Endless Reboots

That's good to hear. I'm always trying to expand, and I actually do watch a number of newer movies. I'm actually noired out. A majority aren't very diverse, so I try to check stuff out from other countries, or directors who are a little off-beat. I guess its about finding the right director, writer, etc., because the "classics" are the ones that get mentioned and played, but there's a wonderful movie from the 30s I was just thinking about, "La Grande Illusion". It stands on its own. Speaking of Jean Gabin, "Le Jour Se Le Vie" is a unique one. I won't spoil it, but it starts with him barricaded in an apartment, with the police outside, and the movie works backwards.
"In a Lonely Place" is a good one. I like Bogart.
Have you seen?
-Ace in the Hole (Kirk Douglas)
-The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Bogart)
-M (watch the original German, its amazing)
These are all philosophical, without getting pedantic. Thrilling, portraits of society (not this 21st century lecture ****), but they're all very different from each other.

Saw Grand Illusion in a film studies class, tried Sierra Madre but lost interest, included M in my recent Noir dive (yes, in German), will try out "Le Jour Se Le Vie" and "Ace in the Hole". Thanks for the recommendations!

Very cool, and you're welcome.
"The Blue Dahlia" is another good one, but I know I'm forgetting many.

"hire someone who can write."
———————————
They actually do hire people that can write.
1 of the Main Problems though is that a lot of audiences (definitely not all of them) are just Way Too Negative and Self-Entitled to give Reboots of anything a fair chance to prove themselves.
Instead, they will immediately start attacking, insulting, and criticizing it the moment that the Promotion for it begins. -

For me it all depends on which series is reboot. Fir instance, I watched 10 minutes of that Charmed reboot.
It was just like the original except starting different female characters. They are basically mimicking the original actresses that played the sisters so I'm like, I'll pass on this. Besides, I never really cared much for that show anyway. -
