It's similar to the same googily eyed look I get when I say I hate the goonies. Oh don't say that to an 18 year old, especially don't bring up that he wasn't even alive when the movie came out.
let's just say if the movie was made between 1981 and 1988 or 89 there is a 99% chance I don't like it, or probably won't like it. Only very few exceptions, and even then those exceptions stand as "eh, as a kid I thought they were cute... but I refuse to watch them so as not to destroy any nostalgia".
This actually comes from a few weeks ago where me girlfriend and I downloaded some movies from our childhoods, most of which were produced in the 80's, and they promptly destroyed so many memories.
Speaking of... not an 80's film but still... who has seen the trailers for "Avatar" and thought to themselves, "Hey where's Robin Williams playing a crazed bat who had tests done on him?"

I was more thinking "James Cameron... what happened?".
Did anybody else see that apparently he's also directing an adaptation of Battle Angel? I don't even know what's going on anymore.

I'm too lazy to go check, but I'm going to assume that there's not anything happening with that and you just happened to read some very old news. He's been sitting on Gunnm for years.
