Knees Up - twopj:

You guys spend a lot of time complaining about sequels and remakes and rehashes and reboots and covers and George Lucas. Firstly I think this comes from a place of nostalgia, which I reject out of hand because now is always better than then. And it's this impossibly glamorized and sensationalized then, which has no bearing on reality. You remember the feelings you felt, not the actual quality of the thing, which makes no sense to us. While we may all meet for a kickball game over the weekend, you're doing it as a return to a golden time, while we're in a place we never left. Nothing gets broken and nothing gets replaced. We don't really have a yearning for childhood because it's always there, accessible. You're so used to dividing things up between then and now, good and bad, childhood freedom and workaday slavery, that you think things can be lost. Or taken away, or misplaced. And to me this is just a part of the collector brain working, this privilege of the physical and analogue over the available and digital.
