    That is literally what a zipper merge is, and what you are supposed to do. Go to the end and merge. If they are “cramming” in, then the people in the lane are not doing their part either, because you are supposed to let people merge.

    When people properly zipper merge, traffic will keep flowing. Your complaint about reducing throughput is a “well of fucking course it will” because you’re putting more cars through the same space regardless of where they merge. People who slow down with hundreds of meters of space, then stop and wait for someone to let them in makes the problem worse, not better.

    Alien is an interesting case study.

    Dan O’Bannon wrote the screenplay for the movie Dark Star. It was not a great movie. He took his core concept, wrote a new version with less comedy and more horror and that became Alien.

    You’re right.

    I think a lot of people here are missing the point. It should not be, “I like this thing so remake it”, it should be “this thing had a great idea but the execution was awful so remake it”.

    Krill, absolutely. The original was fun but not good.

    Enemy Mine was a great movie and should be left untouched.

    The Last Starfighter is an interesting one. I don’t think it would benefit from a remake, but because the entire movie is split between the live action scenes and the cheese 80s CG scenes, you could easily replace the space battles with a new version and leave the rest alone.
