The Jem & The Holograms trailer came out today and it looks like just a generic angsty pre-teen girl movie. :weep:

You'll have to rediscover the angsty pre-teen girl that liked the original cartoon.  :P

I loved that cartoon as a kid  :blush:

Yeah, the trailer looks awfully generic. And no Misfits on sight either.

Nah, he was just a young boy who didn't know how fabulous he was going to become. ^_^

Are there any 80s shows left that they haven't trashed yet? Gummi Bears, maybe?

Popples though apparently the internet has informed me that Netflix will be debuting a reboot tv series. Scraping bottom of the barrel much? :D

I've never heard of that show. Looks similar to the Wuzzles.

Finally took Sheilbh up on a Douglas Sirk melodrama.  Watched All That Heaven Allows (1955) and loved it.  A

Seen Ex Machina; a bit disappointed. It's a decent film, but I probably got caught in the hype. There's just lots of navel-gazing and mumbo-jumbo to dress up what's ultimately a rather basic vamp girl story.

Mad Mad Fury Road. Visually beautiful, perfect music, brutal non stop chase through the desert. Go and watch it.

I actually enjoyed the ReBoot tv show at the time.  For a kids show (when I was in my 20s) it suddenly developed a multiple-show story arc.  It was rather interesting.

Yes; nah; it does stop a fair amount.  But overall I agree.  It's pretty great. :)
