Fear not, they're making an Eragon TV show, hopefully it'll be like His Dark Materials and do the books proper justice ;)

Personally I think sometimes a remake is ok, but the number of remakes in the past 4-5 years makes me wonder if Hollywood has lost its imagination or run out of ideas.
No, they don't make so much money on big movies like they did a few years ago even if it's a blockbuster. Competition with TV and streaming channels is eating away their profit. Most of the people don't go to movies anymore but wait till can watch it at home a month or two later for a flat price. Or watch it for free over an illegal channel about 2 minutes after it officially opened. Thus, the marketing expenses of a big movie ballooned to at least half of the money that movie cost itself. There's no more second wind by selling the DVDs. They have to invest much more money and they make much less. So, they play it safe, very, very safe. If a title even just faintly rings a bell to the people that's huge win for the marketing. A franchise is something to strive for with the added opportunities to sell toys, t-shirts, comic books and rides. Many things that the screenwriter or the director used to make decisions on now executives and marketing strategists decide.

I'd love to see a tv series of Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. They did their best with the movie, but limited animation techniques and time make it... not great
There was a British Hitch Hikers guide to the galaxy in the early 80s that stayed true to the books, but the effects were cheesy.

The Hobbit needs to be remade as one movie. The trilogy was an acknowledged cash grab. Peter Jackson won a lawsuit in 2007 against New Line Studio for them not paying him for LOTR. Next year, New Line spent more to make The Golden Compass than all 3 LOTR movies combined. When it flopped, it bankrupted the studio and WB took full ownership. Peter Jackson and WB came to an agreement where he made 3 Hobbit movies and got to keep a boatload of money since he was the majority debt owner on the now defunct studio and WB got to pay off the other bills plus a profit.
The original animated version from the early 70s.

Percy Jackson kind of did this, but honestly the new show was still disappointingly inaccurate. (Better than the films though ofc)
Honestly I really liked the new one, movie/tv adaptations can never be 100% accurate to the books.. and yeah it was a lot better than the movie version haha

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Great books, AWFUL movie. I'll never understand why they change the plot of something that is already good! Same with True Blood. If they had continued to follow the story of the books it would have been MUCH better - they added too much sex and weird stuff.
They are waiting for the AI versions of Dune and Tron, the preview stills are awesome... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/01/13/opinion/jodorowsky-dune-ai-tron.html

Glad they did this with Series of Unfortunate Events. The movie was awful. The Netflix series was excellent
Cats. The success of the Broadway show proves the story was good. Everything else was a f**king 💩 show. Who ever thought using CGI instead of costumes deserves to be shot (not really).
There is no story in Cats- either the play it the film

The Postman was a good film (despite its production issues), unless you're not talking about the Costner movie.

Heck, remake Rebel Moon. The idea was there, but, the execution was horrible. Dialogue bad. Action silly. No character development. And stop with the speeches that are meant to educate the viewer, and destroy any flow
"Did you put your name in the goblet of fire?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

Not as popular, but Reacher. Movie was AWFUL. Prime is much more accurate. Needs to be a movie! Love the books!
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels did this! Bedtime Story (David Niven, Shirley Jones, Marlon Brando)—they improved it and changed the ending, it’s fantastic.
World War Z, the Rats... Urgh, I'm not going near Harry Potter for the fallout
I've always said this, don't remake the great movies, they don't need remaking, remake the bad ones and make them better.
"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" would be perfect for a limited series on Max (Since DC has the rights)
Every Hallmark film (especially at Christmas), s@*t acting but good storyline!!!
Yes! Also, for anybody interested, look up The Edge Chronicles. It would make a great movie series.
I realized they had run out of ideas when I saw Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer. Now they are remaking movies less than a decade old. Personally a really awful movie that needs a retooling might be, forgive me, The Patriot.
Bored Panda got in touch with Sam Grannis, the creator and admin of the page and he was kind enough to share some more. Firstly, we were curious to learn more about how the page was created in the first place.
“I always loved memes, I was constantly posting on Facebook and was always told “I post the best memes” and that I should make an Instagram account dedicated to just memes. On top of that, I had followed a few meme accounts on Instagram at the time and noticed that some accounts were making money. I thought “The memes I post are better, I could do this”. And so I created my account in 2017,” he shared.
Well after my 2yo read this (on their own of course) they said, “well mommy, I would propose the notion that it’s not due to a mundane lifestyle. It’s more indicative of an insecure personality, a fragile ego if you will. They seek validation through technological services that connect humans to one another.”
Naturally, given the literal hundreds of thousands of followers, we also wanted to hear Sam’s opinion on what made the page so popular. “I have a knack for identifying what people will find funny/relate to, on top of that I also go out and do my way to post content that hasn’t been shared by 100 other accounts before I post it. So my followers know they’re gonna get hot new content on my page.”
As a teacher I make a point of telling the student teachers that they should always ALWAYS make sure they are on the janitors’ good side. They will not make your life harder if you are not, but, my goodness, can they make your teacher life easier if they like you!
We wanted to explore this idea of what makes one meme better than another, as they have been around for quite a bit. So we asked Sam to give his best shot at breaking it down. “A good meme contains a funny image/video with a super relatable/funny caption,” he shared with Bored Panda.
5 hours of prepping, 2 hours of roasting, 20 minutes of plating... 10 minutes to eat said meal, 25 minutes of rinsing dishes 2 hours of dishwaser and 20 minutes of putting dishes away. Now it's time for breakfast! LOL!
It's the ones who didn't grow up with South Park and family guy who are offended by every little detail of their simple minded life.
“The image/video is the most important component of a meme, you can have an average caption but if the content you’re using is really good, it will carry the meme and still be really funny. If you’re able to write a caption that hasn’t been overused and is still relatable/funny and the image/video you’re using is great in itself, that’s the recipe for a viral meme.” Interestingly, the caption might be one of the oldest indicators of a meme, that separates it from a generic “funny image.”
At the same time, managing a page that posts memes might be harder than it seems. The internet is changing with content rules morphing year to year, often without warning. “Running a meme account has become harder and harder as time goes on, unfortunately. The TOS (terms of service) gets stricter every day.”
“Every piece of content I post is heavily vetted by me, I have gained a very strong understanding of what’s allowed and what’s not throughout the years. Stuff that you wouldn’t even think would be removed gets removed. Any big account that’s been doing this for a long time and is active works really hard to keep its page afloat.”
“I’ll just put it this way,” Sam shared, “If I were to hand my account to a random person, I don’t think the account would remain longer than a week. It takes a very strong understanding of the TOS to carry on. What sucks about that is the quality of content suffers but it’s what must be done to maintain your account.”
It is always helpful to learn some off-grid basic techniques. Since +/- 30 years more and more of our activities depend heavily on things circling the globe and can be switched off by the owner at any given time, without notice. Or fail, without the possibility to have a technician get it go within hours. Prepper craze is not necessary, but ask (grand)parents how they handled things before satnav and smartphone were a thing. And learn to read maps, understabd street signs giving directions and some basic navigation skills.
As a former wildlife hospital volunteer, I would take a goose over a squirrel any day. Squirrels are terrifying, and they go for your face.
That isn’t dumb for a 4-5 year old; it’s just the way they reason until they learn otherwise. Unfortunately, some people never seem to outgrow this level of reasoning.
I was at a friend’s house. He said “make yourself at home!” So I kicked his a*s out because I hate visitors. And that’s when the fight started…
My alcoholic chain smoking neighbor was the one most concerned with me buying myself a cup of coffee once a week or so.
I can't wait to pull that on my daughter when we are shopping tomorrow.
To save embarrassing Google searches - A group of men covering another person with reproduction juice.
I hope they were tears of joy because that joke is hilarious, particularly for a seven year old
I painted a friend a picture of The Last Supper using every comic cat I could think of in place of the people. Bill was Jesus & dressed as Elvis. I titled it “The Last Shrimp Cocktail”. - These things happen. And I would have bought that. I would have it hanging in my house.
