In this particular version- General Zod is the bad guy, and the Black Panther guy loves books:

I'm reminded of Netflix's new version of Lost in Space, where Judy Robinson and Dr. Smith look a little different:

And let's not forget the new Doctor Who and the Master:

HBO can suck it.

I am with you: Micheal Shannon is a hate America piece of filth. Told old people its time for the urn if they voted for Trump.

I was assigned to read Fahrenheit 451 back in junior high.
I’m usually not very interested in science fiction stories.
I kept falling asleep and never did finish it cover to cover.
At last resort, I just turned to the final chapters and prolouge to see what happened.

Billy Mummy was in Lost In Space, and did a few Twilight Zones. He was one of those very popular child actors who never found a niche as an adult actor. I think he’s still involved in various charity works.

When I was a kid, I loved Farenheit 451 and "A Wrinkle in Time."

A Wrinkle in Time looks a little different now too:

Then there is the new look for Captain America in Infinity Wars- he wears black now, and has a handguard.

Captain Marvel is now a woman so does that mean Ms. Marvel is a male-to-female preop transexual???

I can’t see his face without thinking of his horrible character in Boardwalk Empire, masturbating and bloodying himself with a whip.

Throughout the 90s studios tried to ditch superhero costumes for black leather.

I will know that the Culture is changing for the better when Captain America gets his red-white-and blue costume back.

I never thought the premise of the book even made sense. I also never thought Michael B. Jordan could act to save his life.

In the new Fahrenheit 451 trailer, they mention destroying the Internet of old, so I suppose that makes it timely. In just a few months, China is going to finish "The Great Firewall," where it is going to wall itself off from the world internet. In order to have access, foreigners will have to lease a line in or out, which will of course be controlled. The Chinese have ways to circumvent this for now, they call it, "Climbing the Wall."

Read/have the book, saw/own the DVD of the original movie and after watch this trailer, I shan’t be watching this excreble POS thing! That “actor” is worthless ( he can’t act his way of of a wet paper bag and hams it up something awful! ) and lousy script are extremely off putting !

Not watching any more unoriginal rehashes.

And no, changing the gender of characters is not brilliant twists. Its moronic and overdone and they only change male characters to female. Blatantly social justice sending a message.

I turn my back on it all.
