The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[oktay]

I’m hoping that it’s just how your translator has worded it but talking about “old nerds” could mean offend people. “Fans”, even “geeks” would be less contentious. It might be that the words look fine to someone whose first language isn’t English, but down there in black and white, it looks a bit insulting.

I understand.

What's wrong with "old nerds?" Lots of us are nerds and most of us are old. Trekbbs has more achy knees than a Florida Retirement Community.

I'm not old. I'm "seasoned".

Can confirm, I've been here for half a year and have encountered a grand total of one person my age. Reasonably sure I'm the youngest one here. :P

Anyway, I hear they're making a remake of Rurouni Kenshin. I haven't watched much of the original so I can't speak on behalf of whether or not this was unnecessary, but my dad says it's mediocre. We're watching the original first and then maybe we'll see about giving the remake a try.
(Sorry for double post!)
Edit: WTF did I mean by "as per the title"?? I was tired as hell yesterday, probably worth it to disregard anything I said then. Lmao

[old man] In my Day, we had to REWIND our entertainment, and if we didn't, hoo boy, would we ever be glowered at! [/old man] *yells at clouds*

 

[Jayson1]

Not saying we are super old. Just saying that back in the 80's half of our members wondered how such a young whippersnapper like Reagan could get elected as President!

Thanks to public domain - 'Steamboat Willie vs Winnie the Pooh" coming soon to a streaming service near you.

 

[Jayson1]

They need to something unique. How about, Winnie the Pooh sings the greatest public domain musical hits!

Gavin O’Connor says he's already working on The Accountant 3. All dependent on if the second movie is a hit, of course.

Even if the second movie is not successful at the box office, it will be on Prime Video at the end of May, and I think it will be watched a lot there and there may be a reason for a third movie on Prime Video, if the directors and actors accept it of course.

The Accountant 3 will be about the accountant for the studio.

Coming soon, The Accountant: 401(Kill)

The ‘Legally Blonde’ Prequel Series Has Found Its Woods Family Matriarch

The upcoming Legally Blonde prequel series has cast June Diane Raphael as Elle’s mother. Here’s what we know.

Now that I think about it; they could make this TV series a soap opera drama where you don't know who's in whose pocket. In other words, this TV series could be the Legally Blonde version of soap opera dramas.

I'm in my sixties and don't mind being called an "old nerd" at all.

Now my brain is trying to work on a parody of the Bellamy Brothers' "Old Hippie".

Stephen King’s Cujo is to be filmed again. Perhaps the most surprising thing about this announcement is the lack of Mike Flanagan involvement! https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/stephen-king-cujo-remake-netflix-1236161363/

 

[Jayson1]

We need to see "The Accountant" face off with his old old rival 'The Insurance Adjuster." played by Matt Damon in the third movie.

Is the Flanagan wave receding?

Mind you, there’s no writer or director *yet* so he could end up being involved after all!
