If they just re-released the original and called it a remake, people will refuse to see it and claim it’s inferior by sheer virtue of the fact that it wasn’t part of their personal childhood.
No account for taste, Phoebe. Let’s just say the internet and I often disagree. Maybe things will changes when it grows up and actually gets some good taste.
“Confetti Canyon” seems to be like the 1980s TV comedy “Police Squad” which was also axed because of too few regular viewers. That also gained a large enough cult following for a movie remake “The Naked Gun” which proved far more commercially successful than “Police Squad”.
It’s not specifically the Internet. It’s always been pretty common to like something that either popular opinion or critical opinion (or both) says is bad, and vice-versa.
“Keep smiling, keep shiningKnowing you can always count on me, for sureThat’s what friends are forFor good times and bad timesI’ll be on your side forever moreThat’s what friends are for”
The Internet is good because it gives a voice to the masses; the Internet is bad because it gives a voice to the masses – “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”…
Awesome is in the mind of the awed. And let’s never forget things like The Rocky Horror Picture Show that are so far beyond awful that they become a whole new kind of experience.
The majority of times a few can complain to get something changed when most want to keep it like it is ,but it still gets changed. Like tearing down Confederate statues, or stopping prayer at some events, or not saluting our flag. I could go on and on!!
I realize this is rather late, but I was out of town attending BronyCon in Baltimore Maryland until just this morning. Anyways, I remember a few years ago I came across a review for a movie that my family always enjoyed called “Baby’s Day Out”, the movie is very cliche but that didn’t matter to us, but this review from a “professional critic” was taking the movie and tearing it to shreds. I also recall looking up on various sites movies I grew up with and seeing the so-called “professionals” giving scathing reviews, and I always thought “what the heck?, it’s a KIDS movie, not some oscar nominee or Broadway masterpiece, you shouldn’t judge it for being something that it is not.”

Probably has either a conservative hero or a pro-christian story line. Then the far left types won’t need to watch it to call it bad.
