Gritty reboot is the game where we make fun of Hollywood for remaking everything in a more gritty and 'realistic' way.
Someone picks a family friendly or old movie, tv, book, etc. and the next person has to 'write' the gritty modern Hollywood remake. They can do this either by providing a plot synopsis or a title, or both. Then they pick the next thing to reboot.
Example:
Player 1: The Andy Griffith Show
Player 2: Andy Griffith A Murder in Mayberry The idealic hamlet of Mayberry is turned upside down when one of their own is murdered! Soon the killer takes a second victim and small town sherrif Andy Griffith and Deputy Fife are racing against time to catch a killer and rescue his son Opie.
Player 2: I pick Fantasia.

He grew increasingly childlike in appearance, until one day a knock rang out on the front front door. Three police stepped inside, flashed their badges and a warrant, and arrested Mindy. She was informed of the charges against her the next day - indecency with a minor and a slew of related charges, due largely to Mork's aging resulting in him looking more and more like a child. His pleas for her release fell on deaf ears. Mindy tragically dies in prison, awaiting her day at trial. Mork is filled with rage, yet has only days before the reverse aging takes its final toll. His last words come in the form of a radio transmission to Orson back on Ork: "Kill them all!" Setting up the sequel: Mork and Mindy: Mork's Curseup next: Mr. Bean

The Mysterious Mr. Bean
A conspiracy thriller, in which an underappreciated junior Intelligence Agency analyst discovers that a range of seemingly unrelated 'accidents' appear to be linked by the presence of a single unidentified individual.
Forced to go behind the backs of seemingly apathetic agency bosses to track down this mysterious individual, our protagonist discovers an elaborate false identity and has to resolve how the individual appears to have appeared out of nowhere, almost twenty-five years ago, but as if they had just fallen out of the sky.
Things start to get really dicey for the analyst when the mysterious individual sparks off a chain of events that results in the assignment of a Reliant Regal from the agency motorpool.
Next: The Neverending Story

Oscar was a once-respected journalist who's fallen on hard times and is now temporarily relocated in a trash can. Thanks to his "occasional" imbibing of alcohol, he begins to suspect that his friend, Big Bird, has had his skin removed and replaced with an impostor. He talks to Elmo about it, but Elmo, who has secrets of his own, says that Oscar is crazy and attempts to have him involuntarily commmitted. People begin disappearing near the home of the Count, Snuffleupagus develops an eating disorder, and the police seem to be more concerned with the number of people missing rather than investigating the disappearances. When Oscar is finally committed, he begins to realize that the truth is worse than his worst imaginations.

Next: The Jungle Book Shere Khan has been terrorizing the jungle, leading Baloo the bear to take a drastic step - kidnapping a young boy and hiding him with wolves in hopes that it would fulfill a prophecy made by the great orangutan seer, King Louie. The prophecy declared that a boy taken from man and made a child of the jungle would some day destroy not only Shere Khan but forever save the jungle from the threat of tigers. Unfortunately, Baloo was ambushed by Shere Khan some time after, and only a timely intervention by Bagheera the panther saved him. Fifteen years later, Mowgli found his way out of the jungle and back into human lands. After long years of reintegration he came to lead a great forestry company - fulfilling the prophecy of King Louie that he would end the menace of Shere Khan. Alas, he did so by turning the trees of the jungle into furniture and luxury cabinets. Up next: Ghostbusters
