Okay, what the hell is up with all the Asian remakes?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

There was The Ring, then The Grudge, then Kairo, etc. Fine, random horror movies I can deal with...

Then they remake Infernal Affairs as "The Departed" and although they have a great cast, I've heard they're royally fucking up the script.

Not only that, but apparently Old Boy is going to be remade.

And Ikiru.

And the most recent boys and girls?

New Line Cinema has apparently made it possible for Hollywood to remake Battle Royale.

How the fuck are they going to do that and not make it really, really shitty?

Hmm?
