You know, I'm not normally a fan of outrage mobs, but this is one mob that I can get behind

that I can join even.

People are outraged because the CEO of Sony hinted that Sony might be cooking up a remake

to the Princess bride.

And I swear if they do that, if they do that, there will be riots in the streets.

And I will be there too, throwing bricks and windows and doing whatever else.

I've been waiting for an excuse to join a riot and this might actually be it.

Just leave the Princess bride alone.

Sony, just leave it alone.

There are some movies that are, there's no conceivable way to improve upon them.

They're nearly perfect as they are.

And this is one of those.

Here's an idea.

If you want to make a movie that's sort of like the Princess bride, a movie that's inspired

by it, a movie that's in the same vein as it, then just make that movie.

But there used to be this concept of genre in film where you'd have a bunch of movies

that have similar themes, similar kinds of plots, but aren't exactly the same.

And that's what we call a genre.

But now it's, now it's just every movie is the same.

So if someone says, you know, I think we should make a movie about people in space, you

know, and it's, oh, another Star Wars movie.

No, no, just another movie about people in space.
