Do people like remakes and reboots here, or hate them ? — Page 3

So either Dench is playing at least two different M's or Bond is a codename for the 007 agents and Craig is a totally different human being playing out a professional biography to confuse anyone trying to identify him and previous agents.

 Or a third option.

The Bond films are an endless series of spy movies with no real continuity, but occasional nods to previous movies that aren't meant to mean much.

Why the metal gymnastics to try and fit films into logic and labels that they are plainly not made to fit?

To typo is human but that one is so cool it hurts.

I don't know that you can everything else a remake/reboot/reimagining of Batman, just because the movie serial came first.   I'm not sure that movie serials count.

Well that's kind of getting into subjectivity. I mean most people "count" Keaton as the first Batman in movie form but, that's completely false. Adam West was the first Batman in theatrical movie distrubution. Whoever was Batman in Batman Dracula was first in a small exhibition in a museum. So who gets credit for the first?

 Does being first really matter? If Andy Warhol's Batman/Dracula hypothetically had been first, would it matter, since no one saw it? Would it make Burton's "Batman" a remake?

If something is a 'remake' doesn't it require a familiarity with the original on the part of the creator?

If there's a newly discovered film of "Green Lantern" from the 70s, does that make the new Green Lantern suddenly a 'remake?'

 Sheesh, metal gymnastics WOULD hurt. :(

Geez, I guess I'm the only person on this forum with enough discerning taste to hate the new Star Trek movie. ^_~

Oh Gaffer, I am reminded why I love you so very much!

I like this CP3S guy.  He should post more!

I wish he would as well, and I wish certain people would leave him alone if he would continue to post.

^Think you are looking for the smoking thread. ;-)

I see what you guys are doing, and I am not going to fire up As The Death Star Turns again, no matter how much material you give me.

Oh, CP3S... always spreading the love.

Wait... should I feel jealous?  Should I be tested?

Yes, you should feel jealous. And no, we're clean. I'd never cheat on you, baby.
