Oh, I didn't know that. It must have slipped me by, thank goodness.

Not just 80's, but classic 50s, 60s and 70s films and TV programmes. And
the
occasional Japanese classic - Godzilla and The Ring.
Godzilla wasn't a
true
Godzilla film and was much more like Jurassic Park
with the Godzilla
license.
Just as long as they don't redo The Computer That Wore Tennis Shoes, War
Games or Forbidden Planet. I'd hate to think what kind of robot they would
use in place of Robbie The Robot *shudders*

"Missile Command" may become a feature film.
Say it isn't so. My wife swears all these idiots can do is rip of
80's culture, and that no one is making original movies. I'm
starting to think she's right.
