Blasphemy!!!!

Ok, I need to be good and just remember that it's only a game. It's only a game. Still- is there nothing that won't get a remake/facelift these days?

Blasphemy!

Hasbro spokesman Craig Wilkins said: "We wanted to bring the game bang up to date. The new characters are more in tune with modern society, and with the added touch of a first name, more human."

THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT THEY'RE DETECTIVE STORY ARCHETYPES, YOU IDIOT.

"Hey, let's design a new game, with new fluff, but stamp an old popular brand on it and call it a 're-boot'!"

"Brilliant!!"

[synabetic.livejournal.com]

Nope.

I'm still waiting for the Matrix 2 and 3 remakes.




What.

[fear-the-cow.livejournal.com]

Actually the Matrix movies were a remake of TRON. I had a blog post once about it - but I can't find it.

What the hell- am i seriously one of the few people out there who actually thought the sequels were ok?

[synabetic.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I did too. I just thought it would be something funny to say.

And besides, since when did them being good or bad really matter?

Can't wait for that Escape From New York remake. :-|

I would love to read that.


I think I'm the only nerd alive who preferred Black Hole to Tron as a kid.

[winneganfake.livejournal.com]

Yep- only because Black Hole scared the absolute shit out of me as a kid.

[synabetic.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

Tron... well, I wasn't that impressed with Tron. Yeah, I said it.

Ok. Turn in your geek card, your DVDs, and your black t-shirt collection. You're officially dead to us now.

Hey, I didn't say I hated Tron. And I did learn to appreciate it more. I just like other things out there. I've never gotten all that excited about the damn thing. I think it's cool, yes. But not as cool as say, Secret of Nimh or Black Hole. Or Star Wars. Or Star Trek. Or Conan. Or Judge Dredd.

[winneganfake.livejournal.com]

Ok. Good. Better. Here's your stuff back. And our condolences about what the death squads may have done in the intervening time.

[trenchwench.livejournal.com]

I will not.
will not will not will not will not
will not play this
fucked up travesty of one of my favorite games.

[fear-the-cow.livejournal.com]

Nope. I actually made a board game out of The Black Hole for a 4th grade project. I also have the book. :)

I'll see if I can find the post.

Found it!
