I have an idea. Stay with me on this one....
We start a film company that strictly is in the business of remakes. And I don't care if it's a film from five days ago, five years ago, or fifty years ago. Just churn out remake after remake. Apparently, that's all Hollywood has any interest in (and feels it's all the viewing public can handle) anyway so shit, quit all this preposterous grandstanding by trying to be "creative" and let's, as 10,000 Maniacs used to say, "give 'em what they want."
Where to start? Let's see. I say our slate should begin with a few Michael Bay style entries so we'll do Armageddon and Transformers. They'll be the same, mind you, but different... dig? Then, it's off to raid the classics... Double Indemnity with Reese Witherspoon...oooh, spot on! Okay, let's retool The Invisible Man but give it a Matrix-y Wachowski Brothers spin... hot damn, I'm on a roll!
*pant pant*
Okay, done venting.
Thanks Scott. If not for your blog, I may start kicking my dog and he's a chihuahua... very delicate...
