Nice curls...(??!)

... is the only positive thing I can say about the Conan reboot out in cinemas soon.

It's depressing that the systematic pillaging of the '80s continues apace, along with the suffixes "2", "3", "4" or "5" which seems to appear on movie titles with increasing regularity.

For me it's the fact that the remakes/reimagings/reboots (whatever label you want to give them) are intruding onto the canon of some of my favourite movies as a teen. No sign of an Animal House or Bachelor Party film coming soon, but the thought of Total Recall in 2012 just makes my heart sink.
