It's fucking boring at this point.
What movie would you like to reboot, Burt?

I have not seen it. But I don't imagine that's tough. None of them have been spectacular really.
But I do think it's another good example of saying something new& therefore worth the effort even if I don't like it.

You're a good man, Joey.
By the way, have you seen Coppola's
Dracula? Because it's pretty fucking spectacular.

Nope but I assume it makes some sense compared to the movie. That movie has some good ideas, though. Just wasn't executed very well.
