kateThe June Something prompts here!
Day 2: What show or movie would you like rebooted? Same premise and storylines, but all new actors, showrunners, writers, technology, and social awareness?
I think I always go back in time to things I loved when I was a kid and things I'd like to see in this day in age. The stuff I liked has aged pretty well, and has come back into fashion, weirdly. I watched the old animated Batman, M*A*S*H, Battle of the Planets... Actually. HMMMM. Battle of the Planets might be fun to see rebooted. There's a lot of stuff that has reminded me of it over the years, but nothing exactly the same.
The Saturday morning women's wrestling that got redone with Brie Larson was a favorite. I'm trying to think of other shows I watched as a kid that might be fun to remake now, but a lot of them have been sort of redone in spirit, if not in actuality, you know? My memory isn't super great about them either.
In college it was Star Trek TNG, and Star Trek will be eternal, so no need to redo anything there. Star Wars was a big thing when I was a kid, again, no need for anything there.
MST3K? That would be good fun, but it has sort of been done, I think? I feel like there is very little that would update into something really new and different. Of course, it's late and I'm tired, so.
Yeah, gonna stick with Battle of the Planets, probably. :)
Day 3: What question would you like to see in The June Something? (We'll steal select a couple for the last two days.)
I love questions that spark story ideas, and I love to mix and match things, so I'd probably like a meme-ish thing where you select a list of characters and prompts and like, roll dice or something to smash them together and see what happens?
Or: what is the crack-iest premise you can think of based on a random piece of characterization or look for your favorite character(s)?
I also love audience participation, so perhaps One-sentence fics where your dwircle can pick a character and prompt.
The weirdest crossover/fusion you can think of from your first and most recent fandoms?

on 6/18/23 04:25 pm (UTC)For one, I'd like a recent movie to be rebooted and this time done right: Cats. I love that musical and it would've rocked as an animated movie! Those old storyboards are awesome. And even the idea they had could've been rescued, if they hadn't given it to Tom Hooper, who has no fucking idea about musicals...
I'd also love more Jane Austen movies in the style of "Fire Island", because that was such a great update to modern times in a very specific setting.
Perhaps also a new version of "To Wong Foo..." as that movie is also almost 30 years old. Some things have changed, but unfortuntaely, many have not. It would be interesting to have the younger generations like Gen Z there.
Cruel Intentions is another one, but I think that's actually getting rebooted?
And Hancock, because that movie started great but then they changed the original script and it got super messy?
Or one of my old favourites, Death Becomes her. I haven't watched that one in a while, but an update with today's beauty culture could be interesting.
And a glossy new interpretation of Murder by Death (that who-dunnit with Peter Falk), simply because I love that genre and it's having a renaissance. XD
And yes, I scrolled through my movie app for these titles and also saw some movies on there that I caouldn't remember actually buying. XD

on 6/20/23 04:49 am (UTC)It's funny because my creativity just doesn't seem to run in this direction. I'm having a tough time with the prompts this year. Also, probably tired and stressed doesn't help. :|
