I ramble about things.

Stop Catering To Nostalgia; You’re Not Very Good At It

No, seriously… just stop.

Every time you try to cater to my nostalgia, you’re just reminding me of something that I’d much rather be watching right about now. Why watch another rehash of Terminator when I can go back and watch the superior first film… or the second for that matter? Why feature Michael Keaton’s big return as Batman in a movie starring someone else when I can go back and watch the classic Bat films from back in the day? Oh, look. Another Indiana Jones film featuring 120-year old Harrison Ford just tagging along for the ride… yeah, no thanks. I’ll stick with the trilogy; that’s more than enough for me. What’s that? A live-action remake of a classic Disney cartoon that’s going to be shittier than the cartoon it’s based on? Why the fuck would I want to watch that?

Also, stop trying to introduce your shitty next generation characters to your nostalgia acts. You can’t do that all that well, either. If you want to do the next generation, then do the fucking next generation and only have a couple old guys or gals around to send our new heroes off. I could think of one show that did that wonderfully. It’s called Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Enough with the nostalgia acts. They only remind me of things that used to be good. They also remind me of things I could be watching right now instead of your shit film.

21 Years Ago In TNA #06 – People Paid Money For This… (July 24th, 2002)

So here we are… week six into this NWA-TNA adventure, which means it’s the first show I’m watching after subscribing to the Impact Plus service, which houses many quality TNA PPVs that I would much rather watch, but instead, I’m doing this. Why the fuck am I even doing this? What do I have to gain by continuing to watch these dreadful shows on a weekly basis? I don’t even subject myself to RAWs from this period; the monthly PPVs were bad enough.

So I’m giving this experiment another five weeks and we’ll see if it’s worth continuing onwards.
