This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The craziest thing is that it's not based on a book. Ths cultural capital of the 90s absolutely baffles me - so many profound but original movies! For a good 7-10 years, Hollywood wasn't Hollywood'ing

And they didn't try to make some stupid sequel, even though it was a big money maker. Amazing!

Yes a sequel would be such a crap idea, but I would love to see the concept explored more in depth. A good ol' TV series would have worked, or a book

The level of risk Hollywood is willing to take on today is very low due to streaming. There is more competition for people's attention and money.

They would rather take an IP that they know is popular than to take a risk on something unknown.
