How to get rich quick in Nashville

Klaatu barada nikto - Oh no, not again!

The Day the Earth Stood Still Being Remade!

Fox confirmed with us that this is true and the date is correct, meaning a The Day the Earth Stood Still remake is definitely underway for summer 2008!

What are these people thinking? It looks like yet another SciFi masterpiece is going to get turned inside, chewed up and swallowed and puked out on movies screens across the country. I just don’t get it. Leave the classics alone and think up something new. How hard is that.

In my job, I have to write documentation for the projects I work on. If I just took the same documentation from past projects, changed the name and somehow decreased the value of them, I would get fired. How is it that these Hollywood producers that do the same thing with these great old movies and TV shows keep their jobs????

    I would never have guessed that someone would try to remake that film. What a bad idea. How do you top such a strong movie?

    Dude, I’m afraid I’m gonna have to ask you to leave the blog….

    Just kidding. I guess that’s better than think they’re remaking the Jabba’s palace scene from Return of the Jedi….again….

    They should do a remake of Flash Gordon instead. Now that’s a challenge.

    yeah well…..It’s not like they already did a terrible job of that back in the eighties.
