This doesn’t seem like a reboot, and seems more a sequel or belated new season. The recipe for MST3K is rather timeless imo, it didn’t have to go away in the first place and there’s no reason why they can’t pick it up again.

How is this fanservice? And also, I mean, wouldn’t fanservice be to bring back the original actors because that’s what fans want?

But at least the Ghostbusters reboot isn’t out-and-out saying that they don’t see any need to make any changes. :)

Yeah, but the new Ghostbusters movie isnt’ a straight remake. At least, not as far as I can tell. It’ll be telling a different story, using a similar conceit. I’m okay with that.

“The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us. And our lives slip away, moment by moment, lost in that vast, terrible in between.”

I thought it was deliberate, they look kind of spooky don’t they?

Burroughs and Throbbing Gristle. Good influences.

It’s fine to be curious, it’s like touching an extinct animal!

Just reach out and grab their weird fascinating caveman hair! No need to ask.

How about instead of Ant-Man 2, they just go ahead and make The Wasp? Ant-Man can still show up as a supporting character if they want.
