The Reboot thing is getting out of control.

I don't go for a reboot unless it's bona fide hot shit (rare). Never would mess with a TV reboot. In fact I pretty much don't watch anything but news and some sports on TV, period.

I will watch March Madness, but not until this weekend. The Olympics, I'll watch that.

I tend to not like Hollywood movies. If I do, it's indy type stuff, not Disney or major studio. I tend to like Dreamworks, Lionsgate. I liked Pixar in the early days, have stopped watching them not long after they were bought by Disney. Not that I became disappointed with the Pixar generated films, I wasn't, but for whatever reason I just stopped bothering to check them out. I suppose Disney has poisoned them (?) slowly.

I wonder if constant reboots of movies and tv shows are really a new thing or something that suffers from confirmation bias.

Huh?

Anyway, reboots is nothing new at all but I think it has accelerated a lot.

It's confirmation bias. Basically every story told through film is retold, rehashed, or combined from previous stuff. Mind you there's nothing strictly wrong with that, if it's well written, directed, and acted, it can still be good. Sometimes it can even be presented in an interesting enough way to make it seem new, see: Lion King, Fern Gully, Hunger Games.

I think it only seems accelerated because there is vastly more content opportunity. When there were only a handful of studios, several dozen major releases per year, 3 Networks and very, very little time for scripted programming, you still had, I'd guess, the same rate of reboots that you do today.

I think that's what hArcadio is saying.

That Golden Era from the 30s-50s saw plenty of movies being remade from earlier stuff; just far, far less total content being produced.

They're making shitty movies into TV shows. Thats desperate. I know Rich Evans said Hollywood is creatively bankrupt but now its like scraping the bottom of the barrel.

lol

The entertainment industry, including music is 99% scrapping the bottom of the barrel, milking prior works.
It's that last 1% that makes it all worth it.

Was just watching Master of None and got to the episode where a network exec suggested a reboot of Perfect Strangers but with two Indian guys :D
