  1. It strikes me that whenever someone ASKS for a reboot (instead of complaining about how it means Hollywood has no fresh ideas, which is the usual reaction), it generally means, "I really like this movie or series, but I notice it has flaws. So let me add my own fanfic into it, and then it will be PERFECT."

    So, I wanted the Batman reboot, I didn't have a fan fiction idea, I just knew the franchise was ruined with terrible sequels.

  2. That... that's REALLY bad.

    But a bootmake just means you now have two Universal Soldier 1s as well as 3 Universal Soldier 2s. It doesn't actually fix the problem.

    Sure it does, you forget about the horrible leper of a franchise it was, and its something different. When someone brings up Batman now, they mean The Nolan series. The Keaton-Kilmer-Clooney series is not even in the back of our minds.

  3. That doesn't require a remake of all the previous movies. See: Superman Returns.

    You can just say "Yeah, those bad movies never happened. This is a sequel to the good parts."

    You mean like Universal Soldier for example:

    Universal Soldier - Awesome, though kinda in a 'bad 80's movie kind of way'

    Universal Soldier 2 - Made for TV crap

    Universal Soldier 3 - More Made for TV crap

    Universal Soldier the Return (the new Universal Soldier 2) - Bad and written by someone who didn't even watch the first one. Van Damme was back for this one and he was a former UniSol (which makes no sense of course)

    Universal Soldier Regeneration (the new NEW Universal Soldier 2) - Brought Dolph back, but was still pretty bad.

    Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (A semi-sequel to Regeneration, so UniSol 3 [sort of]) - This one was more like a zombie film, where zombies are military trained, was actually pretty good.

    I just wanted to point out that there is ONE Universal Soldier film of that name, but they have made a true sequel of that original movie THREE times... Thats right there are THREE Universal Soldier 2 films!!! It is so insane I can't stand it. There has NEVER been a franchise that has been this fuked up. EVER.

    This pretty much sums up the whole: 'Ignore one of the sequels' thing. A reboot is better than this nightmare.

  4. Um, yeah Duke. You....clearly....showed....me....up. Whatever.

    The thing that got to me about Avatar was its blatant theft of concepts from Lawrence of Arabia. But, if you gotta steal, steal from the best I guess.

    The subtle political subtexts in Interstellar must have had you guys running from the cinema screaming........

    No, I thought Interstellar was actually balanced. The liberal message of the Polpot style anti-technology and education in favor of providing for the people, was one message, contrasted with the conservative 'technology saves lives' conversation was interesting in a world where we are most certainly are living in a way that not sustainable. (this is a fact, not a political opinion) It was good.

  5. Hmmmm. So it's ok for colonial powers to trample/subjugate/destroy indigenous cultures then?

    All DT was saying was he doesn't appreciate political messaging in entertainment. Either way. If there was a film about how the mindless subhuman indigenous were shown the light by colonial steelers, and once falling in line, became real people instead of animals, DT would be equally irritated. I agree... I do not accept being preached to.
