OT:Carrie Remake
I don't know about y'all, but this remake has me in a Catch-22. I both want to and I don't want to watch it. As a kid, I read the book and watched the original. Classic. The remake looks good but why? Money? The original can't be topped. Sissy Spacek was amazing and simply perfect for the role. Moretz is too cute for the role.
On a similar note, there are way too many remakes. I haven't and I won't watch Total Recall on GP.

Really the only remakes I have enjoyed were Battlestar Galatica (which was a "reimagining" but definitely different) and Batman with Christian Bale.
NO point in watching a remake. NOTHING tops the 1976 version. Sissy should have won the Oscar. I remember watching the premiere on Valentine's Day 1976.
I also enjoyed reading a number of fantasy books by Piers Anthony especially the series involving special characters like Death, maybe fate, and other characters. Sorry it's been a long time since I read those books. I thought it was amusing when one guy thought he was going to commit suicide and then he ended up becoming Death himself.
Another amusing book could be a fun movie. I don't remember the name but an alien ship landed in front of the UN. The UN had protocols and they jammed all the signals. One if the gangs in New York somehow broke I into the ship and ended up fucking up all the alien equipment the really illegal aliens had planned. The aliens were renegades among the aliens and had already destroyed several planets by broadcasting a signal after arriving announcing a large space fleet of ships would arrive to take over or destroy the planet if their numerous demands weren't met and they never were. It was amusing to read. There is plenty of material to make good movies without all the remakes.
