Stop fucking rebooting everting and come up with new IP. This lazy bullshit has got to stop.

Anybody else expecting them to fsck it up?

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yes, most definitely. Though, they did a pretty good job the first time around, up until the 4th one.

Also, you can say fuck on the internet. Nobody cares

Maybe it was autocorrect, and they’re a Linux user: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fsck

Fscking shut

The 4th one was the second best, in my opinion. I haven't seen 5 though, but from what I can tell it wasn't very well-received.

They should have made every movie standalone, 2 and 3 had too many moments where I felt they were just dragging things out to justify a cliffhanger and a sequel.

I'm starting to think the point of most of these reboots is to fuck up the memory of the original

You can't really find the original "Old Boy" anymore. You have to watch the American remake that misses the point of most of it

They should make a new theme park ride based off of the films and then make films based off the new theme park ride.

Otherwise this is just a lazy cash grab and not a real reboot!

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Then make a documentary and call it:

"The Making of the Movie Based on the Ride Based on the Movie Based on the Ride."

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

And then write a book about making the movie about making the movie. Truly the dream is endless.

So wait you canned him for something that was later cleared, then wanted him to come back to you and be quick about it??

Mazin told the Los Angeles Times last year the script for “Pirates of the Caribbean 6″ is so weird he is surprised Disney signed off on it, adding: “We pitched it and thought there’s no way they’re buying it, it’s too weird. And they did! And then [we] wrote a fantastic script and the strike happened and everyone’s waiting around.”

man, if these guys thought their script was too weird, i honestly am looking forward to see what that means.. i love how weird the good Pirates films are.. and if there's going to be another, i'd want it to push that limit of weirdness.. they sort of have to keep topping themselves..
