Lately it seems to me that more and more I am seeing sequels... even after many years... referred to as "reboots."  Has anyone else seen this?  Because I find it to be unacceptable.  

Star Wars is NOT a fucking reboot the fucking sequel number is right there in the title.

And I've seen several other examples over the last year that I didn't note and now I can't remember.

I mean, are younger people today seriously confused about the difference between rebooting a franchise, and reviving it with previous canon intact?

This shit needs to stop.  If you see someone refer to SW7 as a reboot, attack them physically.

This just in: people are dumb!  Full story at 11.

EDIT: More realistic response; I find it too hard to blame them given that so much of what Hollywood produces these days actually are reboots.  If we'd do a little bit less cannibalising of nostalgia and make more original properties this mistake probably wouldn't happen as often.

A little physical violence then can be seen as negative reinforcement... bitch slapping them would actually be helping them to learn.

Also, when did Americans start pronouncing "biopic" with the stress on the first syllable?  Growing up that word was always pronounced correctly... suddenly all these fucking millennials come along and start saying it wrong, and they'd probably lie if confronted and claim to be using the british pronunciation.

America used to be great.  We used to build things.

And you know these dumb fuckers probably think the word is just a mashup of "biographical picture" so they pronounce it that way.

Wait, do you say the second one at that link, like bi-opic?  I've never heard that before, my whole like it's been pronounced bio-pic by everyone I've known.  As in BIOgraphic PICture (show).  That makes a lot more sense to me than the other one, which sounds like something related to some sort of cyborg.

You've never heard it pronounced correctly?  Like in that link I linked?  Because that's how we correct midwesterners always said it.

Wait, what?  So you do agree the stress should be on the first syllable (BIo-pic) rather than the second (bi-OPic)?

If so then I completely agree.  I thought you were complaining the other way around.

No it was that I called people dumb fuckers who probably had that reason then literally a minute later you thought that was the reason and I was fucking with you.

If by "millennial bullshit" you mean "the way it's always been pronounced since forever" then I agree.

The "BIohpic" pronunciation has some sense to it for the reason previously stated.  Can you give a sensible reason why "biAWpic" is better?

Because that's how we correct midwesterners always said it.

Ohio ain't midwest, not way over there near the eastern seaboard.  I'd accept the term mideast.

It ain't 1800 anymore.  That's clearly "mid", not "midwest".

Not that it really matters, it's all just yankees anyway.

I'll concede the 'yankees' part.

But in NW ohio I may be farther from a body of salt water than either you or Malcolm are.
