I know this sounds silly, but for me some movies are just downright sacred. When they remake films to update them and make them more hip, it just infuriates me. I don't think anyone in Hollywood in their right minds would think of remaking 'SOM' but sometimes I wonder. They just might.

I mean, not to beat a dead horse here, but 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' was a landmark film for its time. It tackled a very serious subject with drama and humor and starred a wonderful cast. Now how does one take that and think that Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher could do this thing justice? I mean, where was the producer that said, 'Gee, we can't get A list people... the script sucks... maybe we shouldn't be doing this.' Hollywood deserves the bad numbers they have been receiving. You don't put anything into it, you won't get anything in return. I'm beginning to feel that Hollywood is just teeming with rich cronies who don't know what the hell they're doing anymore.

End of rant. For this post at least.
