  7. MauricioArgento says:

    lol, this comixed is priceless. So, so damn true lmao

  8. Tomcat says:

    Never knew Hawaii Five-O was remade…

    The ‘sad but true’ tag says it all.

  9. :D says:

    So true. Hollywood has no creativity anymore.

    • Sam says:

      I think you mean the people Hollywood let’s make movies

      • katillac says:

        You make it sound as if Hollywood is a living entity that makes decisions. Anyone with the right budget can make a movie. A few have made it big with small budgets. They are the rare ones but it does happen. The problem is, as :D points out, lack of creativity. There is only so much room for fresh, new ideas, but come on, if someone is going to remake a movie, at least do the original justice and not rely so much on CGI. Then again, that’s what the general public expects. So much for having an imagination.

  10. dcn says:

    It seems like almost every new movie these days is either a remake, based on a children’s book, or just a stupid idea. And every new show is a mixture of two existing shows.

    *Raises hand*

    The Doc takes Marty to the year 2015, not 2010.

    • Sarah says:

      This stuff will still be around in 5 years.

      That is, if my plans to destroy Hollywood should fail.

    • Shane says:

      Comment FAIL.

      The comic says 25 years into the future, in the movie it’s 30 years. 1985 + 25 = 2010.

    • D.M. says:

      Not getting the joke FAIL.
      It has nothing to do with the movie, actually. It’s the fact that those things were all around 25 years ago, and updated versions of them have just come out recently. So Marty says, “Hey, why don’t we go into the future and see what’s new?” and instead, they see all these things that are from the ’70s and ’80s.

  12. A sapient raccoon says:

    Every generation is obsessed with the world when they were growing up. In the 1970s, people were obsessed with the 1950s (Grease, Happy Days). Now that people in their 20s and 30s are the target demographic, we see an obsession with the 1980s.

    • Vince says:

      I’m looking forward to Pokemon and Twilight remakes :D

      • The Risu says:

        I actually experienced a severe twitch on the entire side of my face when I read that, Vince. :-\

        If there really IS a merciful, loving deity out there, then that will never come to pass. Granted, Pokemon was pretty nifty when it first came out, FIFTEEN YEARS AGO (and when I was in high school, I FEEL OLD), but it’s gone now, man. Let the franchise die with (what’s left of its) dignity. Twilight? I’d rather chew tinfoil like bubblegum.

        • Zoreta says:

          I don’t think that pokemon will die any time soon- it’s bigger than ever in Japan, where it’s more of a teenager-targeted game than a kiddy game.

          Since Japanese teens still love it (the latest two, black and white, outsold all the other games just in preorders), and Americans still put on the nostalgia goggles for every new release, it probably isn’t going away any time soon.

          • The Risu says:

            True, true. I admit to purchasing the Heart Gold rebuild, simply because while I didn’t like the original Gold as much as Red or Ruby, it was still a fun, solid game. The update was well-done, and I am pleased with my stroll down Nostalgia Lane. It kept the feel of the original, but with new pieces that gave it a bit of polish.

            However, for me, the series has ended with Diamond/Pearl. Black/White sounds intriguing, but damn it, I have so many games that I haven’t touched as it is, and really, though the story, villains, and pokemon change a bit each iteration, I’m still capturing and training slightly different versions of the same critters that I have captured and trained before. No, my time is done, I have put it behind me, but it WAS a good run for a while. (I STILL own every game that I’ve purchased, as well as the handhelds on which to play them. So many good memories…)

        • Labotomite says:

          i used to like chewing foil…

    • Jay says:

      Hence the joke about the Café ’80s in BttF2

  13. Asha says:

    I don’t care, when has a remake ever been better than the original?

  14. Clu says:

    Tron: Legacy was a sequel, not a remake.

  15. Jay says:

    I’m gonna go play some more Back to the Future: The Game which came out on Steam a week or two ago.

  16. Ribbit says:

    This isn’t about Hollywood lacking creativity or originality, it’s about Hollywood selling nostalgia, and nostalgia makes money. Like the revisited cultural references, this concept is nothing new, though. Nostalgia has become a bigger market gradually as the entertainment industry has developed over the last 50 years, and when you think about the impetus for this, it’s only natural to expect it to happen. Writers and producers long to revisit the days of their childhoods, and they do this through art. It works because their audience wants it, too, and they buy into it. For example, it seems obvious to me that the writer of BTTF was nostalgic for the ’50s. The makers of Toy Story were nostalgic for their childhoods when there were no computers but only toys. The aging population that’s making art is nostalgic for the classics they enjoyed as kids. I think this happens because technology changes at an accelerating pace and people take note of it and want to comment on it through their art. Movies, TV, and the people who make them aren’t immune to this phenomena. Actually, because they have so much money they can humor their nostalgia without bounds and their fans appreciate it by responding at the box office.

  17. BassBone says:

    Tron Legacy was awesome. Also, a sequel, not a remake.

  18. CJ says:

    yea i just saw the back to the future series and realized when doc was talking about going 25 years in the fututre it would be 2010

  19. feralymph says:

    Combo breaker comes from Killer Instinct (game, no film. (is there a movie ??))
    Hawaii what ?

  20. JRS says:

    So true, F**king remakes…..

  21. Ben says:

    tron and the A-team were good.

  22. Girlysprite says:

    well, on the other hand, in the actual BttF movies the future also had sequels based on eighties material. Like when Marty sees a teaser for the new Jaws movie.

  23. [...] l’ambiance des décennies précédentes. Ce n’est bien sûr pas spécifique au design, le cinéma en est un parfait exemple. La question est donc la suivante: est-ce que la brique Lego, les jeux [...]
