Mark84 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 While talking about the cast of Ocean’s 8, Sarah Paulson jokingly said she wished she’d been wearing a diaper when she met Rihanna (a little after the 3 minute mark). Link to comment
Darkfinn Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Ocean's 8? So we're setting the stage for a prequel trilogy, with 9 & 10 to follow? Hollywood really is out of fresh ideas. Link to comment

Hollywood really is out of fresh ideas. Not prequels. Sandra Bullock’s character is Danny Ocean’s sister. Not that it really makes it any better, but... Link to comment

Hollywood really is out of fresh ideas. The early aughts were burdened with mediocre remakes of Asian horror films, now is the era of the gender-swapped property (Ghostbusters, Ocean's 8, Evil Dead, etc). Remakes of Overboard, and Kung-Fu are coming. Movie producers get to crow about feminism, and it actually tricks a lot of people into supporting the films, or comics; yet if they really cared about the characters, or women as a whole, they'd create new properties. Wolverine didn't start off as the most popular X-Men member, he had a small role in a Hulk comic, and became popular gradually. Speaking of comics, I think Disney has been perusing their Marvel property a bit too much, as they are about to pull a Riri Williams with their most Iron Man like property that isn't Iron Man, The Rocketeer.

Bettypooh Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Entertainment is a business, and is all about getting you to spend money the way they want you to. Once you fully grasp that concept it is easy to understand the why of sequels being lesser and their taking the easy road of continuing concepts instead of doing the hard work of bringing us totally new ideas. Even Star Trek, one of the most popular entertainment concepts ever, eventually fizzled and faded when the new angles ran out. Nobody expected it to have a 40+ year run! In the end everything gets old and stale no matter how much you try to keep it updated. Me included. Bettypooh Link to comment
