It depends on what they are doing. If someone decided to make a movie about D-Day but with an all women army storming the beaches at Normandy, I think we'd all agree it was a gimmick.

9 to 5 wasn't a gimmick because it was about secretaries with a sexist boss. Bridesmaids wasn't a gimmick because it was about bridesmaids who are by definition the bride's female friends. Seek out movies about a group of women who are all gunfighters or fighter pilots and I'm sorry but that is a gimmick because…

"(No one calls every version of Hamlet or The Great Gatsby a remake.)"

No, their claims that they aren't making them simply to take advantage of the name recognition such as "Godzilla", "Miami Vice", "Robocop" and all the others. They know there wasn't anything wrong with the originals and they also know they have nothing to add to them. They know they aren't going to make a movie…

Your question shows the hollowness of all the remake and reboot claims. No matter what they say, they are doing films that have audience recognition and, hopefully, good will. They could remake an earlier failure and do it right, but they won't risk it.

Show business is incredible. “It’s inevitable.” I mean I don’t want to make this movie, but what can I, just one person, do to not make this movie? “It will have nothing to do with the first movies.” Just the name and premise. “It will not be a gimmick to star all women.” Then why does it have to be all women?…

Ask Jackson that very question and I'm sure she'll tell you what the Bible says about it.

I once read something (supposedly by a Hollywood insider) stating that the movie industry is basically a giant scam. The movies don't make any money but everyone involved, writers, actors, make-up and special effects people all get paid. It's kind of a non-profit thing.

Maybe in the reboot they could explain how they instantly figured out they were on another planet of giant humans who spoke English, rather than at least considering that they had shrunk.

And what a brilliant plan. "Let's send six people, four of them related, to start a new world."

Many years ago, so many that I don't remember the title, I read a sci-fi story about the discovery that the Earth, the moon and all the other planets were giant eggs about to hatch giant space birds. Maybe someone remembers the title.

I don't think that, in context it was about abortion (unless the baby was the one from "It's Alive!"). It was more like the morality of killing creatures because they are inconvenient or potentially harmful. Do you shoot wolves because they might eat your sheep. Do you shoot bears that wander into human…

I think he was being sarcastic

I suppose you are right. And I like Amy. But if something would shock her out of this awful relationship where she has nothing to look forward to but becoming Sheldon, it might be worth it.

I was so sure that the reveal would be an incredible laser sighted pitching machine.

I'm surprised that Penny and/or Leonard (but especially Penny) didn't strike back at dinner by reminding them (and especially Amy) "Well, we're not the ones who are going to die as virgins."

What about Adam and Eve?

What about "House of Yes"? Jackie O and her brother.

In the words of Queen Victoria "We are not bemused."

So is selling crack. Doesn't make it praiseworthy
