One of the worst things about being on the older edge of “Millennial” is that at this moment in time, it feels like nearly all media and advertising is geared towards people precisely around my age bracket (since we’re probably at the relative zenith of income and spending that income). The original sucked and I haven’t even thought about it in 25+ years but it’s such an obvious attempt to cash in on people my age’s feelings of nostalgia, which are largely fueled by precarity that everyone would rather think about how cool things were when they were 16 instead of deal with current reality.
They mined my age bracket’s nostalgia too with Star Wars, Star Trek, Hawaii Five-O, SWAT, Total Recall, etc. The list goes on and on. Eventually I decided to ignore it all. When I learned a reboot of Road House was coming out for about 30 seconds I was interested. But then I realized it will be the same all other the other uncreative, branded, formulaic, by-the-numbers dreck created to make money. The only thing in common with the original will likely be the title.
