I never thought this would be the plaice for such puns
The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread
- Thread starter Rowdy Roddy McDowall
- Start date
i dont see the porpoise of this thread anymore
That being said, I think two pages of water-related puns are quite enough. Let's stick to the topic matter at hand. The Lounges are right there (*points downward on the forum list*) for game threads.
Once the writer and actors strikes stop so we can have opportunity to actually hear (and thus be able to talk) about an unnecessary reboot , this will be water under the bridge
Once the strike is over, I'm pitching Young Oppenheimer to Fox as a weekly series where J. Robert Oppenheimer navigates being a teenager in high school. His classmates will include Walt Disney, George Orwell, Howard Hughes, Charles Lindbergh and Joan Crawford. Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla and Edgar Allen Poe will be among the faculty.
And they'll all be incredibly sexy and have copious sex and every week a band whose record label is owned by the networks production company will guest star at the club
Make it a procedural and call it Coppenheimer
Coppenheimer busts into a gang's lair and declares "I am become death" just before he goes crazy and takes on the entire gang on his own.
Well, won't that be explosive!
I seem to have missed previous news about this; the story seems to give the impression that the movie has already been made. Bill Skaarsgard will get to recycle his white face paint from It as The Crow https://deadline.com/2023/09/crow-r...ka-twigs-sells-lionsgate-deal-1235539115/amp/
George A Romero's final script "Twilight of the Dead" has found its director, Brad Anderson, of the movie "Session 9".
Just let the franchise die already.

Murder, She Wrote movie version on the way: The film has been written by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, whose previous credits include the Seth Rogen/Paul Dano fact-based Dumb Money,
Sounds like another stupid spoof film of something people unironically enjoyed back in the day.

Agreed. Romero's increasingly soapboxed Dead films all played like a person who read the overblown studies about the original film's intent (which was not deliberately sociopolitical as Romero once admitted before he just ran with journalists' interpretations in the decades to follow). Romero took a gruesome, bleak concept and turned it into whine-a-thons that happened to have zombies in the background. That, and if there's one thing about most Romero Dead films that I found grating was the utter stupidity of the living to fight off or kill zombies. Land of the Dead was especially eye roll-inducing in that way, with humans constantly thwarted by stiff creatures who were once easily distracted by fireworks displays...until they were not, conveniently enough.
You are not kidding. If a zombie outbreak happened in the real world, that sniveling cameraman would be hit over the head with his camera--left to be dinner for a zombie horde. He was directly responsible for several deaths, and yet his ex-girlfriend somehow--at the end--believed in his idiotic mission, despite making logical arguments against it earlier in the film.
So, I've never heard of "Puck News" but Rotten Tomatoes, Forbes, and others are sharing it so I suppose it must be a semi legitimate site. Still, grain of salt the size of a small mountain.
A reboot of The Office is in the works, with Greg Daniels returning.

Ugh. The "original" American version ran about two and half seasons too long as it was.
