It made you realize that you weren’t the only one who was more than discouraged with the world, you weren’t the only one moving toward madness.

The fact we’re getting a reboot of a reboot a mere ten years after the original says everything there is to say about the current state of the Summer Blockbuster. Good casting, mind.
