Oh, for fuck's sake

I know I sound like a broken record when I talk about pointless remakes, but a fucking remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still?

Talentless hack Scott Derrickson (of The Exorcism of Emily Rose "fame," but best known in my book for writing Urban Legends 2: The Sucking) will be fucking up this masterpiece. Robert Wise hasn't even been in his grave two years, but I'm hoping he'll find a way out of it to kick some Fox exec's ass.

I was also depressed to learn they are making a movie out of Get Smart.

[yendi]

Yeah, that irks me as well.

I sound like a broken record is a funny phrase, and places you in my age bracket. I bet nobody under 25 ever says that.

(and yes, that sounds like a terrible movie).

I bet nothing stands still in that movie. Ever.

it's just..... wrong.....

Autoboycott. That move was so perfectly made that my daughter understood its deeper message at the age of FOUR.

Oh, lord, no. Just . . . just no.

They already did it badly a couple of times, still, without Don Adams...

I'm waiting for them to screw up "Forbidden Planet".

"I sound like a broken record" is a funny phrase, and places you in my age bracket. I bet nobody under 25 ever says that.

Hehe. I wonder what the new version is?...

"I know I sound like an unbuffered audio stream" perhaps? ;)

[songwind.livejournal.com]

I'm just so tired of tv show and old movie remakes, you know?

[trochee.livejournal.com]

hmm... but the metaphor breaks down -- unlike scratched LPs, unbuffered audio streams don't repeat themselves. though perhaps a new metaphor is born, perhaps referring to momentary lapses in fluency ("sorry, I'm kinda unbuffered right now...").

At least Uwe Boll isn't doing a remake of Casablanca! haha

[eh-notsomuch.livejournal.com]

Don't give him any ideas!

[nishar.livejournal.com]

He won't do a remake of Casablanca... unless they do a Casablanca the video game. haha
