Me too - for the following important reasons: 1. Ally Sheedy in the bathtub 2. Ally Sheedy out of the bathtub end of list. (sadly, I tried to find an image of the former and came up empty. Wassupwitdat?)
Bah, if they are going to keep Number 5's look the same then I would much rather that they make a sequel to the original movies. Plenty of ways of reintroducing the character for a new audience, and lots of opportunity for humor with Johnny being outdated technology.
Yeah, it ought to be a sequel. But then again, in the second movie Number Johnny Five had removed his laser gun. At the end of that one he was gold-plated and being sworn in as a citizen.
Don't like reboots? Stop going to see them. Nerd rage always abounds with sequels/reboots, but they always see it anyway.
