Back to the future!
Remakes. Reloads. Revivals. The past couple of years have seen the film industry relying on nostalgia to make some money. Just look at Superman or Bewitched or Starsky & Hutch and Miami Vice, all brought back from the dead. It’s not a matter of if a certain 15-20 year-old property is brought back from obscurity, it’s when. This coming year will see a few more things from my childhood. A live-action Transformers movie, a sequel to Robotech, a DVD release of Voltron, a computer-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. What’s next? What's left?The industry tends to go through cycles too so I’m curious if 10-20 years down the line it’ll go into remake mode again and bring back whatever's big with the younger set these days. Sponge Bob Squarepants? Power Rangers? Spider-Man?

thats why they need to only allow x amount of movies a year, so they dont have to put out so much shit. just saw clerks 2 though... wasnt going in with any expectations but i really liked it. the critics hated it of course but what do you expect they all have fun jobs haha. As for the trasformers and TMNT, i boycott it, as well as superman, batman, spiderman, and the xmen. We are living in an era of a bunch of fan boys. But hey at least i have Snakes of a Plane to look forward to(8/18/06).
THE deuce
cool, i'll give clerks 2 a look if it comes here. and you are correct about the fanboys, they've all grown up and gotten jobs in the industry. this is the fruit of their labor!
