I disagree. A reboot for me means a rehash of the story made in a different way - different director, actors, script, staff etc. so it can't be the same. It all really depends on who gets to make the movie. Of course I always wish for movies to be at least as good if not better than the existing series but that isn't the case. As you have pointed out Robocop, Spiderman and Ninja Turtles were all disappointing. Recent Godzilla was great in my opinion.

I would imagine they cost about the same and I think two very different stories could probably take very different means to tell and therefore the cost would be very different. So, it's not a very good way to compare.

The most expensive thing in ents is creativity, because of the dearth of it. If you want a new story in Hollywood, you have to pay for it, a lot, and usually several times (because the mentioned dearth of creativity does not map to a dearth of people who claim to be creative), whereas a remake, you can pretty much do yourself without hiring any writers -- a few silly tweaks, and it looks creative, even though it's really not.

Looks ok. I liked the two other FF movies, so I'm definitely going to see this one.
The only thing that irritates the sh*t out me every time they decide to "re-heat" a superhero is that we have to see FOR THE ELEVENTY-SEVENTH time how Peter Parker became Spiderman and how Bruce Wayne became Batman etc. Why can't they just move on, assuming that we have already seen one of the zillion movies about that before?

I thought that - then looked at the code I was working on and realised that if some of the developers had chosen the path of architect instead, those would have been but the tip of an iceberg!

If you need a special gift.[^]
I know an elephant or two who already produce enough of that stuff.

Now that's a gift that I would like to send to a few people just to let them know I'm thinking of them.

I already have enough. Thanks for thinking of me.

[edit]
They're also making clothes out of it...dungarees, pretty fashionable from what i hear.

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Because sometimes you need to slip away

That's a touchy subject. I feel you haven't given it enough tactile consideration.

You started to go down a slippery slop here so should be careful not to get bogged down there.

I'm pretty certain women do not need men to enjoy lingerie.
I'd rather be phishing!
