When talking about different types of intertextuality of our generation the first thing that pops into my mind is SouthPark. The creators of SouthPark make a living off of intertextuality, they take any type of current event going on in the World at the time and they put a comical twist to the issue. For those of you that watch the show, you know that the creators know no bounds, any issue in the media at the time, no matter how controversial it may seem, and I think that's why it has stayed so popular among teen culture, because they can relate to the issue being discussed.
As I think more about intertextuality, I can't help but think that 'Cultural remakes' of movies fall under the same category. And what I mean by this are movies like 'StarTrek' or 'Planet of the Apes' , movies that were okay at the time of their first release but as decades passed and technology improved, we remade these movies with our revamped special effects technology as well as actors and actresses that are popular among the culture at the time.
