Lost in Translation

Tabletop RPGs bring together a group on a regular basis to play, to socialize, and to relax.

Reboot: The Guardian Code as it appears in the trailer is what Lost In Translation is trying to highlight as something to avoid.

It’s in the how the change is done that will make the difference to an audience.

The Dresden Files TV series manages to get the tone right, but flubs the details.

Tails of Equestria took My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and presented the setting as a place for players to play in and have fun, much like the cartoon invites audiences to do.

Much like the original cartoon, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle has elements in it for both children and adults.

The story itself would fit with the original TV series. International Rescue remained a rescue service, not a crime fighting unit.

The origin of the police procedural can be traced to one series, Dragnet.

If adaptations ruled the silver screen last year, they dominated this year.

Until audiences are tired of only adaptations, original works will have to find ways of getting into the popular subconscious in new ways.

‘Tis the season for Christmas specials, the time honoured tradition of rerunning classic cartoons and movies for the amusement of the viewing audience.

The Mouse exists to make money and alienating fans is a sure way to not do that.

In 1996, Best Brains, the production company behind MST3K, decided to try a theatrical release.

Over the past few weeks, Lost in Translation has been looking at how to remake some movies featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Manos is infamous on MST3K.

Manhunt in Space is a good example of television trying to jump on the space opera bandwagon.

However, the biggest asset Robot Holocaust had going for it was being made in the Eighties.

Danger!! Death Ray is not a good movie, but it has the potential to be remade as one.

The paradigm, at least for television, may be changing, thanks to season arcs, Netflix, and binge watching.

The only constant is change.
