I'm... kind of over all the nostalgia grabs. Remakes, reboots, remasters, even stuff "inspired" by (aka really just memed to hell and/or beaten over the head of the consumer, who's told its actually awesome and not annoying) old stories/media.

Yes, I know, nothing is truly original. But nothing feels fresh these days. /getoffmylawn

+1 They're not sincere.

[(Anonymous)]

And they are almost always inferior to the original in every possible way.

[(Anonymous)]

eh, I wouldn't group remasters in with that. I've finally been able to get copies both digital and physical of albums and movies from the 80s and 90s thanks to anniversary remasters. I've known artists who lost their masters in the Universal fire or had them held hostage by defunct labels who just want a little more money plz. remastering is fine as long as it's not the third "remaster" in 10 years.

[(Anonymous)]

IMO that really, really depends. I can think of no small number of things that really NEED reboots or remakes for various reasons, chief among them things like:

1) The original version was low-budget and/or low-quality because it didn't gain any sort of significant popularity until after it was released
2) It was an anime adaptation of a manga that was still being serialized, so they either had to asspull an ending for the anime because the manga itself wasn't done yet or they just ended it partway through and never even animated a large portion of it
3) The original was dated in ways that are cringey rather than charming
4) It's something that would really benefit from current special effects technology

For things like that, I see a reboot or a remake as being an attempt to be closer to the original vision for whatever it was rather than as a cash grab.

I was watching an ad for The 'Burbs (2026) like, this can't be a remake of the Tom Hanks movie, can it? It can. It is. I like Keke Palmer, but what? It is kind of interesting that they made it the wife who suspects something is up with the neighbor rather than the husband (though he's maybe involved somehow, maybe?).

I know the original Lord of the Rings film trilogy is better quality wise, but I think I'd have more luck getting my wife to watch The Hobbit movies with me instead. She complained that the last time she tried to watch LOTR, it was "boring" and "confusing", and the Hobbit movies seem more simple and fast paced.

I think most (if not quite all) of the problems the book fans have regarding Francesca’s future romance with Michaela instead of Michael would be solved by simply having Michaela be a trans woman in the series.

Yes, Disney's fox Robin Hood was great and all, dreamy and dashing, but let's not forget Jake from The Rescuers Down Under - that accent!

I absolutely capital-H Hated Cozy Glow... right up until her villain reveal, whereupon she immediately became one of my favorite characters. I seriously would've watched an entire series about her, Tirek, and the Changeling Queen running around Equestria causing trouble and generally being little shits.

SO TIRED of how anything to do with anyone or anything even vaguely related to Taylor Swift is IMMEDIATELY turned on her. A Chiefs player has been accused of domestic abuse and of course the TOP comment is shitting on Travis and by extension Taylor. How about we focus on the accused abuser/the victim instead of using this as an excuse to drag someone who has nothing whatsoever to do with the situation?

I like to pretend that celebrity gossip is tacky and beneath me. But I’ve devoured every lurid detail I can find about the murders of Rob & Michele Reiner. Both my brothers have suffered mental health crises, and have threatened our parents with violence. One still lives with them. In the back of my mind, I’m always thinking, What if…

There's a girl in one of my fandoms who whines about how participating in Kinktober "traumatized" her and that she's not going to post her stories online anymore because.

It makes me wish that I could get her in contact with a war vet or a SA survivor who can tell her what REAL trauma is.

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and while I'm definitely not the world's greatest expert at secret design, I'll try my best. Please note that long comment secrets can be difficult to make with a good end result. Most of the time, I'll give it a shot but might not be able to make secrets where the text is so lengthy that I can't fit it into the limited space.

I'm trying something new with the comment secret thread and extending the deadline to comment until Monday's post goes up. I'll monitor this thread until then, and hope the extra day will be more helpful for everyone.

Cheers,

a secret maker


P.S. Please don't worry if you've submitted a secret and it hasn't been posted yet. I usually post these threads before running out of the previous batch of secrets to get a head start on the next batch.

I haven’t heard much Barry Manilow, but “Can’t Smile Without You” was in a movie. It sounds like it’s meant for people who’d bolt like frightened deer if a song ever did something surprising.
