What’s New Is Old
Mar 9, 2010 Movies
They say everything has a cycle. Every fad, no matter how crazy, goes away and comes back years later. Old movies are re-imagined and remade. Characters die and are reborn. I have a friend who writes stories for comic books. He told me there was no new super power to write about. They had all been used at least once before. Are there no new ideas under the sun?
I still believe there are plenty of new ideas possible. They are just waiting to be given life to. That being said, I do appreciate the good use of an old idea. Some of the fads that I loved years ago will be back and I’ll have a head start on those. Some of those stories, TV shows, and movies I loved as a younger person have and are being revisited, much to my delight. This is what I thought of when I saw the trailer for movie Tron: Legacy. It’s hard to believe that the original movie hit the screens 28 years ago. Man! I feel old.
