Gotta admit, I'm a little offended...

I'm tired of the remakes...

So, they remade Hairspray. WHY? WHY? WHY? Divine is divine and no one can replace her. Yet John Travolta tries? Bah. My love for plus size positive movies may out weight my choice to skip this.

They made Get Smart the movie. WHY? WHY? WHY? Which is what I was thinking, if I didn't actually say it when I saw the preview. I enjoyed the show when I was a kid. I haven't watched it in years. I may see it, the preview made me laugh.

They are remaking Ferris Buellers Day Off. WHY? WHY? WHY? It's a cult classic. It's not a special effects movie. There is nothing new to be brought to it. I will not see this if it makes it to completion. Much like I refused to see the remake of Miracle on 34th Street.

Hollywood needs to quit spending the money on the drugs and spend it on some writers who do something other then rehash classics.

I will probably see Hairspray out of morbid curiosity, that and seeing John Trovolta in a dress has gotta be good for a few laughs.

One movie remake recently that rawked however...Transformers. Hells yes.

I realize the character is pretty out there in general, but I can't take John seriously in that roll.

And I'm a heathen of my generation, I have no interest in seeing Transformers. :)
