That certainly shines a light on the quality of Superman as a character.

Not sure how I feel about a Naked Gun remake, honestly. Leslie Nielsen just killed it in that role, so it's hard to follow up.‘Naked Gun’ Remake, Starring Liam Neeson, Set for July 15, 2025 by Paramount; ‘TMNT’ and ‘Paw Patrol’ Sequels Dated for 2026
Them going with an actor whose name is closest to "Leslie Nielsen" instead of one known for his comedic ability doesn't fill you with optimism?Not sure how I feel about a Naked Gun remake, honestly.

To be fair, Leslie probably wasn't considered a comedic actor before police squad/airplane? I remember watching him as swamp fox when I was a kidI just can't picture Lian Neeson in that role. I'll wait and see, though.

Source of the post Naked Gun is amongst the funniest movies ever made. This is a terrible idea.

Maybe you just don't like the word sacred?Source of the post do we need/want another Naked Gun? absolutely not but that won’t stop creatively bankrupt execs
I'm aware but that doesn't equate to how Nielsen is viewed now. I also don't see Neeson making the same transformation.Them going with an actor whose name is closest to "Leslie Nielsen" instead of one known for his comedic ability doesn't fill you with optimism?Not sure how I feel about a Naked Gun remake, honestly.

Leslie Nielsen played primarily dramatic roles up until he was cast in Airplane
I agree with that. maybe it's time for a new generation to get in on spoof movies? When's the last one that worked? I hated the scary movie phase, they sacrificed smarts to hit the audience over their heads saying, see this is funny. That's what I fear about a new naked gunNeeson was very funny in Life's Too Short. This casting is much more interesting to me than if they just cast someone known for comedic roles.
Well, I wouldn't consider Alien 3 a reboot at all. I guess The Force Awakens could fall in that category but I actually like The Force Awakens. You're talking about The Last Jedi, which is no longer a reboot. I understand not liking a story turn in sequels but yeah, I guess I don't really get why it would hurt your enjoyment of the films that precede it. I can still enjoy watching The Matrix even though every Matrix film that came after it was a train wreck. I'm probably weird, though. I can also rewatch Game of Thrones and love the first 6 seasons despite knowing what happens in the last 2.and maybe you’re good at compartmentalizing new chapter of existing IP but Alien 3 and the Star Wars sequels are a great example of how new stories can negatively affect old ones. Like Newt dying off screen at the beginning of Alien 3, while not front and center when watching Aliens, is definitely something in the back of my mind that I don’t like. Same thing with Luke’s arc in the sequel Star Wars
What Naked Gun is to you, Loaded Weapon is to me. Countless viewings, and it still enters the queue now at least once a year if not more.. Give me naked guns, loaded weapon, hot shots, and top secret any day of the week.

First thing that came to mind too...he did deadpan comedy really well in that appearance. I love Naked Gun but I would invite more movies in that vein.
