"I'll see you during the recess."

The prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia, combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead!

I am the Dragon. You are privy to a great becoming, but you recognize nothing. To me, you are a slug in the sun. You are an ant in the afterbirth. It is your nature to do one thing correctly: before me, you rightly tremble. But fear is not what you owe me. You owe me awe!

I didn't worry about Project Pegasus too much once I looked it up on wiki. She said "SHIELD has been keeping secrets like New Mexico, Project Pegasus, and Project Centipede" (they explicitly don't know what Centipede is). New Mexico I assume to be the events of Thor 1, first contact with Asgard (and the Destroyer's…

The premiere was as good as a movie, but the dialogue and setup was hitting me so fast and so condensed that at times I got overwhelmed - not in a bad way, and I understand they need to get all of this into the first episode.

I enjoyed how he was actually relatively polite (relatively) and helpful, on account of the fact that he actually doesn't really like Satan - Death is an elemental force equal to Life (to the point he says he's God's brother in a sense, and neither of the two can remember which one is older anymore, or if they came…

This still counts as an adaptation of alternate source material, not a simple remake of a movie.

I was confused: I thought it silly that the Price version had only his head and arm get swapped with the Fly's, instead of a gradual mutation into a hybrid - actually, on closer inspection, that's what happened in the original short story. Good that the Cronenberg movie went with the somewhat more realistic route…

This movie was just *visceral*, when the young father has to face off against the mutants, turns just as savage like a papa wolf to protect the baby - and they really made you hate the disgusting mutants - I was *cheering* when he drove his axe into them. I wonder on a deeper level if that's part of internal bias…

BSG started out well, but it was never trying to be the original series (for good or ill). I think it would have succeeded better as "Untitled Dark Political Scifi Show", than have all of the baggage of past 1970's BSG.

Reboots are new Adaptations, new Adaptation continuities. No, a reboot of a comic book franchise movie - "Batman Begins" etc. - is not a "Remake" of an earlier film vaguely set in the same Batman mythos.

Not better than the original, but a good movie on its own terms.

The discussion is movie remakes, not TV.

I didn't know there were earlier adaptations.

The Thing isn't a remake, it's an adaptation.

I agree and I hope Charlie Jane addresses this when we get the results: Carpenter didn't produce a "remake", he made a new adaptation of a scifi novella. Alternate adaptations of books shouldn't count as straight-up "remakes".

I liked this movie.

It's enough of a sequel that it shouldn't.

Well, that's another interesting question = is a film a "remake" if it is expanding a short film? 12 Monkeys was clearly an expansion of Le Jetee. In another post I argue that novel/theater/comic book adaptations cannot be considered "remakes" of earlier adaptations. But 12 Monkeys was based on a short film...
