ReplyDeletethey say it ain't gonna be comedic like the original
DeleteA reboot? Another one? Say it ain't so. Why don't they... get lost?
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd appear as soon as you hear boot... or a reboot
DeleteWhat a hoot!
Deletea kick with the boot
DeleteI loved Lost in Space! I loved Penny~ I named my daughter Angela after Angela Cartwright aka Penny~
ReplyDeleteHow are you Dezzy? I look forward to your Xmas decor-you always bring it~
That is lovely, although I must admit I've never seen the original series, I was probably too young to catch it and it never aired here.
DeleteXmas decor ain't coming any time soon :) Maybe a week ahead of the holiday or something. Glad you are looking forward to it, we've only recently took down our Halloween decor :)
Wait...didn't they just do Lost in Space? No...that was the 90s. I'm feeling old now!
ReplyDeleteYou mean that movie with Tim Allen and Sigourney?
DeleteI'm with Blue. Get lost on the reboots already!
ReplyDeletenot that Tinseltown will hear your cries :)
DeleteMore RIDDICK!!!!!! WOoooooooooooooooo!!!!! I is happy.
ReplyDeleteI love the saga, although I haven't seen the fourth one yet. CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK was my absolute fave, one of the best sf movies ever, so carefully made and with lots of love
DeleteThe love makes the difference.
DeleteSomething tells me Lynda loves Riddick...
Deleteshe does
DeleteYou mean I can actually turn on my TV and see Vin Diesel in all of his glory? Oh you have made me so happy Dezzy!
ReplyDeleteNo, that is not, sadly, what I mean :) I don't think he will star in the series.
DeleteAnother reboot? Well, let's give it a try!
