5 Movies/TV Shows I think Deserve Reboots

So it seems like movies are getting re-booted every few minutes. Whether it be like 500 versions of Spiderman or some classic TV movie reboots that are in the works or a sequel to an old classic... some of these don't quite deserve to be rebooted... but there are a few I think really deserve another reboot or a sequel or something extra. The movies might have been good, but I don't think they all did them just right... so for that... here's some reboot ideas.

1) Get Smart- I didn't dislike the Steve Carell/ Anne Hathaway movie that came out a few years ago... but I feel like when you're re-booting a movie that already has a really funny and exciting source material it can be a little bit tricky. There were talks of a sequel... but I think they could do it a little better. I can imagine Jonah Hill writing it and Maybe Joel McHale or Ty Burrel for Maxwell and for Agent 99 I could see Abbi Jacobsen, Emma Stone, Amy Adams, Isla Fisher or Jenna Fisher. Maybe even Zooey Deschannel... Idk I think it would be cool. There is a lot that can be done with this movie that I just don't think was there.

2) Ghost Rider- I love the original Ghost Rider Movie. I even thought the second movie was a ton of fun. I liked Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendez... I love the character of Ghost Rider and the story. I just thought it was really cool. It was largely hated by critics... and even when I re-watch it... I can see it was definitely not a good movie. I still love it and think its good... but all in all I know it is deep down a bad movie. I think if they cast someone a little younger and maybe a male and female lead that actually had chemistry together... it could be good. I think this would be good if Netflix did a show on it. I feel like with Jessica Jones and Daredevil... they should expand their Marvel Knights tv shows and do The Punisher and Ghost Rider. I think I would cast Daniel Radcliffe as Ghost Rider and Rachel McAdams as the female love interest. I think Daniel Radcliffe was a good choice for Ig in Horns, although I didn't love the movie compared to the book and I feel like he would really capture Johnny Blaze well also. I didn't see True Detective Season 2 and I know maybe not everyone agrees with Rachel McAdams as a choice... but I can see her with Daniel Radcliffe and I feel like she'd be a good match for him. Idk.

3) Soap- This is a great show from the 70s ... maybe 80s that I'm not totally sure would be quite as funny if they made a movie of it today... but I feel like it could definitely work and if they kept the same insane story lines and over the top acting and great jokes it would be wonderful. Jessica Walter would 100% Play Jessica Tate. There are a lot of great actors that could be Benson... Anthony Anderson, the guy that played Mosby on The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, The guy from Animal Control on Parks and Rec, Ron Funchs. For Corrine I'm thinking Judy Greer and the other daughter... Idk. Neil Patrick Harris as the guy with the dummy. Andy Samberg would be good in it... there are a lot of people on the show that are important and I think if Paul Feig and Katie Dippold were thinking of doing another reboot... this would be a good show to do!

And you don't hear a lot about it... so thats good. Its a really funny show.

4) The Princess Diaries- Don't get me wrong... I love the Anne Hathaway version and I heard there are possible fake rumors of there being another Princess Diaries movie... which I'd be okay with... but I would love to see a TV series on The CW or something. These books really show what its like to be a teenager, and I grew up with them and think they would be so good for kids to see on TV and watch and get addicted to as well. I think that book series translate well into tv shows and this would be a good one to do. I'd also love if it followed the books and kept it a little less Disney than it was. Also they need to include Mia's group of friends because they're just amazing.

5) Harry Potter... kind of- So I don't really want a Harry Potter reboot, but I would kind of like to see a tv show of just a normal kid's life going to Hogwarts... cause I'm sure there's still a lot of adventure for ordinary wizards and it would just be fun to see more of Hogwarts. With all the Harry Potter play's and Fantastic Beasts movies coming out, I'd love to just see something at Hogwarts.


And that is it for right now. I probably have more suggestions and more reboots I'd like to see... but for now I think this is it! I'll do more of these... if I feel fitting... but right now this is all it is! Hope something of these gets made!

Byeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
