Or maybe they could make new fucking movies instead of everything being an inferior remake. Film is not stage.

Welcome to Pet Peeves, where the little things that annoy you are welcome.
Ever notice the thousands of posts and comments out there that just grind your gears? You always want to say something about how much whatever it is sucks, and you hate it. But, then you're going off topic and get people mad at you.
Well, don't do that. Come here instead! Tell us about your pet peeve!
Rules are simple
1: Do not link to comments or posts elsewhere. This ain't power tripping bastards, we aren't here to judge users or mods, we're here to vent a little spleen about the minor annoyances of life.
2: IF screen shots are used, they must have any and all user names obscured fully, and any community names as well. Like already said, this isn't about going after anyone or anywhere in specific, it's about us having a peeve.
3: Wheaton's law is in effect. Don't be a dick. It ain't cool, and it won't be allowed to stay up. Fair warning ahead of time, mods make the call as to what is and isn't dickish. Complaining about it won't get you anywhere. If it's a misunderstanding, so be it, but the dickish comment will still be gone because if one person reads it as dickish, more probably would too. So go back and rewrite whatever it was.
4: If it isn't obvious, bigotry is inherently dickish. Doesn't matter if it's blatant or dog whistles, don't do it, you'll get immediately banned.
5: Cursing is absolutely allowed, but not cursing at people. Motherfuckers may well be annoying, but when you specify an individual as a motherfucker, that's not likely to end in a friendly way. You dig, motherfuckers?
Post guidelines
Try to remember that any pet peeve you have is likely something other beings do with no ill intent. So try to keep it about you, not them. Explain why it annoys you, rather than just ranting about other people, there's already communities for that kind of thing.
Example: Turn signals being left on. Annoying as hell, because now you don't know if they're really signaling to turn, if it's something they didn't know they did, etc, so now you have to pay extra attention instead of focusing on your own driving and navigation.
Don't just complain about how stupid the people must be, how inconsiderate. Keep the focus on the inconvenience itself.
Feel free to refer folks here when they go off topic about their peeves, that's part of why we're here :)

Hey, sometimes it's not inferior!
... still agree with the general sentiment, though... "safe bets" are exactly why so many fucking capitalist enterprises fail if the greed doesn't directly kill them.
Just look at Disney and their current floundering. Sure, it'll be a long spiral downward for a billions and billions of dollars corp, but that doesn't magically erase the spiral.
I disagree. Could you imagine another actor playing John Malkovich in Being John Malkovich
Tilda Swinton?
Sure. They just might not do as good of a job.
I mean, most of the time, I feel that the expression is just an hyperbole to express how good one actor performance was.
But indeed, it’s silly when people get genuinely mad at an actor taking up a role.
I know it's practically cliche to mention by now, but seriously, look at The Joker.
Several iconic performances have been given over the years.
Sure, someone else couldn't play the exact same version, but different portrayals can still be spectacular.
No other poster could have posted this.
Actors aren't getting younger.
However, I would prefer the new cast of a series to look very alike the old cast, so one could better picture the role as a person, instead of like James Bond as an abstract British concept of recklessness in a tuxedo.
No other actor can play Superman because David Corenswet already has already been picked for the role
And other actors have played Superman and other actors likely will play him in the future
yes, but Mr. Corenswet is currently contracted to play Superman in the next couple of DC movies he'll be in
