They rebooted Child's Play. Sure, why not.

Child's Play Review

This movie is certainly an era-appropriate reboot. By using the spooky scary dangers of tech, Chucky gets reimagined as a smart doll gone awry, in a hilariously lazy way. Remember that Simpsons episode with the Krusty doll, which in itself is a parody of the original Child's Play? They do that, but sincerely!

The setups and gore are serviceable, riding the exact line between grossly explicit and humorously suggestive. You even get to root against a few people, because they're dick cheese. Chucky's words, not mine. This reboot doesn't touch the authentic creepiness of the original, but the digital version will do just fine. You could watch this.

Yes, though it's one of his most unremarkable roles. The voice could be anyone. Aubrey Plaza is pretty good in it though.

Netflix also added the one before that, "Cult of Chucky," so I've added that to my list. The Matrix reboot is also coming soon. Heard good things.

Yeah, I figured that would be the case...

The Matrix is apparently divisive but has interesting ideas. But it was clearly rushed and forced into production by Warner Bros, so of course it has flaws. All I know about it beyond that was the neat teaser website that had an interesting gimmick. Not sure if it still works anymore though...

Yeah, I can't get that one Matrix thing to work. If you never saw it, basically it was a site where you got a different teaser based on which pill you clicked/tapped on. And then Not-Agent Smith or Not-Morpheus would give a little speech over some footage, mentioning the approximate time of the day that you would've accessed said site.

A neat, potentially expensive flex. A fun gag, I guess.
