I have a question

[Mr Films]

This came up from me reading one of the responses in Boomin's thread concerning the upcoming live action Transformers movie. The post in question read: "If they fuck this up, my childhood will be nothing but dust in the wind."

My question is how exactly re-visiting something that you found fond as a child ruins your childhood (which, presumably has already taken place). Or more so, how if they don't revisit it to your liking, it erases whatever took place when you were young.

Like, when Lucas issued the Special Edition Star Wars flicks in 1997 with new SFX. This was some big deal. And in 2004 when it was announced that the special editions were coming out and not the original original versions, people moaned and moaned and photoshopped pics of Lucas saying "Fuck your childhood." popped up.

What's the big fuckin' deal?

[Yeti]

Oh, its a big fuckin deal alright!

I guess it's kind of like having someone take the worn old stuffed animal that you keep in the corner of your closet and then ripping it open with a pocket knife and sewing it back shut with a dead cat inside.

It doesn't really change the memories that you had of the plush toy, but it still bugs you to know that it's been wrecked and you can't even be near it without smelling the stench.

Does that help?

[tracky]

i think you've nailed it

Now I have a question, why not just ask this in the original thread?

yeah, but do you really consider these movies/shows/whatever yours?

cuz it'd probably be overlooked.

Mr Films, you've got more questions than the police.

You know, I've never understood this either. Why people invest themselves emotionally in a TV show or a movie or a song or whatever, which they had not hand in producing but of which they are merely consumers, and want it treated as thought it should be sacred and kept in a museum in an airless box and gazed at reverentially from behind a velvet rope. I mean, get over it.

I saw Fonzie's leather jacket in the Smithsonian.

there we go, that's a bit more concise than I put it.

I remember when ET got re-released in 2002. As a kid, that was my favorite fucking movie ever. With the re-release, they went in and digitally removed guns from cops hands and replaced them with radios and I had friends say things like "way to ruin a classic."

give me a fuckin' break.

good night folks.

this made me lol. I was thinking of the band first, mind you.

Think of it this way...

You meet a girl, go out, have a great time, and she is even nice enough to give you some head int he car before you drop her off. SOme of the best, mind blowing head you've ever received. You never had, and never will get head better than today.

This goes on for a few weeks, but no real relationship comes from it.

You see her a few months later, and long story short, she reveals to you that she's really a guy dressed in drag.

Still be best head you ever had? Or is is somehow tainted after you see "her" presented to you differently.

[Sarky Devotchka]

jesus, you love talking about blow jobs.

[bigblu89]

Yes I do, and stop calling me Jesus.

You're giving me a complex.
