And the Flame Wars begin...

[Commander Taggart]

In the wake of Bishop37 informing AICN of Larson's statement that a real BSG film will be forthcoming "within the next year and a half," the clones have gone to town.

Check it out if... if you have the stomach.

Good lord, what a bunch of rabble rousers on that website.  They'd cuss out their own mother if it made them look cool...

The problem is that Hollywood hasn't been faring well this year (same day ticket sales are down every day compared to last year).  And they are blaming the remakes (herbie, willie wonka, etc.).  So it could be yet another TOS BSG curse in timing if all this is true.

[Commander Taggart]

But has there been anyone clamoring for another Herbie movie?  Has anyone taken up a collection to publish an ad in Variety begging for a remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?

If there are Herbie and Wonka campaigns out there, though, I've missed them.

People have been screaming for the return of BSG for nearly three decades.  Even after Universal tried to pull the wool over our eyes, fans generated enough money to repeat the message that we weren't fooled.

Anyhow.  I'm at a really weird place where I become skeptical when anyone says it "might" happen and defensive when anyone says it "won't."

I need chocolate.

Nope and nope.  

I don't buy the argument that they won't do it with the new series, as people will get confused.

The new series will create a lot of new old series fans, as they won't be able to get enough BSG, and want to see where it all started.  I think it will add interest, not take away.

I also think all of the blasting going on at that other site using examples from BSG1980 is unfair.

I liked the post from someone who is acting with Jack Stauffer. Jack's cool!
