Four Sci-Fi Movies That Should Totally Get A Reboot
In general I hate the idea of rebooting or remaking a classic movie. They very rarely are as good as the original and come across as a lazily made cash grab which is exactly what they usually are. I mean if a movie is considered to be a timeless classic, why else would Hollywood feel the need to revisit that story? Take Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes for example. Did anybody working on this movie really believe they were producing something special? I highly doubt it.

Looking Glass Part 4: The Day They Got Separated
It was a full moon on the night before the three got separated for good. The Native American Chief’s wife asked “tell me it's not true Dakota…say it's just a story that everybody is talking about”, as they both sat round the campfire waiting for some news from one of the observers or Fred. They both stared into the fire; they could see the three triplets playing in the orphanage in the department, knowing that the three of them would soon forget each other.

Time Immemorial
Welcome back! As the last article stated we would be basically be reviewing and providing perspective while applying common sense in chronological order to these vast ancient texts spanning over the various types of ancient Cuneiform as well as Egyptian Hieroglyphics, which reveal in great detail not only our origins but obvious forms of advanced technology, and when I say advanced, I don't mean outrageously advanced such as teleportation, but rather think about the whole Steampunk aesthetic with a digital edge, combined with classical Greek attire and a preordained contract with royal customs, these guys go hard in the paint when it comes to tradition! So anyways, here's how it goes, I start with a date, provide an overview of the events according to their history and numerics, which ultimately perfectly time up with things like the archeological record and our own timeline of modern events, then a review of those events individually with a common sense perspective of my own, keep in mind that everything is up for interpretation, here goes!

Review of Westworld 1.8
Much revealed in this excellent episode 1.8 of Westworld. Probably the most important: there are two kinds of programs afoot in Westworld, two kinds of stories (or two kinds of kinds of stories, to be more precise): Ford's and Arnold's. Ford's we pretty much know—though not the new story he keeps talking about—and Arnold's not much or any of it at all.
