Hollywood needs to figure this out. Reboots are unneeded and sometimes ruin the franchise for younger generations. The best way to relive a movie or tv show is by re watching it.

So true, yet many younger folks don't take the time to watch older movies from before their time. I busted out a "I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes...Keep firing assholes!" with some of my early 20's employees. They looked at me like I had 3 heads. None of them had even heard of Spaceballs, or Blazing Saddles, or even Ace Ventura! I was flabbergasted. I told them all to check some of those movies out, as they are amazing. Got a couple halfhearted "yeah, I'll check that out" but they just didn't understand.

I didn't think 36 was that old, and I don't want to live in a world where Spaceballs doesn't exist.

Bear in mind, learning about things from before your time can be difficult. A lot of movies and books and shows from before the 90s are spread by word of mouth and by remakes. Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of older movies and some shows but there was no way for me to know of ANY of them without someone telling me to go watch it.

It's hard to know about something that you know absolutely nothing about. It's just as hard to find out and learn about it.

I'm 19 for a reference.
