GMHollywood!!!

We all know that Hollywood is out of ideas. Has been for years. From celebrated rip-off artist Quentin Tarantino to an endless parade of re-makes (most recently Clash of the Titans) Tinseltown proves time and time again what a giant toilet bowl it is!

I'm sure some of you have pondered what it would be like to have some of your favourites from the past "re-invented" by the brilliant minds of that Southern-Californian hotbed of creativity. I have a couple of movies that are just begging to be "updated". How about you?

Charley Varrick (1973): Originally starring Walter Matthau. Nothing says "fresh" like replacing the white star of the original with a black guy (Kojak). Besides, ole Walt already has his successor picked out (drum roll) Denzel!!! (Pelham 1-2-3).

Gymkata (1985): This could be a big payday for Jason Statham (and John Woo)!!!

A-Team and Karate Kid have me quite intrigued. How about you SSF?

Palme D'Ors both!

An updated version of Labyrinth, but this time without the queer girly-looking David Bowie?

+1.

Jennifer Connelly can still be n it. Sans shirt of course, but it's still pretty innocent...right?

I have been thinking someone (me) needs to do an Abbot and Costello remake (or a new adventure) starring Vince Vaughn and Jack Black.

How about a movie about 4 guys that try to start up a hockey forum, eventually lose one guy and are down to just 3 founding members.

You could have a character that personifies sarcasm, a character that loves emoticons and changing his handle, a character that can't stop making polls, you could even have a few characters that drive people nuts.

Heck this story practically writes itself.

The producers want her to repeat her scene from Career Opportunities where she rides the coin-operated horse. But the green light has been given for shirtlessness!!!

Deal.

Forgive me for being rude, but if we're gonna re-film the coin operated horsie, perhaps a lady actor who has big yum-yums would be beneficial?
