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.

Well, it helped to be the same age as the characters in the movie, aspiring to similar levels of insufferable smartassitude as him. :)

I'm sure that this plays into the reasons for the remake-- Ferris was made before the current crop of teenagers were even born, so I'm guessing it's about as relevant to them as I would find... I don't know, Gidget? :) I still find the remake idea as offensive as Data does. So when will the new version of The Graduate come out, starring Ashton Kutcher? :)

Shhhhh! Don't say that so loud. Someone might hear it and say "Hey, what a good idea!"

Ashton Kutcher...

No. Just no...

And what would you change "plastics" to?
