If you could only watch one off movies or Franchise/Series/Trilogies
Option 1: I'll watch only One Off / Stand Alone films
votes: 9
Option 2: I choose Series/Trilogies/Franchises.
votes: 11
You have to choose between which two types of films to be limited to watching in future.
Which is it, only one off/stand alone films or Franchise/Series/Trilogies
This includes all films not just future releases.
Wanna watch 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' or 'The Third Man' then no 'Star Wars' or 'Godfather' films for you.
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!11111
I'll take the franchises. Any halfway decent action/adventure movie gets a sequel. I like Oscar-bait movies too, but not as much.
Be much easier to give up comedies.
I couldnt give up the Godfather I or II so the decision is easy.
The length of a one-off film is usually not sufficient to tell a great story.
I punch the person trying to make me choose.

That's even better :yes:
Probably wouldn't be the first time Mongers got punched over something he posted online.
Right in the balls.
Since nearly every stand-alone will be followed by a remake or sequel before too much longer, not a hard choice.
Think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid won't be part of a franchise? Think again. It will be rebooted soon with 4 sequels. They'll all be crap, but we can still watch the original.
Do we get to keep TV series? I'm willing to give up franchises *only* if we keep TV series.
Are Charlie Chaplin's "Tramp" movies a franchise? :unsure:
;)
Well I can always make sequels to my favorite stand alone films. Destroying all copies of sequels seems harder.

Quoteccording 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!"
Teehee

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. :(

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

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

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.

It could be good.

Sew him into a bag with Tim.

You'd lose Psycho and The Birds, though.
