Wow uh? A lot of interesting points raised in the above comments.
I guess we are all old crotchety men, or, maybe we covet certain imprints that we were first exposed to in our minds and that's where we have all set the bar. For instance in my mind there will never be another Three Stooges. Just like there will never be another Johnny Quest cartoon with Race Bannon, Hadji and Bandit. The original Mission Impossible is it, the new ones with Tom Cruise are entertaining, but to use Jesse Winchester's lyrics they "just don't deliver the punch that this old head needs." Remaking "Enter the Dragon" without Bruce Lee is sacrilege. Sean Connery is, and will be, the ONLY James Bond.
Now this doesn't necessarily mean that the "newcomers" are bad. They are just not what we want to see. :shock:
