More remakes to sour your stomach OR it’s happened before and it will happen again
I recently whined and moaned about the ongoing trend in Hollywood to remake everything thing that comes to mind while complaining about the proposed remake of “The Day The Earth Stood Still”.
Well, I am saddened that three (almost in a row) stories from SciFi Wire are about new plans for remakes. I hate this….
-
Yes, the David Cronenberg classic with exploding heads and Michael Ironside method acting is about to be ruined.
-
Yes, the beloved 60’s cult TV show is about to be ruined.
-
As much as I like the band Duran Duran, I never really liked this one. But many folks did. It was a cult classic just like the other two one this list. For all those people that liked it, it’s about to be ruined.
Please Hollywood! Get a new sense of creativity!
Bonus cool points go to anyone who can cite the reference I made in the post title. It’s one of the few good remakes out there.

Don’t know if you mentioned this before, but there’s a LIVE ACTION “Underdog” movie coming out. Saw the trailer for it on Saturday when I took the kids to see “TMNT”.

HM..That one might be interesting. It all depends on what they plan to do with. It could be that the “Get Smart” movie turns out OK too, it just depends on how “smart” they are. (rim shot please)
