They won't stop making them until people stop watching them.

Been years since i’ve set foot in a physical theater.
I dont watch tv show reboots. I didnt watch most of the awful shows they are now trying to ressurect, the first time they were on tv.

I made this comment in another thread that they cannot do anything but reboots because they are not creative people running the industry but political hack propagandists so can only use pre-existing vehicles to mold for their propaganda.

Haven’t been to a movie joint in 25 years, and don’t foresee that streak ending before I do.

Television is an ever-widening maw which requires more and more to feed it, 24 x 7. Thus after originality has been drained, there's no other path than to return and try to recycle already proven material. Secondly, the name recognition alone will draw in viewers for at least a couple episodes, out of curiosity if nothing else.

The hopeful thing is that if you look hard enough you can find some decent shows. Some new, some not in production anymore. But it requires digging.

Most of the good stuff is made from outside Hollywood.
KDramas are an example.

Last night, we saw the 80s Christmas classic Die Hard in the theater.
There were 5 total people there.
My wife had never seen it.

There were so many jump cuts in the Robin Hood commercial that I caught epilepsy from it.

I hope my library buys the “Trust” series (based on J. Paul Getty family events). That one sounds interesting.

The new Robin Hood looks pathetic. I just hope this one doesn't have any insipid Bryan Adams songs on the soundtrack.

Last night, we saw the 80s Christmas classic Die Hard in the theater.Dang. I would love to watch it on the big screen again. It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from the Nakatomi Plaza building.
