What is it with executives and reboots at the moment?<br /><br />Kate - thanks for the link, unfortunately I'm one of the few people in the western hemisphere who hasn't yet invested in an iPhone. Should I do so, I'll be certain to zap bad vampires on it.<br /><br />Troy - I trust the explosion of your head was neither painful nor fatal. It's funny isn't it? You, Francisco and myself have all thrown our hands up in despair at Summit Entertainment and vented our spleen in no uncertain terms ... and yet none of us give a crap about the Twilight movies!Neil Fulwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686296295535235988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14575780.post-56820689586611010262010-01-15T05:15:48.570+00:002010-01-15T05:15:48.570+00:00Hmm, I should know better than to use < and >...Hmm, I should know better than to use < and > in a post as that goes bye-bye when you publish your comment.<br /><br />Anyways, after my "argh" at the end there was supposed to be the sound of my head exploding.<br /><br />In fact it exploded so much that I didn't even notice that TFC made essentially the same point I did. Seriously, I'd be annoyed if I was a Twilight fan, and I make fun of those people every chance I get.Troy Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843741571724231174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14575780.post-82829693325219653162010-01-15T05:12:47.897+00:002010-01-15T05:12:47.897+00:00Sweet Jesus...how can you reboot a series that onl...Sweet Jesus...how can you reboot a series that only has FOUR BOOKS written about it.

But I feel pissed off - like you at the production company's greed (they're basically conning the fans into seeing the movies all over again before they complete the series) - and also because the fans deserve to see the full series with its original cast.Neil Fulwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686296295535235988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14575780.post-51720081093100727882010-01-14T12:40:32.497+00:002010-01-14T12:40:32.497+00:00Please dont take my last comment as if I gave a ra...Please dont take my last comment as if I gave a rats ass about this series of films.

I mean, didnt this series JUST get started? <br /><br />A reboot doesnt make sense at all, this series is just getting started, what the hell? <br /><br />Thats as if they had decided to reboot the Harry Potter films by the third movie! Thats fucking stupid! <br /><br />Sounds to me like they simply want to make more money by including even younger kids in their target audience. This isnt a genuine desire to reboot a series...this is simply put GREED. <br /><br />They should just at least end the series they started with the characters they started with for crying out loud.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.com
