After reading in
donna_c_punk Journal, I am going to rant here for a second. I HATE REMAKES!
Okay Hollywood listen up stop remaking 80's movies, good god. Are you that pathetic you need to remake movies that are a little over 20 years old. Did we already run out of ideas, you have to remake good quality classics into cheesy pop drivel?
I am talking about Footloose and Red Dawn, I'm sorry but those were two good quality classics, that should stay dead. Leave them in the 80's...
The original movies had all star casts, that most went on to bigger and better things.
Footloose- Kevin Bacon, Diane Weist (one of my favorite actress) John Lithgow, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lori Singer, Chris Penn..
Remake Cast so far- Chace Crawford- As Ren McCormack, yeah that's gonna go well. Not much better when Zac Efron was originally going to get the part, but dropped out. So we go from bad to worse and some chick from Dancing with the Stars Julianne Hough as if she can act.
Red Dawn- Patrick Swayze, C.Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey, Charlie Sheen, Harry Dean Stanton. Most of these guys went onto better things, notice I said most, because well where has Tommy Howell Been LOL
Red Dawn Remake- Josh Peck, Chris Hemsworth, Adrianne Palicki (nothing against Adrianne Palicki at all, I liked her in FNL and Supernatural) Besides they are changing the premise a bit to fit modern day. I don't like that.
Then you have the CW with 90210 and Melrose place both remakes, that suck beyond sucking. Well 90210 is just plain crap...
What's next a Buffy Remake for TV? Oh wait they are kinda doing that with Vampire Diaries.
I won't pay to go see these movies, I want to remember my 80's classic's.. I want to remember the quality that came from the 80's not the crap, they are going to be now. Hollywood if you ever fucking touch any John Hughes film, the Goonies or Stand By Me, I will come down there and kick your asses. LAY OFF MY 80's MOVIES!
In fact lay off all remakes, go back to being original you are writers right? get to back to being creative, stop remaking older crap thinking people won't remember.
Hollywood is run by FUCKTARDS!
I hope Footloose, Red Dawn, GI Joe all BOMB!
I don't see them remaking Alfred Hitchcock movies? Oh wait, that's because they can't turn them into cheesy movies.
