Not another remake  I swear, I'd love to see an original idea come from Hollywierd; it's been too long. I'll even pay to go see it. Doesn't matter if it sucks. I'd pay to see something original. |

Kinda funny to me how many people over say about 25 or so don't even bother going to the movies anymore. They either steal/watch it on the interewebs or just watch classic movies on Netflix. Been a few years since I went to a movie theater (it had been a while when the Aurora theater shooting happened, and several theaters put up 'no guns' signs, so I went from wondering when I was going to be interested enough to go to a theater again, to saying "fuck it, I'm done with theaters"). Once in a while, I'll buy a DVD, but the purchases of movies that are 20+ years old, easily outnumber the purchases of recent releases. I watch more subtitled Japanese TV shows, than the crap they are putting on the TV in the US. The industry has gone to complete shit. |

Lol, they had to make the rocketeer a black woman. Sounds like another Ghostbusters, that will make even less money, because no one really gives a flying shit about The Rocketeer. 
I'll continue to not watch this, just like the upcoming "The Mummy" remake.  WTF is wrong with the first (?) The Mummy? I stop and watch it almost ever time I see that its on. |

Big fan of the Dave Stevens comics and Bettie Page inspired 'Betty'. The 1991 movie was fun and captured a lot of the feel of the comic. That said...
I hope these social justice reboots fail, and fail hard. Bleed the mouse, or the stake holders. Only way to hurt them that's CoC compliant. |

Ah, I remember that movie. I was very young when it came out. Something about his gas tank leaking and he used bubblegum to seal it, and him flying through some laundry hanging in someone's yard. Another unwanted, unnecessary remake that they had to replace a white male with a Diversity. This will probably get panned harder than Ghostbusters. Here's hoping.
it won't be that bad no matter how much it sucks...because the original Rocketeer is not nearly so loved by fans as ghostbusters was/is. Personally, I loved the Rocketeer. I thought it was a fun movie. Movie gave me flashbacks of Rocket Ranger. You know who has balls? The guy who has a nazi mad scientist's electrodes attached to him, and Gestapo interrogator grilling him, and he answers a question with "Hitler eats babies!" |

I don't think the Rocketeer's whitey-ness was relevant to the plot. But why not come up with a *new* story that revolves around a minority character? The other issue is that when a character is changed like this based on SJW concerns, it's very typical that making a good movie becomes *secondary* to whatever social justice goals they hope to achieve. The new Ghostbusters is only the most recent example of this. |
