V

[forgotten_aria]

Apparently a sequal mini-series to V is in production and they've signed on all the old actors, including Robert Englund for Willie... I'm not quite sure what I think of that, but I really did like that character in my memmory (V, I've decided, is not something you watch again in modern times.) There have been some good remakes, so perhaps it's a hopeful thing. We'll see. t

I've found that many of the things I enjoyed as a child get ruined if I rewatch them. Partly because the times have changed, but partly because my own standards have changed. There are some things, like Max Headroom, that I can still really enjoy, but there are other things that I watch, remembering them being great and loving them and then souring that. I feel like V won't really stand up to the rewatching, since I remember noticing some of the cheesiness back when I watched it first run.

That makes sense. Never mess with the childhood memories if you risk breaking them.

I have a well known tolerance in that area, so I can watch things I saw long long ago and for many of them, still like them as I did then. The others I inflict these movies on never seem to agree though... ;-)
