Enough with the Fucking Reboots Already!!!

Dab Nabit! First I hear there making a third version of Battlestar Galactica and a Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie that will have nothing to do with the show or Josh Whedon, but now Sony is releasing a fourth Spider-man movie that will have nothing to do with the previous three movies. It will be a complete remake with Peter Parker back in High School. Fuck! If things go as planed it will be released in 2012. That is only ten years after the first Sam Raimi movie. In contrast Batman Begins came out 16 years after the first Burton Batman movie and 7 years after Batman & Robin. Also Batman Begins was made because Batman & Robin is considered one of the worst movies ever made and while it made a profit it was not a huge hit. Spider-man 3's reviews were not great, but it made a shit load of money for Sony. In fact it was the highest grossing film of the series. Next to The Dark Knight, it is the highest grossing superhero movie ever.

So why the fuck is Sony making a completely new version of Spider-man when people are still willing to pay lots of money for the old one? I understand that there was eventually going to be a Spidey film without Raimi or Tobey McGuire, but why can't they just do a continuation of the current series with a different director and cast? There are plenty of movie series that have had changes in director without completely sacrificing continuity. And again, it will only be ten fucking years since the first movie. What are they going to do? Retell his origin? Have him fight the green goblin again? I'm not saying a good director couldn't do a better film than the old one or at least approach the character in a different way that is just as satisfying, but they should at least let more time pass before doing so.
