Trailer[^] Looks good. Looking forward to it.

Yeah. People should get the job because they, well, deserve it, not because of the color of skin. But, if you've got two people of more-or-less equal talent, I don't see any problem giving a leg-up to someone of a group who've been discriminated against...

Positive discrimination, by definition, is still discrimination!!

Which costs less? a. Getting new stories written. b. Rehashing the same few stories again and again.

Agree with your point but the reboots should better than existing series at-least not bad. Like Nolan's Dredd, Batman series Not like Robocop, recent Godzilla, Amazing spiderman, Ninja Turtles, etc.,

The only thing that irritates the shit out me every time they decide to "re-heat" a superhero is that we have to see FOR THE ELEVENTY-SEVENTH time how Peter Parker became Spiderman and how Bruce Wayne became Batman etc. Why can't they just move on, assuming that we have already seen one of the zillion movies about that before?

I disagree. A reboot for me means a rehash of the story made in a different way - different director, actors, script, staff etc. so it can't be the same. It all really depends on who gets to make the movie. Of course I always wish for movies to be at least as good if not better than the existing series but that isn't the case. As you have pointed out Robocop, Spiderman and Ninja Turtles were all disappointing. Recent Godzilla was great in my opinion.

That's reverse discrimination. The ability to get a job should not rest on the color of someone's skin, or perceived wrongs impressed upon that person by imagined oppressors. In short, what you said is a crock of sh|t.

That's true. But since we all discriminate every day, it doesn't mean much.

maybe, and I see your point, but we all have the right to discriminate and where all things are otherwise equal, then trying to make up for past mistakes by trying to help can't be all bad.

I would imagine they cost about the same and I think two very different stories could probably take very different means to tell and therefore the cost would be very different. So, it's not a very good way to compare.

For oldtimers like us that can be irritating, but they're also going after new audiences, too. But, maybe they could do it with short, relevant flashbacks... "I feel your pain" ;P

But the oppression that black people have suffered (and to some degree still suffer) is hardly imaginary. Granted, what I've described something I wouldn't do necessarily. But when given the choice between two equally talented people, one white, one minority and they both fit the part equally, then I guess it comes down to who you like better, I suppose, on a personal level. It becomes more personal I guess...

Not at all. The most expensive thing in ents is creativity, because of the dearth of it. If you want a new story in Hollywood, you have to pay for it, a lot, and usually several times (because the mentioned dearth of creativity does not map to a dearth of people who claim to be creative), whereas a remake, you can pretty much do yourself without hiring any writers -- a few silly tweaks, and it looks creative, even though it's really not.
