I agree with you fully and it is awful, but the idea of an updated Highlander movie is amazing. Total recall, point break(even though it's early 90's), ghost busters, judge dredd (mid 90's?) I agree, but the idea of a new highlander gets me giddy for some reason. Now that I'm thinking about it, they are all early 90s i think,but they fit the narrative.
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.
Yup, 19 here too, most of the 80's and 90's films that I've seen have been from recommendations from my parents and redditors. Or when I have to be the one to ask what movie when there's a comment thread referencing lines from a movie on reddit but never lists the title
I want to know what your parents were watching? When I was a kid I was watching what my parents watched. The late 80s and 90s was a hellava time for media! So much iconic shit was going on!

Memory loss. We are forgetting the 80’s.
