Why must Hollywood ruin everything?

Last week, I'm wasting time on IMDB and discovered they are making a sequel to The Untouchables. Fucking unbelievable. Then today, I see this headline from The Hollywood Reporter (yep, I spend so much time on the internet each day THR is now an almost daily destination):

"New Tron races on"

That's right folks, someone at Disney thought we needed to deface the cult classic Tron, ignoring the fact that the original was a slice of movie-making brilliance, the first major studio release to use computer-generated images extensively. The movie will be directed by Joseph Kosinksi, who apparently is good at directing commercials (however, I see he is also doing the Logan's Run remake, so I guess the whole notion of "fresh" ideas is foreign to him him). The dude who wrote and directed the original, Steven Lisberger, apparently needs a paycheck badly and will sell out as one of the sequel's producers.

According to the article, plot details/storylines are being kept secret for the (completely unnecessary) sequel, and in fact, the lazy S.O.B.s at Disney intend to call the sequel the same exact name as the original. Give me a break people. From what I can tell, the only thing Tron fans can look forward to is this:

"When making the original, in order to convince the studio to take a chance on a first-time director, Lisberger shot a test reel, financed by the studio, involving the deadly Frisbee battle. In a case of historical synchronicity, sources said one of the things Kosinski will be doing is working on a sequence involving the movie's Light Cycles to work out his vision for the movie."

Of course, G:TB, through various devious methods, has obtained some of this new Light Cycle footage (come on, I know some of you saw this coming after the opening sentence):
