The guy who co-wrote Prometheus is working on a reboot of The Mummy.

It’s depressing.

[Danny Stephenson]

A reboot? Already? Christ. Just stop it now Hollywood. Not even waiting 15 years before remaking…

[Ridley]

Next they’ll be rebooting Dracula or Frankenstein! Madness!

[genericnerdyusername]

Is it actually a reboot? Not just a completely new film that has a mummy in it? If not, why not?

[Blisschick]

Please no. I agree, Hollywood just needs to quit already.

I read that at Twins 2 is going to be made.* My first question was “Why?” The second was “Wasn’t the first one bad enough?”

*Interpreted that Arnold Schwarzenegger needs a new job now that he’s not busy screwing up California. Or bonking the maid.

…or ‘Terminating’

Do I spy a Rocky Horror quote?
Sorry had to say that. Cause Rocky Horror is,you know,just the greatest film of all time.

Better than Ice Age 2: The Meltdown?? Not humanly possible! ;P

[Claire]

I love “Rocky Horror” too. :D

[Kelly M]

And I just realised it isnt a Rocky Horror quote.Why did I think it was a Rocky Horror quote?What is wrong with my mind tonight?
Fuck.This is akward……uhm….
TO THE ZEN ROOM!

[Claire]

– Great Scott! :)

[pfm]

Where is that quote from then?

Btw I’ve only ever seen clips of Rocky Horror…maybe it’s time I gave it a whirl??

[Claire]

Which quote? “Zen room” and “Great Scott!” are from “Rocky Horror”.

Or if you mean the thread title, it’s from “MeSquared”. :)

I love Rocky Horror, too. You’d better change the subject now, before I ruin everything by getting the photos of me in my fishnets out.

Again.

[Claire]

OK, back to RD. How about that Low Rimmer, then? ;)

[Ben Paddon]

It’s obviously a quote from that one bit in “Down With the Sickness” by Disturbed.

[Blisschick]

Um, yeah, that guy definitely has mommy issues.

If my memory serves me correctly (which it obviously doesn’t according to the last few posts) Demons and Angels was my first episode of Red Dwarf.

And I fell in love with it at that scene.

[Claire]

Yes, that scene definitely makes an impact. :)

It wasn’t my first ep, though. I can’t remember my first ep; RD is just one of those shows that was always there.

[Connell]

Legion was my first episode. Absolutely loved it, especially the scene where they attempt to eat with Legion’s utensils.

[Ben Paddon]

I think my earliest Dwarf memory is arriving at a familymembers’ house late at night as “Emohawk” was premiering. I remember seeing the “Change of plan! LEGG IIIIIITTTT!!” moment on the telly shortly before falling asleep.

[si]

I definitely saw Kryten, and may have seen series one. But I’m sure there’s at least five other threads where I’ve said all this before, so I’ll not bore you all again.

XD

>“Emohawk”

Fact: the latter half of Emohawk is a thousand times funnier if it’s your first experience of Ace and Duane.

[Ridley]

Think my first experience of Duane was Can’t Smeg, Won’t Smeg.

[ChrisM]

Is it actually a reboot? Not just a completely new film that has a mummy in it?

I’d like to see the latter. I didn’t dislike the other remake/reboot with Brendan Fraser. Quite liked it in fact particularly having the Mummy as a kind of undead super-sorcerer with desert powers rather than just a shambling bloke wrapped in bandages (although that is a creepy image). I didn’t mind the first sequel either, although the stuff concerning reincarnation made little sense. (I’ve yet to see the other sequel.)

However a modern film dealing with the mummy character getting back to the proper scary horror roots rather than the blockbuster action movie extravaganza would be highly welcome. Mind you, they sort of did that with the rather good but somewhat overlooked Bubba Ho-Tep, but that had other themes and wasn’t really about the mummy so much. (Great film though.)

Or, with the new Three Stooges movie being released, it could be a remake of the Abbot and Costello one
