You know? This sounds about right, actually.

Maybe we’ll finally get the Clock Tower movie that’s been in development hell since the 2000's? (You know, the one they made those really swank teaser posters for that one time)

I think you hit the nail right on the head. It’s apathy. People just don’t care in general, and considering how much of a snake eating its own tail most IP has turned to, can you blame them?

Luckily, a lot of us commentators will look at the pending comments, and when they’re thoughtful and in good-faith like yours? That comment’ll likely get ungreyed.

Does that time when they released First Cow, then Pig, then Lamb within a year of each other count?

While we’re asking the important questions...

Thank you! Let’s spread the word. This needs to be manifested into the universe before it’s too late.

Ohhhhhhhhhh! (Slaps forehead)

I think the Republican Kool-Aid has just as much to do with the aging process, tbh.

Yep. We’re soon reaching the age where we can’t blame the boomers anymore, because we’ll be the ones running the show (and still screwing things up).

Man, I wish someone would take another crack at the Dresden Files and cast Tom Ellis as Harry Dresden.

it is incredibly on brand for boomers broadly and the gop specifically

Well, I feel like a dum dumb. What am I missing?

Underrated film, I tell ya.

The sad thing I’m learning lately when it comes to any part of pop culture that existed before the rise of our post-Web 2.0 culture, is that if it was either (A) popular amongst the adult (re: non-web-using) crowd, or (b) something that was mildly popular at the time, but not popular enough to generate sequels and/or…

100% agree. If anything, Rick and Evie’s banter in Returns is even better because there’s no worry about whether those are going to spontaneously stop being a couple. (Poor Mario Bello. Homegirl is an amazing actress, but she got a bum deal replacing Rachel Weisz in the third movie. The chemistry just wasn’t the same)

I absolutely agree. It’s really tiresome how often screenwriters don’t know how to make a stable relationship be interesting, so they just resort to pushing the “break up/get back together” button. It’s as lazy as it is everywhere.

Just because one iconic character is, himself, an imitator, doesn’t mean that he can’t be successful enough to spawn even more imitators (who may or may not even know the original crop exists).
