Don’t you just take the past and put it in a room in the basement and lock the door and never go in there? That’s what I do.

Where are all the nice, friendly reboots?

Where are all the nice, friendly reboots?:
hellotailor:

By insisting on an adult rating, Tarantino confirms that his Star Trek will be a gritty reboot. This already sounds like a bad idea, because Tarantino’s brand of sex and violence is fundamentally unsuited to Star Trek. It’s also a textbook example of a depressing Hollywood trend:

J.J. Abrams already did this to Star Trek in 2009. While Abrams’ Star Trek is a fun blockbuster, it misunderstands the Original Series cast and what they stood for. His version of Kirk is an arrogant frat boy who treats women like crap and forms an antagonistic rivalry with Spock. He’s also motivated by daddy issues, an overused theme among male filmmakers.

If you watch the 1960s show, you’ll understand the difference. William Shatner‘s Kirk is a charming romantic lead, a thoughtful leader, and kind of a bookworm.

Toxic masculinity is a formative theme in gritty reboots. Zack Snyder did something similar with Batman v Superman, and Guy Ritchie is the king of this phenomenon. He rebooted King Arthur (a romance!) as a macho gangster story, and Sherlock Holmes as an action movie peppered with no-homo humor.

But what about non-gritty reboots? What would they look like?

“The culture at that time was trying to deny that homosexuality even existed, and here they had well known Hollywood players involved in it, so they didn’t want to see what was there. […] What is extraordinary about [Rope] is its treatment of homosexuality. I mean today it still is one of the most sophisticated movies ever made on that subject; probably treats them more as people than anybody else has. Hitchcock certainly knew that, and it certainly attracted him. And what he liked was not that they were homosexual, but that they were homosexual murderers. If they were just murderers he wouldn’t have been interested, if they were just homosexual he wouldn’t have been interested. You had to have another little twist to it…”

— as told by Arthur Laurents, the screenwriter of Rope, a 1948 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, adapted from a 1929 play based on a real murder case. Arthur Laurents, both of the actors portraying the couple (John Dall and Farley Granger), and the composer of the featured piano score were all known to be gay in real life (though it’s said that Granger resented the gay label, and he officially came out as bisexual towards the end of his life). The character played by Jimmy Stewart in Rope was also gay, but the final version of the script was so subtle due to censorship that Laurents was unsure if Stewart ever realized he was playing a gay character.

Oh, Dee. It looks like we both need things from each other. I am not having sex with you, Charlie. No. It’s not sex I want from you. It’s sex I don’t want from Dennis.
