While reinventing a franchise is good when done right....redoing a movie just to redo it(because you don't have original ideas) is another. Batman Begins/The Dark Knight=awesome, and well done after the nipplesuit bat-crap we've have previously had. But, Land of the Lost? I think if it does as well as the series did, it had failed its premise of being better, I've seen a few ep of the original on SciFi and laughed at it(for ridiculousness, in a BAD way). The studio's are like music execs in the 80's(RATT, Quite Riot, and the crappier groups that tried the same formulaic approach(Note: I like a few songs by the two groups stated above, usually their Only hit)). Now we call these wannabee groups, 'tribute' groups for they couldn't do it on their own and now copy the famous groups in a 'good' way.

This seems to be an era of no 'NEW' ideas, rather new ways of using old ideas in mostly boring/crappy ways.





Sorry for the Flame-ness of this entree....
