Nah, I'm a Ford guy, so the fact that they're using a Mustang for a revival of one of the cheesiest shows of all times saddens me deeply.

 

My interest in the G8 is only in the reality--I've been subjected to the fantasy by a bunch of droolers getting all misty over preliminary specs, so I'm interested in seeing how well their fantasy plays out.

As cheesy as Knight Rider was, it was known for the Pontiac. While not as relevant, would a remake of Bullit racing through the streets of SF in a Vette or a GTR be met favorably? Actually, is a remake of Knight Rider at all going to be met favorably? ;)

 

Not sure there was many choices in this day and age of what other cars to use though. Camaro obviously is out since that is permanently connected to Transformers.

A Bullitt remake is coming. The rumor is that Brad Pitt will star.

Steve McQueen has officially rolled over in his grave.

 

Hollywood is truly pathetic. I mean I thought they were pathetic when they started doing remakes of bad movies. But now they are ruining movies that were actually good once upon a time. Then again, I guess they've been doing it for years. King Kong anyone?

The original King Kong is a classic!

Yeah. I went to see King Kong, the remake, and I have to tell you. If I was black/SE Asian, I would've been ticked off by that movie (what was with the giant toothpicks sticking out of everybody?)

 

But I did the whole suspension of disbelief thing.... Even after the gigantic draw bridge, even after the brontosaur stampede, but when Kong and the assorted T-Rexes where slugging it out in a tangle of vines in the midst of an impossibly deep chasm, I totally checked out.

 

Nothing like spending 3 hours of your life watching a movie that can be summed up in 10 seconds:

 

Hollywood people go to an island. Many get killed (hooray), some come back with a huge gorilla which goes berzerk and then falls off the Empire State Building.

 

Let me know if I left out anything important.

 

However, the movie was quite educational. I had no idea Kong was the guy who tore down the 3rd Avenue EL.

I have to say, the guys at Robot Chicken summed up all of my complaints about King Kong:

 

1. If they built the wall to keep Kong out, why build a door large enough for him to get through?

 

2. For that matter, can't Kong just climb over the wall. He's a monkey ain't he?

 

3. Why were they under the assumption there was only ONE Kong? There could have been a whole family of them.

 

Damn, I wish I could find the video. :hysterical:

I kept telling my wife and daughter it wasn't worth seeing but they insisted. I believe I napped through a sizable portion of it. When it was over, they conceded I was right. I reveled in it since I don't hear that very much from them! :happy feet:

Nope, I am a still a virgin. You can't proof nothing hick.

Really, I thought your mom counted? Oh well, I wouldn't know.

 

BTW...have you ever looked at a map? Because I am about as far from the south as I can get. If I was any farther north, I would be a Canadian :runaway:.

 

That's ok though. I am sure the members of the forum that love in the south will continue to enjoy your using the term south to imply stupidity.

Just FYI:

 

Southerners wouldn't care. "Hick" does not refer to someone from the South. It refers to a "country bumpkin". It's a word that describes someone who couldn't tell the difference between a tool shed and an outhouse, whether they're from the South, North, East, or West.

 

OTOH, a Google map of the location under your avatar reveals a spot just outside of Minneapolis. I'd guess the area is more suburb than "hick"sville.

Oh, I realize that.

 

My post was in response to this quote:

 

It's a fact that the negatards (DiCKhead, Vick Hick, PcSario) are a bunch of uneducated people from south USA.
