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.

You don't fuck with Ferris.

EXACTLY!!!

The charm of the movie (for those who like it) is the people who played the characters. Seriously. Alan Ruck? Matthew Brodrick? Ben Stein? They are what made the movie. A remake is all out insulting.

Just last weekend, RC and a friend went to go look for Ferris Bueller scenes in Northbrook and other surrounding places. This new movie will never have the charm and innocence that the original one did.

Watch it be filmed in some Naperville-Yuppie-Pretty People town now @.@

Southern California, I'd bet.

That would mean the water tower would have written on it:

"Save Ferris, dude"

Instead of the art museum he 'explores' Ikea along with his friend who's feeling too antisocial to go to school because he's got Aspergers.

What about going to MarineWorld instead of the CBoT?

"Save Ferris, Save the Whales!*
