Off Topic The Official:TV-Show-Movie-Games Thread

Will do so tonight

 

Jesus...just watched the first 10 minutes of 'Cunk on Britain'. A spoof documentary type, you appreciate how good Ali G was because this is ****ing awful.

 

And how good Alan Partridge is too

 

Never found Cunk funny at all

Partridge on the other hand ... can't wait for this

 

Anyone seen Dirty John on Netflix? Mrs luv wants to watch it and I'm unsure.

 

Let her watch it you sexist bastard

 

I should have been clear, letting her watch it by herself is what I'm edging towards.

 

Watched Life. ****ing hell! MASSIVE Alien rip-off, but I actually enjoyed it. Calvin got to Earth.....................................

 

This Das Boot series is actually pretty good, some of the feel of the original movie but with added storylines, could focus more on the sub and warfare though

 

Hmmm...

That was my thing. I don't know how you do a series about guys in a submarine but base it on land.

the original is all about tension and the pressure these guys were under in the conditions. Take that away and what is it?

I don't know whether to start it or not.

 

I wouldn't go near it with your ****ing bargepole. How dare they denigrate an absolute classic?

 

I thought the same when they remade Macgyver and magnum PI, Hawaii 50.... everything will be remade eventually.

Im sure breaking bad and the wire are due a remake as well... its nuts.

 

You're in proper piss-take mode. Come back when your mood has improved

 

I read an article discussing rebooting Harry Potter recently... Doesn't feel that long ago that the last films finished... And they still seem modern. Wait at least until the kids that saw it the first time are old enough to take their own kids to the reboot.

 

Cost me a ****ing fortune. **** the slag and her ****ing books / films / videos

 

**** me...

rebooting harry potter... like... its PERIOD. its quiddich and old english scholl etc etc.

what reboot is merited there????

 

I think it's an "if we film it, they will pay" mentality.

I'm sure they'll finish the disaster which is the "fantastic beasts" saga first... Hopefully they will take a break after that before they try to milk the cow some more.

 

My recall of these reboots.

Star trek movies (imo done poorly and disrespectfully)
Twin peaks (original was **** it was ****)
macgyver
magnum pi
hawaii 50
karate kid movie
ghostbusters movie
roots
battlestar galactica (started well then utterly fell apart)
nikita (one irememner, it wasn't big originally but reboot was ****e)
x files (rubbish)
Dr Who obviously
dallas
90210
uncle buck


bascially they've failed to improve on the originals every time... yes even the star trek ones which were full cgi compared to ****e in the past.

 

How much does the author need after her first billion?

I believe jackson is going back once again to the lord of the rings as well.

He basically ignored an entire section of the last book of the trilogy that he might well try fill in.

 

Star Trek movies reboot were awful, but that does bring to mind one reboot that WAS successful.

Star Trek next generation TV series was much better than the original series. Maybe it's a spin off rather than reboot technically... But it sets a good model.

Don't try to recast the original cast... Create new characters and set them in same world instead. When actors try to act like other actors who are trying to act like characters... It comes across rather poor... Like the new Star Trek movies.

They should have just done new characters for the new movies.
