Why in the hell are they remaking "Fun with Dick and Jane"?

[sasquatch]

:banghead:

[edbermac]

1. And Yours, Mine and Ours? Looks like a stinker...

[sasquatch]

2. I guess we've officially ran out of ideas

[LostinVA]

18. I was shocked by that -- I LOVE the original!!!

[peekaloo]

3. It promotes "couples togetherness"?

Can't pay the bills, go rob a bank.

:shrug:

[Wapsie B]

4. I don't know how long the average Hollywood writing career is

but they need some new blood in their ranks. Seems like after so long creativity goes out the window, substituted with some pre-packaged formula.

[sasquatch]

8. I think they need to shitcan a couple of Beancounters

And start hiring some Hunter S. Thompson type writers, at the very least we would get some interesting movies.

[Wapsie B]

9. Yes axe a couple beancounters.

I could make a movie about that. Accountants having to do an honest day's work instead of cooking the books.

[Wapsie B]

12. Appologies to WCGreen

and any other Accountants in the audience.

[WCGreen]

13. I agree that there is way to much consideration

for the easy buck...

But if Hollywood didn't make all the crap, then the good ones would not and could not be made...

People who like this crap need entertainment...

[ThatsMyBarack]

5. Guess what else??

After the rehash of Cheaper by the Dozen, they have the nerve to come up with a flippin' sequel!

It's called Cheaper by the Dozen 2. Hot dog! :sarcasm:

:mad:

[XemaSab]

15. I know

and there's a fictionalized biography that the original was ostensibly based on, and the book has a sequel, but are they using the sequel to the book for the sequel to the movie? no....

[underpants]

6. They are fresh out of Flintstones ideas

HAve they done the Jetsons yet?

[Shell Beau]

7. I am waiting for Tom and Jerry myself!

[Deja Q]

10. Because porn sells more than stupid 1950s family flicks?

:shrug:

[swag]

11. Sounds like a deal that was consummated in the lavatory of the

cafe at the Hotel Standard.

[kwassa]

14. Because they can?

The original was weak enough that they might accidentally improve it.

[sasquatch]

22. I liked the original though

[Democrats_win]

16. How bout that terrorist angle in the Poseidon Adventure on NBC?

Turned it off quick. This is the new Political Correctness, the original partly blamed the new owners of the SS Poseidon for the disaster. Capitalists are never to blame anymore.

what´s next Towering Inferno? Instead of a guy cutting corners, we have terrorists....oh, we really did that one. And they combined it with Airport.

Earthquake, a natural disaster strikes a city, but it´s the terrorists fault...we did that too with Katrina, the terrorists made bush take resources away from NO.

So now our movies are reality and our reality is TV.

well, the Poseidon Adventure has one thing right, the world is upside down again.

[Deja Q]

17. Don't worry, they'll do "The Shaggy Dog" next... starring a *-lovin'

Tim Allen... you know, the loveable drug dealer from 1980! :D

[sasquatch]

23. Hey, he bought a lot of cocaine from him in the 80's

You have to be loyal to your customers:D

[Taverner]

19. Not only that, they're remaking Night of the Living Dead...AGAIN

and get this, in 3-D :eyes:

[Hand]

20. Insh'Allah... nt

[mondo joe]

21. I'm waiting for COUSIN OLIVER, THE MOVIE

[sasquatch]

24. Yeah, let's scar some other child for life

[edbermac]

25. Just checked Rotten Tomatoes; YM&O getting savage reviews.

Ringing up a whopping 11% favorable rating...3 plus and 24 negative...

26. I loved that movie

Saw it at the theater when I was in grade school.Its fitting considering the economy but its also sad that Hollywood has to resort to recycling screenplays because they are worried about taking a chance on a story that hasnt been told a million times in the same way.
