Great point.
Skynet 1 reacts.
We don’t know why Skynet 2 did what it did.
But Skynet 3-5 nuked humanity proactively.
Also, I like to think the Matrix movies take place in a world where Skynet was not defeated.

The ip's creator is a huge piece of shit.
Here's his essay predicting Obama would attempt a coup using an "army" of unemployed black men:

None of his stories are worth retelling. edit: No one in Hollywood is dumb enough to fund a remake.

WOPR doesn't learn to hate humanity.
It is an anti-Skynet.

I would love to have seen a 75-90 minute movie about Carl Lumbly's character squaring off against the Winter soldier in Korea.

This shot was included with the Great train robbery (1903):

It was not connected with the film’s narrative and was generally shown after the main film had concluded.
It is the inspiration for this shot (and many others):

which was show at the end of Goodfellas.

Many directors remake their own successful work.
Many directors remake other director's unsuccessful work.
But it seems unusual for Hollywood to give directors money to remake their own unsuccessful work.

I wasn't sure that it was, but then I started writing it out and realized that with the forest, the animals, and Irontown gone - there's nothing preventing the samurai mob from taking the iron.

>Billy Eichner
The academy awards certain kinds of films that contribute to certain kinds of movie going experiences.
Eichner’s on-screen persona doesn’t align with the kind of film the academy awards and his interactions with the press over the film’s failure definitely didn’t contribute to the kind of movie going experience the academy awards.

It isn’t a myth.
>Wikipedia
If you read a something like this on Wikipedia:
>Most lost films are from the silent film and early talkie era, from about 1894 to 1930.[7] Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation estimates that more than 90% of American films made before 1929 are lost,[8] and the Library of Congress estimates that 75% of all silent films are lost forever.[9]
You can click on links embedded in in the citations, which will take you to articles like these:
https://www.film-foundation.org/columbus-dispatch
which play out the Wiki’s claims.
>there is actually should be a guy
Here is the basic idea: a film historian named David Pierce looked up old film studio release schedules and catalogued and decided that 10,919 films were released before 1929. Pierce was only able to find ~1500 of these films in their original format. He was able to find non-original copies of another ~1200 films.
This feature article about the US Library of Congress’ efforts to digitized film gives some frustrating reasons for why those movies were lost:
