Yes, i'm sick of sequels, prequels, spin-offs, reboots, remakes and adaptions No, i'm fine with (good) well-known franchises, the originals suck now Neither, Movies suck nowadays, the originals are unoriginal, whiling the unoriginals are lazy It depends on how good or bad is the movie, no expections View Results i had been reading a few comments whining about the majority of the modern movies being unoriginal, do you agree or disagree? --- FC: 4554-0551-0272, IGN: TheHungryBox <cite>quintonshark163 posted [p:896839281] in So you thi...

r4X0r 02/26/18 11:32:41 PM #3:	Obviously they only care about money, that's what ANY industry is. As far as running out of ideas, well yeah, obviously. I'm trying to remember the last time I actually went out to the movies and I'm realizing it was Don Jon, which was a 2013 release. I'm just not seeing anything coming out of Hollywood right now that's worth my money. --- I faced it all and I stood tall- And did it my way. <cite>r4X0r posted [p:896839901] in So you thi...

Unsugarized_Foo 02/26/18 11:34:44 PM #4:	I like the Marvel Universe and what it brings to the table with using the same characters and having a huge timeline to do things However I do not like it with Starwars. Ive enjoyed exploring the Starwars universe vastly more with the games Now that I think of it, I only like the MU reusing and making sequels for now. But maybe we should embrace the crap. One day there will be not enough time in a life span to enjoy all the movies or TV shows you'd like... --- "All I have is my balls and my word, and I don't break them for anyone!"-Tony Montana <cite>Unsugarized_Foo posted [p:896840011] in So you thi...

KILBOTz 02/27/18 11:02:33 AM #15:	It's not that they have ran out of original ideas, the issue is that original ideas are risky when they have a formula that pretty consistently prints money, why chase risk?
