Bad therapy advice? From a man who hasn't been a doctor since the early 2000's and is ridden with scandals? That dog don't hunt!
The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread
- Thread starter Rowdy Roddy McDowall
- Start date
Very surface level. It was not considered empirically sound, largely because it was very drive through style and did not take steps to establish a relationship and was largely entertainment drive.
Looked him up on wikipedia.
why do people listen to grifters?
A real life version of Mr. Mackey from South Park.
He was on tv and Oprah liked him and people like and trust Oprah.
Oprah definitely has a huge following and lots of people like that.
Third. There’s already one with Adam Sandler and another one with Vinnie Jones. But it’s called The Mean Machine (which is what the Burt Reynolds one was called across the pond). (I’m guessing that you’ve heard of the Sandler one and not this one)

I seem to remember a fairly definitive end to his character in the series...
“All will be explained” according to writer Steven DeKnight, replying to excited-but-confused fans on twitter.
Wow, it seems late to try to capitalize on that.
Agreed. A decade after it ended, longer since the new main character was
stabbed and decapitated
Like, a prequel again? With the actor CGI de aged? Or a mystery son who looks exactly like his dad 40 years later during the fall of the Roman Republic? Or magic? Or
somehow he survived decapitation?
I dunno, the whole thing seems like a stretch. I remember chatter about a spin off back when it ended centered around Caeser but even that petered out so long ago....
Ina semi-related note, didn't DeKnight recently give Disney shit for naming new seasons of shows different names as it affected residuals when Spartacus was one of the series' to popularize it?
It’s just a flesh wound!
Netflix is going to be developing an animated 'Terminator' series.
Please tell me that's a joke.
Nope. Eight episodes with no premiere date as of yet.
I mean, it really wasn't reasonable to believe the Terminator IP would lie dormant for long, even with all the box office failures. So, going with a streaming series, especially an animated one, might be the best way to move forward with the franchise, as it forces them to do something different instead of constantly trying to build a reboot around old man Arnold. Let's not forget that the best non-Cameron installment of the Terminator franchise is arguably The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a TV show with no access to Arnold, and therefore forced to do something different.
