FAIL

Jackie Chan in Karate Kid Remake.

Just... No.

Hollywood, please stop doing remakes. Someone give them an original idea and stop fucking with my child hood classics, plz.

So far, the remakes I've heard of are My Fair Lady, Rocky Horror Picture Show and now this... not counting all the ones that have already graced the film scene. Just... no.

*cries*

You can add: Robocop, Footloose, My Bloody Valentine, Friday the 13th, and like two other 80s film to the 'remake' list. I was just ranting about this the other day to Heather regarding the lack of originality and rape of my freaking childhood with these awful remakes. Grrr!

I love Jackie, but....no. No no no no no no. It's bad enough we're getting Will Smith's kid foisted off on us in basically everything now. He's not a bad actor but there are probably 100000000 other kids who would be just as good. Feh on nepotism.

Oh no. nonononono. MTV is remaking Rocky Horror? (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117989391.html?categoryid=13&cs=1) They'll end up casting all these Teen Pop Actors. And I'm going to have to protest the damned movie. arrrrgh

And I'm just as upset about My Fair Lady! Sure, revive it on stage. But...*sigh* they really are raping our childhoods with all the remakes.

Sarcastic!Frank!Icon is not happy

I read the My Fair Lady bit and my heart just shattered. That's my all time favorite musical. That is wrong on so many levels.

Its not even just our own things that Hollywood is butchering. State of Play is an amazing 6 hour British miniseries, and I mean amazing, and Hollywood is destroying it too. *weep*

hey, we need to get together some time and watch movies or something. I currently have all the time in the world, so if you're free some time, give me a buzz or something. ^_^

Don't forget the new Tron movie, the Smokey and the Bandit remake movie and the idea of a Moonlighting Movie.

Rocky Horror Picture Show?!?!?

I can't even deal.

Gah... Why does Hollywood fail so much?

I can't think of a movie that's come out in a loooong time that hasn't been a rehash of something...

*cries with you*

Ahahaha, oh my God. Also, I had no idea there was a Rocky Horror Picture Show remake! That's... well. Surprising.

I think all I can say is, "No, really . . . WTF?"

By the way... I tried to send you a holiday card, but it came back to me as undeliverable! Apparently your address has changed and I didn't know. Woe!
