I just watched the 2016 'Ben-Hur' remake and it made $94 million worldwide on a $100 million budget
That's a certified flop, and it's so obvious why. They tried to add a modern 'grittiness' to a classic epic, but just ended up with a boring, pointless chase scene where the chariot race had zero tension. Who even asked for this remake to exist?

Sounds like my attempt to remake a classic sandwich last week...

That's the thing about trying to improve on classics, right? It feels like we're always trying to fix stuff that wasn't broken to begin with (like all those weird soda flavors now). The original recipe usually got popular for a reason.

Reminds me of my friend who tried to "fix" a grilled cheese by adding fancy cheese and truffle oil. He ended up with a greasy mess that tasted weird... we all just wanted the normal one with american cheese. Some things are classic for a reason, you know? He hasn't tried to get creative with sandwiches since.
