Better to find a reviewer who's tastes match your own, and that you trust.

I made website based on exactly that idea once;

Didn't get anywhere unfortunately. (never got more then a dozen users, and now the OpenId logins have broke due to API changes)

Remove star wars from TFA and nothing would be left :P Anyway, I would point out that even with a existing IP things reboots can have nearly no impact. (Robocop,Total Recall). You get free advertising with a existing IP, but I dont think it even makes success more likely. We need more balanced casti...

Fair point. == TV Shows; Twin Peaks (very late sequal) Prison Break (slightly late sequal) Lethal Weapon (reboot) The Exorcist (reboot....I think) MacGyver (reboot) Training Day (not sure) Lethal Weapon (not sure, reboot I assume). Taken (reboot) Most of these are films to tv, which makes them adapt...

For reference Coming Soon: BFG (remake) Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (late sequal to series) Pete's Dragon (remake) The Magnificent Seven (remake) Beauty and the Beast (remake) Power Rangers (reboot) Ghost in the Shell (remake) Baywatch (reboot) (I am not 100% sure with which are remakes/reboots -...

This videos are actually superior to most travel shows I have seen. They just seem to have a good instinct as to what to cover/film.

So "Jurassic Park:The Lost World" is a remake of Sir Arthur Conan Doyles "Lost World"?

Yes. Minority Report wasn't great for more or less that reason. They didn't do that every time, but it was common enough. Its strengths were far more in its depiction of the future and ongoing plot. The little details to the world were nice. Arguably it was too conservative in its future tech at tim...

TV seems more onball to me recently. Theres a lot of late sequals. Not always that great. But "Minority Report" I gave a shot at because it was a squeal series. I dont think I would have wanted just a retelling. "Limitless" was also a squeal series, and that was utterly brilliant...

Star Trek was a semi-reboot. Actually, most of these are reboots. Remake is really when your (literally) taking the same plot, but updating it in other ways. Reboot by comparison can be a different plot, even if the setup/characters/premise is mostly the same. Critically a reboot is a different cont...

Ah, ok, I misunderstood the Star Wars statement then. ...we are aware that the "original" Ghostbusters film was itself a remake of a television show, right? Whether a film is a remake or not isn't germane. Whether or not it's good is. Yes. ish. I would say though a remake can be pointless ...

I feel it should get to the point where film goets should vote with their wallets and say enough is enough. But I know that it won't happen. I wish it would. After a movie you should get to push a button on your seat. Say, enjoyment out of 5. That enjoyment is then on display next to each films nam...

I dunno, I think its infinitely more common for people to decry the star wars prequels as the "the worst thing ever" then it is to come across people defending them. People seemed to quickly make up their mind, and then go progressively more extreme as time goes on. As for financial succes...

A few thoughts on what is horrible problem and a messy thing; * I think America has built up a "them and us" situation with the police. They are seen as separate. Not there to help - there to control. There's advice never to speak to them. I have seen big articles telling you to "say ...

www.comicbookresources.com has a positive review of it, but havnt read it myself. Incidentally, Kung Fu Panda 3 is by far the best looking of the series. Lots of great artistic lighting effects - not just in flashbacks. Story so-so. But certainly nice to see them moving away from the typical renderi...

Also inaccurate; The money could have been spent elsewhere. My 2 cents: I think the decision to have a female main cast is a good idea. In theory, it could give some much needed exposure to underrated girl comedians. But, unless the film gets really good reviews, I'm staying far away from this unfun...

Indeed, GhostBusters3 was in the works for a _long_ time, with basically that scenario.
I think as far back as 2008 there was "starts filming next year!" style news that kept amounting to nothing.

Not unless it gets good reviews. Two things I thought were bad sign; 1) Its a reboot. Specifically the director said it was a reboot because he didnt want the world in general to know about ghosts - he said it was hard if there was already a world changing event. To me that demonstrates a _staggerin...

Possible. On the other hand, its still a risk. The guy basically trades on confidence people have on him. He persuades people to invest based on his reputation. Losing wouldn't be so bad, but if its revealed he doesn't have the billions he claims too, it could damage his brand considerably, given th...

Quite a lot of depressing news in the world.
But not all of it.

Of particular note is the reasoning given too.

He could say "really? You were all going to vote for me? Your all freaking idiots" and do a mike drop. He could do that right now if he wanted, and probably go down in the history books as being more significant in influence then most presidents. Hell, he has already basically destroyed th...

I guess so...but its just....not normal?
I mean Trumps pretty abnormal anyway...but this seems really weird.
Did he not think anyone would notice?
I cant place my finger on it. It just doesn't seem...human..behavior.

Bump. Trump. Bump Trump! *cough* Apparently Trump is making up praise of himself and pretending its coming from other twitter users. http://www.cracked.com/blog/trump-havin ... -accounts/ Seriously. Its like if I did; "Hay, Darkflame you are so onpoint! DarkflameForever!" @mrfaketwitter Th...

The Coins should have notches that allow interlocking into structures.
Not LRR related really. I just always wanted a currency that did that.

You probably all know theres a big petition to invalidate the referendum. 3million signatures and counting. Its unlikely to amount to anything, as you cant really retroactively change the rules even if they were poor to start with. Anyway....apparently the petition was started by a pro-leave person ...
