Bout to get a new car

I went from wanting an Audi in December to being dead set on a 87 Camaro

Gonna roll up to the club blasting Com Truise, hop out with pilot stunnas and a members only leather jacket.

Too cheap to spring for icing. Not even any sprinkles. Or a real table cloth since its sitting on what looks like Styrofoam.

No plates either.

Kind of a terrible attitude to have, but I hope Oldboy 2013 is infinitely better than the original, just so Spike Lee haters can hold the L.

Well, outside of cinematography, there's probably a good chance that this could happen since the original is the very definition of overrated. Chan-Wook Park is a great director, and has an eye for visuals, but he's a terrible screenwriter which was definitely the weak link of the original. Well that and the actor behind the film's antagonist.

And it doesn't matter if the remake is better then the original, people will convince themselves otherwise. The Karate Kid remake is better than the original, but nostalgia and hatred for remakes and Jaden Smith have convinced people otherwise. Hell, people have convinced themselves that Spike Lee is a terrible director and has only a fluke good film to his credit, simply because they hate the man behind the camera.

I'm guilty of it sometimes, but the whole idea that "classic" pieces of art/media should be untouchable and never experimented with needs to go away. Or at least chill out a little bit.

It's some hypcrotical BS too. You can separate the man from the art. It's not like these same people haven't been enjoying Roman Polanski's films over the last few decades.
