I’ll take, “Things that didn’t need a reboot, remake, or sequel” for $100, Alex.

Disparaging the reboot is a rebootable offense

Oh wow, another remake cash grab for millennial nostalgia with no hint of any original plot or story line. Simply one “look it’s the person from Beetlejuice” shot again after another.

This is more for GenX nostalgia. The oldest millennials were barely 7 when this came out and most probably didn’t see it until they were older.

That’s why the nostalgia is for Millenials, they grew up watching this movie from childhood.

Hey, maybe we can get Keaton and Shelley Long to do a remake of ‘Graveyard Shift!’

Good comment. It also reminded me of some good three generation movies. “Diamonds” with Kirk Douglas and Dan Aykroyd and “Family Business” with Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman, and Matthew Broderick.

Since you like remakes:

Ah hey, yet another remake money grab for millennial nostalgia without creativity. Just “ooh that guy from Beetlejuice” scene one after another.

I can’t tell if it’s a straight remake using much of the original cast reprising their roles, or a sequel with much of the original cast reprising their roles.

A sequel could be cool. A straight remake, using the original actors, seems weird. It’s like… Not even a remake. It’s just a reshoot. Decades later.

Looks more like a sequel based on the daughter of Lydia. Which is interesting but looks really like it might be the same movie.
