Yep, action flick Ckliffhnager is getting a reboot from the man himself, Sylvester Stallone.

I wish people would stop using the word "reboot" when they actually mean sequel, or remake, or adaptation. Words have meanings.
I took a girl on a date to see Cliffehanger in 1993. Turned out she wasn't a fan of heights: it didn't work out.
Anyway, I can't believe anyone is desperate to remake this, it sucks.

Yes you are right; reading the article is says "continuing the story". So it's a sequel not a reboot.
Either way, can't say I'm that bothered.
At best I'll possibly watch it on whatever streaming service it turns up on, in a few years, when looking for something to watch with the family. But I won't be going to the cinema for this one.

Imagine the fun we could have with words, though.
- Requel: a remake of a sequel (they'll be using this when they remake The Last Jedi)
- Preboot: a reimagining of a prequel (they'll be using this for a Phantom Menace reboot)
- Bootcon: a convention for fans of Doctor Martens.
You have to admire Sly's penchant for slapping on a bit of pancake and beard dye and just continuing pretty much any franchise from decades ago.
Who knows
what he'll get up to next, Danny Cannon fans.

As did I, coincidentally.
I recall that I wore a lemon coloured t-shirt under a sleeveless denim shirt - as was the fashion in Summer Bay at the time.
Struck out hard on 1st base.
Anyway, I'm just here to bemoan the fact that this thread turned out not to be news regarding some new 90's style comics from Madureira, Campbell and Ramos.

Never having played or watched baseball but recognising that it is a baseball metaphor - was that good or bad (for you)?
As someone who is wearing a sleeveless denim right now, I think your date showed a lack of taste there Link.

Let's just say I was a few steps lower than Artie Ziff on the fashion scale as a teenager - around where Barrington is now, in his 40's.
