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.

Im a millennial, and I grew up watching this movie.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

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!'

And Johnny Dangerously Jr. after that!

[–] megabat@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Anybody that doesn't want a Johnny Dangerously reboot is a fargin icehole!

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.

Hey, if being interested in some semblance of original thought makes me a grumpy old man, then...

get off my lawn!

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.
