The Problem With Hollywood Remakes
Realbighits

Everyone has a movie that they really enjoy. Whether it's an action, comedy, horror, or drama film, everyone has that one film that they love to watch over and over again. It's a type of movie that never leaves the person's heart and is enjoyed by them and many other people throughout history. However, none of these movies are safe anymore from the evil side of Hollywood. Every movie as seen today has the potential of being thrown back into production and becoming another horrifying: Hollywood Remake! (Dun Dun DUNNNNNN!).

While not all Hollywood remakes can be bad, the problem right now is the fact that Hollywood has run out of ideas. Since this is the case, they decide that they should remake all of the most popular movies that have ever been made. Movies like "Ghostbusters," "The Mummy" and many others are always seen as back in production and going back into the theaters with new actors and actresses. The problem with this is the fact that the movies being remade are the ones that people actually do enjoy. Imagine if Hollywood decided to remake huge movie successes like "Lord of the Rings," "Star Wars," "Harry Potter" or even single movies like "Forrest Gump," "Saving Private Ryan" or "The Shawshank Redemption." It would probably bomb in theaters and give the original movies a bad name to the people who haven't seen the original movies yet.

Personally, if Hollywood was smart, they would try to remake the movies that didn't do so well if they really have no other ideas for a movie. Constantly remaking movies that are enjoyed by so many people to begin with is a little strange and it also irritates people when Hollywood is willing to change a movie that everyone loves just to see if they can make more money off of it. If they were willing to try and remake a movie that didn't do so well, then I don't think as many people would care and people would probably still end up seeing it.

The problem is that Hollywood doesn't have any new ideas and when they can't think of anything, they decide that the best thing to do is remake a huge success movie and that way they can make more money off of that title. Hollywood really needs to learn that the people that enjoyed the movie in the past don't want to see it remade, especially when there's no reason for it. Personally, Hollywood needs to try their best to just think of new movie ideas and leave the classics alone. The audience is sick and tired of seeing new remakes of their favorite movies. If Hollywood would stop with the constant remakes, the audience would be a lot happier.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
