Why can't we just leave well enough alone.

Corporate greed

The second they (hollywood) fucked with The Three Stooges I knew they have no boundaries they won't cross. Want to bet they attempt to A.I Bob Barker for another fight scene?

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Welcome to modern media, where nothing is new and everything is a "reboot" or a "sequel". you'll get regurgitated slop passed between a few media conglomerates and if anything actually ends up decent it'll be canned and wiped from the earth before anyone can see it.

Let good things be. Stop it.

Sandler's goofy, weird speaking & mannerisms worked when he was 20. They don't work now that he's an aging middle aged man. He just seems... Idk man, I don't have a better word for it. He just seems retarded.

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Always has. Wasn't that the whole joke of Billy Madison?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Waterboy. Little Nicky.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Sounds extra lame

[–] Onii-Chan@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't do this, Netflix. Happy Gilmore is sacred ground.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sandler said Shooter McGavin already leaked it... appears they have all the (surviving) cast on board.

[–] Tom_Hanx_Hail_Satan@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not going to watch it but I'm happy shooter is getting a paycheck. He's such an underrated character actor.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

yeah, given sandler's last few years I'm hopeful but not expecting a hit.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)

mahn has there ever been a good sequel to a cult classic? i dont think so. this sounds terrible.

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Planet of the apes, kinda. On the second try at least.

Mad Max.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

True, but that wasn't made 30 years later. The era and age in which Sandler's material worked is long gone.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

While true, there's very very few that were good when made decades after the last one.

you found one!!

Alien / Aliens

Unbreakable / Split (but not Glass!)

I feel like I’m the only person who loved Clerks and did not enjoy Clerks 2 at all

How about Grandma’s Boy 2?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

would love this but there are some serious problems with some of the actors apparently.

Also appears that Allen Covert, the star, is doing more behind the camera work these days. But considering how very on point the movie was deriding the game industry, a return to the universe could be fun.

[–] TurboHarbinger@feddit.cl 6 points 1 year ago

Can he just retire? Please?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Alternative headline: Netflix executives are completely out of new ideas, and have vowed to never release new content again

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Bring back mind hunter you dumb fucks and maybe I will resub.
