A small rant about Hollywood these days . . .
What's with all the remakes??? News came out today that they are remaking the movie 'Highlander'. Now this is a classic and there was nothing wrong with the original - it's not even that old. This is just the latest in a long, very loooonnnggg list of remakes that are being worked on. Some of the other movies that are being remade:
Total Recall
The Neverending Story
The Karate Kid
Romancing the Stone
Footloose
The Dirty Dozen
Clash of the Titans
The Birds (didn't they learn from the Psycho remake not to touch a Hitchcock movie?)
Harvey
Beverly Hills Cop
Nightmare on Elm Street
All of these are fine just the way they are - people love them as much today as they did when they first came out. So why can't we get new stories to fall in love with?
Hollywood - stop thinking with your wallet and start dreaming again . . . if it's good, we will come.

OH man and that means they will get people with the right accents and I won't be able to say
"wuhhai, yoo crooozing for a peeeess of aaaass?"
and
"larts of deeffreeeent plazzess"
along with Connor McLeod :( Hollywood needs a smack.
"McLeod of the Clan McLeod" - Kel you having me chuckling. Lambert's accent is outta control weird.
We are definitely living in a cultural desert. Did you know the 80's are back. i'm like, so we are just going to re-wear every decade one year at a time? What the heck?!
What on Earth is going to happen when we get to the 90s? Because as memory serves, we were just doing the seventies then.
what i hate is part 2 of movies- 'american pie part 2', 'scream part 2', etc- its never as good as the original.
Sequels are rarely as good as the originals - can only think of a handful that are as good as the first one (Temple of Doom comes to mind).
They're going to have to start looking for a French actor who can pretend to be Scottish for this Highlander remake . . .
Here's a nightmare thought - when they get to the 90s they'll have to remake the remakes they made.
I loved the Highlander series, 'cause whenever the Highlander did a flashback to the 1920s or something and had short hair, you could tell they'd just stuffed his pony tail down the neck of his shirt. Hilariously cheesy!
