. Over-excited if you ask me. Check out these two items from this morning’s Variety:

Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment are joining forces to turn the Dr. Seuss book “The Lorax” into a 3-D CG animated feature.

AWESOME! THIS IS THE BEST NEWS I HAVE EVER HEARD!

Though published in 1971, “The Lorax” has a timely “green” theme.

YEAH IT DOES! I LIKE CARING ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE IT’S TIMELY!
