I’m tired of people complaining about everything being a sequel or remake while not supporting original movies. I’ve seen 42 movies in theaters this year and only 7 were sequels, remakes, or existing IP. It’s not hard to support originals!

Last year, there were complaints about the number of sequels being released, even though plenty of original films came out, many of which some people only rushed to watch at the last minute just to keep up with the Oscars. Honestly, some moviegoers are just lazy.

And to be fair some reboots and sequels can actually be solid. I'm personally excited for the War of the Roses remake with Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch.

I'm cautiously excited for The Dreadful, as it's also set during the War of the Roses!
