If Hitch Weren't So Fat, He'd Roll Over in His Grave

When will it stop!

Must EVERY FRELLING MOVIE EVER MADE be Remade??!?

Naomi Watts has been signed to star as Tippi Hedron in the remake of The Birds.

THE BIRDS!!

Frelling Holy Jeebus in a Cup! I can't stand it any more!

And mark my words, this will not be a psychological thriller with the mystery of why Tippi's character and her mild psychoses are intimiately connected with birds gone murderously crazy ... but rather will be a monster movie of horrific bird attacks with no basis in anything other than special effects, gore, and shocks.

Why must they remake / redo all his moves I can sort of understand making a new movie based on a classic with modern stuff and major changes... but why call it the same thing?

With any luck, Laura San Giacomo will play Suzanne Pleshette's character.

Kevy Baby · 10-20-2007, 02:57 PM

With any luck, I will get to have sex with Nicole Kidman

(This has nothing to do with this thread; I was just thinking it)

Kenneth Branagh was on Craig Ferguson last night (promoting the new Sleuth) and when asked about remakes he commented how he doesn't really have a problem with them, after all he is about to do his sixth production of Hamlet.

Which I agree with. I don't really have a problem with remakes, just bad ones. Since the first Birds isn't all that good when done by a master I don't really have any hopes for a remake unless it goes in a significantly different direction.

Of course, I just watched part of Mogambo which not only was a remake of Red Dust from 20 years earlier but the second remake of it done.

AMC is going to be showing the Birds tonight... At least i know its on at 8 est 7 central.

The original Sleuth film remains an all-time favorite. I saw it in the theatres with my parents when I was 10. Oddly, that same year they would not allow me to see The Poseidon Adventure. They did, however, take me to Cabaret. I will certainly see the remake.

Re the remake of The Birds: I smell global warming.

And now: a tasteless remark:

Kevy: would you settle for sex with Suzanne Pleshette? She's available and all patched up.

Humm would you say:

If Hitch Weren't So Gay, He'd Roll Over in His Grave

If Hitch Weren't So Catholic, He'd Roll Over in His Grave

If Hitch Weren't So Short, He'd Roll Over in His Grave

If Hitch Weren't So Jewish, He'd Roll Over in His Grave

No, probably not. I guess it's just ok to ridicule as long as you are not in that specific group.

If I weren't so fat I'd roll over in my grave.

Oh, wait, I'm not dead yet.

If my dog wasn't dead he'd roll over in his grave, as well. That was his best trick.
