  • …I don’t have a problem with people remaking or rebooting things. I mean, everybody goes to Broadway to see the same couple plays every few years. It’s such a dumb, shallow argument to say Hollywood has no new ideas just because they’re rebooting things.

    He seems like a really chill dude, and I’m happy he keeps getting work. The bulk of the article was a good read, despite the title being a little click bait from one question.

    I understand the monetization of our member-berries can throttle the space where new ideas can have a better chance to come through, but IMO audiences [myself included] and the industry are equally to blame. If more and more crap reboots happen, hopefully this cannibalizing system will eventually crash and more original ideas will be attempted.

    If a movie is crap it’s crap whether or not it’s a reboot. It’s a weird hypocrisy in my head that I hate the latest Jurassic Park turds but really really hope this Alien movie is gonna be good.
