    - starring Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansen? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 13:16
- IMO the remakes have to prove they're really better than the original. But I don't see why bother to make an 1:1 copy - marcel Jul 8, 12:57 2

- Safe House B- -- nm - Epiphany Jul 8, 12:27
If new origin story = reboot, then Transformers is definitely a reboot. - Inigo Jul 8, 12:18 21
- There's been a bajillion animated Batman movies. They don't count towards what people perceive as "Batman". - Reagen Jul 8, 12:32 8
  - I'd say the difference is that the Transformers orginal movie was a nationwide release in theatres. Those were not. -- nm - Inigo Jul 8, 13:13 4
    - So you would call LOTR a reboot, then? - Kim Pine Jul 8, 13:15 2
      - it nearly had enough animation to qualify -- nm - zork Jul 8, 13:27
      - Nah, I conceded MDH and Reagen point from B2 in the original post. -- nm - Inigo Jul 8, 13:23
    - I think we date ourselves by having any awareness of that film. I doubt that 90% of the people who saw Transformers had ever heard of it. -- nm - David Jul 8, 13:14
  - This. I stand by my comments on Transformers. -- nm - MDH Jul 8, 12:47
  - Adam West was in the first Batman movie. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 12:33 1
    - "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 12:33

    - *glove slap* -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 8, 13:23 1
      - you have to give this to me. I have been saying it for 20 years and it's a bone I can't let go of. - zork Jul 8, 13:31
  - A local movie reviewer (and former BOP) said that Sony was contractually obligated to make a Spidey movie or lose the rights. Is this true? -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 8, 13:04 6
    - yes. -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 14:57
    - Is that Collier? - David Jul 8, 13:13 3
      - Yeeh, that's who I heard it from. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 8, 13:20 2
        
        He's a funny dude. I think the larger point for Spider-Man is that the movies earned $2.5 billion and Sony wanted more revenue. -- nm - David Jul 8, 13:22 1
        
        I enjoy his stuff. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 8, 13:38
    - The rights would have reverted back to marvel (hence Disney) -- nm - MDH Jul 8, 13:10
  - Yeah, I think Spidey's biggest problem is that this reboot is exactly the same as the movie we saw in 2002. - Inigo Jul 8, 12:31

- this can only mean *one thing* - prayformojo Jul 8, 12:12 5
  - Most book club meetings are held Friday nights? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 12:15

  - If they're living to 100yrs old, we're clearly not scraping up the last of the species. Dig in. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:46 1

- Of those two I like the catamaran - also the copper leaf. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 8, 11:08 1
  - I lost momentum after my vacation. These days I just post when I have something I like - and sometimes cheat by posting more than one a day. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 8, 11:31
This is a most excellent fan-made promo for Breaking Bad Season 5. Having said that, it involves Walt Jr. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 8, 10:48 [Image] 3
- I first saw that on FB and the lower part was below the scroll, so it seemed like Jr's bit part was becoming juicier -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 8, 12:39

McEnroe just said exactly what I was thinking (Wimbledon spoilers) - Dano Jul 8, 10:00 3
- Well he - Under the Influence Jul 8, 10:25
- I feel bad for Murray. He's probably not going to win a Slam in the current environment. - Will Hunting Jul 8, 10:12
- Heh, I said something similar last night. -- nm - Spawn Jul 8, 10:03
So since today's the last game before the All-Star break, Greinke could potentially start three straight Brewers games. -- nm - nubby Jul 8, 09:57 3

- gray hairs and a slide ruler -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 8, 10:23 5
  - salt and pepper goatee, or at least gray side burns -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 8, 12:48
  - Bery can't afford one, he still uses the abacus passed down from generation to generation in his family. -- nm - Under the Influence Jul 8, 10:27 3
    - I can count to 1023 on my fingers ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 10:53 2
      - *recounts* Oh, if I do jazz hands, that's 2047 -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 10:55 1
        
        senior jazz hander? -- nm - amanda Jul 8, 11:30
- Experience in years is probably the key. -- nm - Old Antarctic Explorer Jul 8, 10:01 5

    - I might add a problem-solving specialty, such as... - Old Antarctic Explorer Jul 8, 10:55 3
      - It was mostly just pondering where my career currently sits on the scale, not a job hunt scenario -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 12:34 2
        
        I vote for Senior, given what I've seen on this site... - Old Antarctic Explorer Jul 8, 12:52 1
