How "Remake" Became a Dirty Word...

#1 Post by AndyDursin »

One of my greatest pet peeves in modern cinema is the constant, PR-laden use of the term "Reboot" when the majority of the time it's used, what we're talking about is just a glorified remake. (Or a "re-quel," which is what THE FORCE AWAKENS was).

That term is examined in this strong Guardian editorial, which hits the nail on the head on everything that was wrong with this summer's crap-tastic fare.
