I'm getting sick of retro and retread.
Not that I don't like some of the things that have been brought back - the new Mustang, 60's Brit Pop, hiphuggers, etc. but it's at the expense of any ideas.
I was looking at upcoming movies...
When A Stranger Calls, remake
Curious George, remake
The Hills Have Eyes, remake
Pink Panther, remake
The Shaggy Dog, remake
16 Blocks, not a remake, but it's "The Gauntlet" thinly remade
Firewall, remake of a British movie
Brokeback Mountain, completely original. Great.
TV is even worse....damn near everything is either a rip of reality "talent" shows, or remakes of british sitcoms.
You think back to the 80's, and you identify it by its culture, its styles, it's music and movies. Same for the 70's, same for the 60's. What are they going to say about now? What was the '00's all about? Reliving the past? Has all the good ideas already been done, or is everyone just lazy?
I don't know....but my diet coke is wearing off and I'm going to go to bed, which is ironically what I did yesterday.
