Does anyone think that someone (in their right mind) might try to reboot The Pink Panther?

Or, is this not the right time?

Steve Martin tried that once.

Yes. Probably why nobody else has gone for it.

The Horror Hall of Fame was an annual Oscars-style award show hosted by Robert Englund which honored the best horror films, television series, actors, producers and special-effects designers.

There are some LEGENDS in that photo. That's awesome. Lucille Ball, Alfred HItchcock, George Burns, Telle Sevalis, Bob Newhart, Vincent Price, Carroll O'Connor, Carol Burnett, Sherman Hemsley...

Walter Cronkite, Ed Asner, Smothers Brothers, Glen Campbell, Danny Thomas, Bea Arthur, Andy Griffith, Ernest Borgnine, Mike Wallace, Betty White, Zha Zha Gabor, and tons of others.

That is an amazing picture.

to all the people clamoring for another exorcist trilogy

obviously ghostbusters needs a cinematic universe

it's funny to me, the first ghostbusters was more about 3 schlubby guys opening a business and getting that rolling. yes it involved ghosts and tech but meh, it was still strong writing/performances with elements of the supernatural. now it's this. i imagine there will be tons of scenes where they are using tech which was actually pretty small component in the original. they just said egon created this stuff (with little testing).

why are there no new ideas?!?! end rant.

Rant endorsed.

Jebus, it appears Jurassic Park is trying to get away from dinosaurs, judging by that last movie. I doubt I'll see the next one. Everything's becoming the Matrix 2 and 3. Punting fun for yards and yards of jibberish plot texture. Totally losing their way with this [expletive]. But with technology, indie filmmakers are able to do all sorts of cool stuff now. I'm just not tuned in like I used to sort of be to see the actual creative stuff. Anyway indie films aren't usually where to go for fun like a blockbuster--maybe they'll step up.

Vaguely related Space Jam: The Lebronening is not good, but fun with kids. The IP deluge is genuinely exhausting--kind of interesting to behold in its shamelessness.

Totally unrelated: The soundtrack for the MJ SJ was legendary. Not true here. The 90s were such a great time for soundtracks. I hit em high hit em high hit em high.

If we are going to develop a cinematic universe for an 80's movie, I think we should be looking into developing a world where the government is developing Short Circuit Johnny 5's to battle Gremlins that were created as a result of North Korean genetic experimentation.
