Today in Hollywood unoriginality

Movie columnist Jason Guerrasio is not impressed with Hollywood's unoriginality. Here is his review of the latest Star Wars film:

Solo has exciting thrills and lush photography but it's the first Star Wars movie to make me worried about franchise fatigue
Jason Guerrasio, Business Insider, May 15 2018

Solo: A Star Wars Story has some great moments but as a whole is a flawed movie. The third act of the movie has major problems and feels uninspired. Solo shows signs that Disney/Lucasfilm are hitting a point where the beloved Star Wars universe could be headed to a watered-down moment. Is there a need to have a Star Wars movie released every single year, especially with multiple Star Wars series coming to Disney's streaming service in the coming years?

Today in Hollywood unoriginality, the CW network is planning a reboot of the 1998-2006 series Charmed. The three sisters are now Hispanic and one is a lesbian. Shannen Doherty, co-star on the original series, is offended by the description of the new series as "feminist." Fans have started a #StopCharmedReboot hashtag on Twitter. To quote Phoebe Halliwell, "The wrong thing done for the right reason is still the wrong thing."

Movie previews used to be called "trailers" because they were shown after a feature film. They are now shown before the feature film and are called "previews."
