Genres lose their power when they have not only been parodied, but when those same parodies cease to be amusing, when everything they have that is special fails, when the jokes no longer are seen to be fit for purpose.

Nostalgia isn’t just reminiscing for what is missed, in some cases it is a wistfulness that shouldn’t be touched, it is the catalyst of return, and whether the moment of the resumption of a tale or a friendship meets our expectations, it cannot be denied that it fuels the longing and the melancholy for what was the original first meeting.

It is funny how often you can be suckered into watching a film in which you know is going to give you the most amazing premise but somehow has less chance of delivering upon the promise of good times and stomach aching laughter than a President being so well adored that the American voters would allow them any indiscretion going. They wouldn’t even clamour for their impeachment if they were caught in bed playing an out of tune flute whilst whispering sweet nothings to the Russian Ambassador as they talked of handing back Sarah Palin and the state of Alaska back to Moscow.
