Movie News & Miscellany

Because it was a favorite of childhood and if we never remake it, we can all quietly forget about the brownface in the sequel.
You just completely destroyed a childhood memory, holy shit. I had no idea until you said something. I even had to go look it up.

Ugh.
 
I wonder why Short Circuit hasn't gotten a reboot.
Probably because of Short Circuit 2, because while the first one was silly, there was still the serious question in there about "What would happen if a weapon discovered it had been created to kill?" The second movie was more about the silly, less about the dilemma.
It was the same guy as in the first movie, wasn't it?
Yeah, I assume because they couldn't get Guttenberg to sign back on.

I do wish they had some more of the cut scenes. One of the playing cards I have is Det. Frank sitting in a booth with a wtf look on his as he overhears Castigear and Connor talking about old times.
Why, yes, I'm a Highlander fanatic. Wore the vhs tape out while I at the DLI at the Presidio of SF.
 
Look, there have aleady been several truly abyssmal Highlander movies that have tried to have some semblance of continuity. I say let them try ... it can't possibly be worse than Highlander 2: The Shittening.
 
And in the article it mentions Ryan Reynolds was interested at one point. I couldn't see him as The Highlander, Ramirez maaaaybe, but he would've have made a great Castigear or Fitzcairne type character.

Raven was pure trash, so fuck no.
Yes is the stuff that needed to go. As in ignore them.
 
Would it kill them to cast an actual Scot in the title roll time around? I mean, Henry Cavill's pretty and all, and has some Scottish ancestry on his mom's side, but gimme a real Scot. It's not like there's a shortage of them in acting.
 
I played around with a meme generator thing to create this. I'm surprised more people don't talk about this.

On a related noted, I also realized that Universal Studios owns both the Fast & the Furious franchise AND Back to the Future. So they have all the rights they need to have Dom steal the DeLorean and do time travel adventures in it. It'll never happen, but it's funny that I just realized this.

 
Well, I didn't have a lot of hope for the D&D movie till I saw most of the cast line-up and especially who's writing/directing. That little boy from Geeks & Freeks dun gud.

 
I am really really really really REALLY hoping that the Powerpuff Girls pilot gotta re-doing because it just not working instead of...because the leaked script was ACTUALLY true. Just...just SO bad.

I didn't see the script, but I saw an article where the CW said it was "too campy", and honestly, the only way I can see this working at all is if it's full on Batman '66 levels of camp.

Are you talking about the one where they say stuff like "it's time to moveon.org" because that was pretty clearly a joke.

Based on what I’ve seen, the CW should have said it was too cheesy, not campy. Something that is campy is also in on the joke. The few bits I’ve heard or seen about the pilot had bad writing and cheesy characterizations, but it was obviously taking itself seriously.

Yeah, the show's best character was a monkey who gave speeches in the third person. That's really not going to work. This could be amazing if they just lean way into being in on the joke, especially on the CW, where everything is a soap opera. To make a self-aware parody of their bread and butter? That would be epic.

Of course they won't, but a boy can dream.
