I also meant to say...

I hope you are having fun at the beach. I wish we could go too and we will one day, we just lead relatively busy lives and we don't even have kids yet, lol.

In terms of The Evil Dead, it was not really a remake, somewhat of a re-imagined movie, kinda and not done by Sam Raimi who has held on to these tightly for quite a while. The reason it was done like that is because a sequel to the original with Bruce Campbell is supposed to be happening and done by Sam Raimi. The only real hold up is that Sam Raimi always has so much going on and he usually includes Bruce Campbell in much of what he is doing anyways.
