"Looking back at the fictional stories that defined the last decade, you might think of things like The Dark Knight, Battlestar Galactica, or failures like Bionic Woman and Speed Racer. Was this the decade we ran out of original ideas?" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

No. We ran out of original ideas 40 or 50 years ago. Every decade is the decade of the reboot. Things are consistently and constantly rehashed. - Curdy G

When you think about it, there are only 3 literary plots. All else is derivative and its all reboot since Shakepere.... - WarLord

We haven't run out of ideas. The problem is that MBAs are the ones making artistic decisions in H'wood. They prefer recycling even half-successful stuff from the past to taking any sort of risk on anything new. There are tons and tons and tons of writers out there. Some of those new writers are writing quality material. It's just not gonna get produced by H'wood. - Spidra Webster
