1. Hot-Alpha-Under
A: They're all kinds of dogs. (Hot Dog, Alpha Dog, Underdog.)
2. Invitations-Credit Cards- nouns
A: It's too good, I can't spoil it.
3. The works of Shakespeare-Japanese Horror Films-Classic rock songs
A: All things that, when a remake of it comes out, people get super-mad.
It's not an agument I've ever understood. People talk about remakes like they're going to replace the original, and you won't be able to get anything but the remake anymore. And that scenario just doesn't happen (except with Star Wars).
It's not heracy to do your own take on a previous work, because it's not scripture to begin with.
(Please note that actual scripture has gotten plenty of remakes, many of which have been well-received.)
There's just no reason to get angry about remakes.* I mean, I think my mother's Thanksgiving stuffing is the definitive version of THAT, but you don't see me getting riled up when someone buys some Stovetop.
*Unless they cast Keanu Reeves. I'll give you that one.
