Why remake a semi-classic?

I know I am a bit behind on my movies but on vacation we were talking about "Love Don't Cost a Thing", a remake of the 80's classic "Can't Buy Me Love". Last night, to catch up a bit, I popped it in the DVD player. OHG! Why? Maybe I am just not hip enough anymore but the original is so much better. As I was watching it, I was very tempted to just stop it all together and put grab Can't Buy Me Love but I gave it a shot and it just wasn't good. No more remakes for a while.

A not-so-great movie did give time to concentrate on knitting. I am rolling along on the Sunrise Circle Jacket (row 58 on the left front). I worked a few rows on both the lava flow socks and Backyard Leaves. Feels good.
