You do remember there were other cops in Robocop?and they wore normal police uniforms.So thats a big no on that theory.
Actually the Robocop normal cops were in some fairly futuristic uniforms for the mid-80's. No cops wore BDU's and Body-Armor back then.
Really? I thought the armor looked a little strange but I still found it some what believable.
.....what movie is that from? I swear I've seen it.Shame Cube (NSFW)
Aaaaaaaaaaaand the memories resurface. I don't know WHERE but I remember seeing this from a glimpse...as a little kid. At my age I thought they were just doing a silly dance or something.
Edit: No wait, wasn't that! Looked it up and this was 2003. But there was some thing of this nature I saw as a kid and it looked weirdly like this.
Doesn't that graphic suggest that people seek out the familiar (sequels and adaptations) rather than new stories? All it shows is that the most popular movies of 2011 were "unoriginal." It doesn't actually show the percentage of original movies versus unoriginal ones. There's an enormous indie film industry out there, and while they aren't as financially successful as mainstream films, they still do well. Instead of blaming the amorphous "Hollywood" we should be blaming moviegoers. Besides, Hollywood is a business just trying to provide the products that people want.
Dude, we get it already. Modern society is comprised of reality show-addicted twits who have the IQ of cabbage (except it's not). Everything pre-2000 was a glorious golden age of creativity and brilliance (even if it wasn't).
Don't act surprised. It's becoming easy to spot the pattern here.
How to post like Gilgamesh:
Step 1: Constantly complain about modern media being dumb and/or unoriginal. For example, make a huge deal about how Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is popular.
Step 2: Wait for people to point out the flaws in your logic.
Step 3: Feign disinterest, post pictures of troll memes and/or people making surprised faces. Act like you can't imagine why anyone would think you have an axe to grind with moder media, or like you're just doing it to troll people.
Step 4: Repeat.

Actually, what it says is "Original Films in 2011: 0", counting adaptations as unoriginals. While most of the examples in 2011 are sequels, not adaptations, the point its making is CLEARLY about original versus unoriginal, not original and adaptation versus sequel. Sequels are just it's biggest example.

Two originals in the top ten so far this year, with Adaptations making up a third of it so far.
You're right, my original picture is wrong, my statement for the year 2011 about Adaptations > Sequels stands correct and 2012 was a much better year for sequels not being all that there was.
Well unless you count your list being 6/10 Sequels.
5 in a list of 10 is 6/10 how?You're right, my original picture is wrong, my statement for the year 2011 about Adaptations > Sequels stands correct and 2012 was a much better year for sequels not being all that there was.

Wait wait, are you counting The Amazing Spider-Man as a sequel? Cause you know, it isn't. It's an adaptation. There are Spider-Man movies already, yes, but it is unconnected. Thor and Captain America, listed as Adaptations in the original image, are actually more accurately sequels than the Amazing Spider-Man is, since they actually take place in the same universe and further the story of The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man.
Also, last I checked, 5 was less than 8, and 2 was more than 0. So yes, it is a better year.
And I thought I was embarrassed when I did a jump split at a pep-rally and ripped my pants (from zipper to belt-loop.)
KITTEN, I AM DISSAPOINT[DOUBLEPOST=1348523874][/DOUBLEPOST]
Shouldn't Amazing Spider-Man be a sequel, I mean if the original counted one of the Bond films as a sequel. Just so the logic is consistent.
My understanding is that even though the Bond films change actors, they are regarded as one continuous series. But The Amazing Spider-Man is no more a sequel to SpiderMan than the Incredible Hulk was a sequel to the Hulk, or Christopher Nolan's Batman was a sequel to Tim Burtons.
