    Nothng Hollywood produces these days seems to appeal to me. First time since "Star Trek: Nemesis" that I've ignored a new release Star Trek movie but the trailers for "Star Trek Beyond" just looked stupid (aside from the one scene with Bones as Spock transports out of danger). I did a marathon of "Blazing Saddles", "Willy Wonka", and "Young Frankenstein" in tribute to the late Gene Wilder, am now watching some classic movies from bygone decades: "Hour of the Gun" and "36 Hours".

    I understand remaking movies that were poorly done. I really don't understand Hollywood's fascination with remaking classics that were absolutely perfect as it stands. What're they going to do, make Chris and Vin homosexuals? Britt or Bernardo transgender?

    It's to play to the the millenials. They don't watch the originals.

    It is a proven money maker. People like things with which they're familiar. It's nothing more than that. It's the same reason that Pele complain that pop songs all sound similar. They actually do because there is a known formula for creating music that will become popular and sell lots of records. Same thing with story telling, switch up the characters, update settings and time lines, instant success.

    It has little to do with millennials, it just seems like it because your memory is longer now than it was when you were a kid. Every year when I go hunting with my uncle, we spend all of our down time watching old westerns. He tells me who all the actors are, which other movies they were in, when they died, why new westerns aren't as good, etc. Even those old westerns all follow a similar story line. Bad guys show up in otherwise quiet town. Towns folk are upset but don't have the guts to take on bad guys themselves. Good guys step up to clean up the town, but they're out numbered! Also, there is one random lady with a huge rack. It's a theme that works, so is often repeated. It's just about money.

    Sometimes the fight is over gold, sometimes a girl, one time it was over a barge, and another it was over guns stolen from the military.

    Oh yeah, season two of Narcos is out. Wish I spoke Spanish so I wouldn't have to have the subtitles on.
