Movie - Choose Between Watching One Offs and Trilogies/Series/Franchises

Teehee

Are Charlie Chaplin's "Tramp" movies a franchise? 

What's next? Rohmer's Moral Tales or Tales of the Four Seasons ? I can live without Rohmer's work, except Triple Agent, but it would still be a loss for the kitsch appeal of Perceval.

Fucking balls! 

You really shouldn't get worked up over the industry rags like that;  half the time, it's a leaked pitch to gauge interest.  When it's on the front page of Variety, then it's time to worry.  BIG BUCKS FOR BOFFO BUTCH REBOOT

ccording to a report, the duo — who worked together on True Detective — are talking about a remake of the Western classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

"There's already a script in development," a source told America's Life & Style magazine.

"Matt wants to turn a whole new generation of moviegoers into fans of the bandits."

The 1969 flick starred Paul Newman as Butch and Robert Redford as Sundance.

"Matt would play Sundance and Woody would play Butch," the insider says, adding that "he hopes Robert wants to direct!"

Butch Cassidy and Sundance kid vs horrors from beyond time and space is probably something Tim would pay to see.

Since nearly every stand-alone will be followed by a remake or sequel before too much longer, not a hard choice.

Brings up another point, though.  Most of the time, when a movie comes out, how would you know if it's a stand-alone or the start of a franchise?  Sure, sometimes we know ahead of time that there are going to be follow-ups (Lord of the Rings, f.e.), but lots of time we don't until later.

I already covered that.

One offs.

There's sequels and there's franchises I love. But I couldn't lose Mel Brooks and Hitchcock, or (many) Westerns and Wilder. That would make me sadder.

[Sheilbh]

Fucking balls! 

You've got a True Grit remake as your picture

It could be good.

Fucking balls! 

It could be good.

Like the Lone Ranger movie.

Johnny Depp should be tossed into the Tiber.

Johnny Depp should be tossed into the Tiber.

In roman times, when a when a fellow was convicted of trying to bribe a public official, they would cut off his nose, and sew him in a bag with a wild animal, and throw him in a river.

[Ed Anger]

Sew him into a bag with Tim.

You'd lose Psycho and The Birds, though.
