For the Love of God, Please Stop with the Remakes and Sequels!

Okay - open letter to Hollyweird - PLEASE STOP WITH THE REMAKES & SEQUELS!

I'm watching this show on ABC Family - Beautiful People. It's okay - I watched it more out of a curiosity factor because Grant Show was going to be appearing on it with his former Melrose Place co-star, Daphne Zuniga. So far, eehh.. okay. Not anything I'd Tivo, but okay to keep on while cleaning. During this episode, they show a commercial for yet another "sequel" - CUTTING EDGE II. Hello, CUTTING EDGE II? What's next, Roadhouse II, Outsiders II. Hell, there's already a Karate Kid IV and a Dirty Dancing II. Give me a break. The same is to be said for those "80s/70s" remakes of songs that labels are redoing, hoping to get the same chart success a second time around.

So, here's an idea for Music, Television & Studio Execs. Stop trying to replicate a "formula" and redoing a movie/show/song just hoping for the same $ucce$$ as the original might have had. I.E. CSI: N.Y., CRIMINAL MINDS, and "Boys of Summer" by DJ Sammy. Do something original. There are tons of writers with original thoughts, song, movie or otherwise. Use that. Employ that. See that thrive.

As for Cutting Edge II - SOOO not interested!
