In the 80s, the movies were about the future in the 2010s while ...
now we are remaking movies of the 1980s!

It is a sad state of what Hollywood has become. It seems that Hollywood is mostly out of original ideas.
They are still remaking films today like "the Magnificent Seven." I wish they would move on to new stuff since remakes have like only a 10% chance of being good. And I can't think of a remake that was better than the original. The closest might be "Amityville Horror" and "Cape Fear." At least horror films don't have as many remakes like they used to.
Who knows maybe in 2047 like Star Trek: the Next Generation predicted, the movie industry will stop existing because they are totally out of ideas.
Scorcese's Cape Fear was great, but definitely not better than the original, IMO. AS scary as DeNiro's Cady is, Mitchum's way out menaces him.
sharewhich episode of Star Trek TNG mentions that? LOL I would like to see that :)

Commander Data: "That particular form of entertainment did not last much beyond the year 2040."
Sonny Clemmons: "Oh."
