I just realized how insidious that one line in the Duck Tales theme song is. "Might solve a mystery, or rewrite history" So if they can't figure poo poo out, they'll just make it up and gaslight everyone?

Isn’t it referring explicitly to time travel? Which honestly might be worse ethically.

It's time travel. Usually accidental. Sometimes on purpose to make claims on a diamond mine

It just means they might make a discovery that “rewrites the history books”. It’s a really common idiom and a regular plot point in boys’ adventure stories you weirdos

I always interpreted it as them potentially making a Jebediah Springfield-esque discovery that changes their understanding of their past.

Is it really rewriting history if they were predestined to time travel in the first place?

Mainly I'm having trouble thinking of a good angle you could approach a Princess Bride remake with. The biggest change the movie makes from the book is the framing device, which really only works because it is the writer, William Goldman, telling you this story about how he tried to find this book for his kid only to find it was more boring than he remembered so he's taken it on himself to do some editing. (And of course Goldman wrote the movie.) Maybe if they continued the metafiction and said this was a further revising of Morganstern's work by the screenwriters- but you'd have to get into some Italo Calvino territory there and I'm not sure that's what anyone has in mind.

I consider Princess Bride to be of the same category as Ghostbusters, i.e. they're lightning in a bottle where you can't just point to one thing and say THAT'S what makes this movie so great. There's fifty different elements that come together to allow it to have stood the test of time and you really don't stand a chance of reproducing that, so you probably shouldn't try.

Yeah, female Ghostbusters ate a lot of poo poo from haters. I happened to like bustin' 1, 2 and 3 to a varying degree. But still holding out hope for Princess the Bridening.

Set it hundreds of years from now and explain away any changes as memory rot/evolution over time and there you go. Breaks can have the audience questioning preposterous stuff/making remarks, maybe even incorporate the audience as characters a la The Wizard of Oz

Could go full meta and have the remake be about Fred Savage making the story he was told into a movie.

None of you even bothered to read the article did you, it's a career retrospective of Norman Lear with like half a line at the very end about how people keep trying to pitch remakes to him.
