Hollywood does seem to be making a bunch of pointless sequels don't they? Or remaking movies that came out fifteen to twenty years earlier.

That's a fact, yes. And since they want money, money, money, it's an easy thing to do because as we all know big names sell and people rather watch part 2, 3 of a blockbuster than something innovative . The 15-20 year remakes are obvious. Take e.g. Spiderman (2002) vs. The Amazing Spiderman (2012). Everybody who was too young to watch the "original" movie back then can now enjoy the updated version. It's very easy, just repeat the same stuff every decade or 15 years and make easy money.
I don't care for most of the movies to be honest. I like "special" movies that are cleverly written and have an interesting plot and some message or several layers of messages. So I try to watch less movies but some with quality. Too many movies I saw in cinema (it's always a problem because my friends have different taste and can enjoy these mainstream movies, which I mostly don't) were okayish to boring/bad, and you pay even more than if you would by the dvd (yes, d-v-d, that's what I watch on my like 10 year old television) and also I have to enjoy the German dubs instead of the original voices, despite the good dubbing quality the original is better of course. Too much money for little to no fun.
