<p>Seriously this trend of remaking the best movies of the 80&#8242;s with new shitty actors has to end! I just read that they are trying to remake The Karate Kid, with Jackie Chan and Will Smith&#8217;s son Jaden. Is nothing sacred?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>You know if the first one sucked or our film technology was not on par with the vision of the film, then yeah remaking a movie is perfectly acceptable. Here is an example:</p>
<p>The Hitchhiker&#8217;s Guide to the Galaxy &#8211; That TV series in 81&#8242; the movie in 84&#8242; both had the right story, but the graphics and effects needed for the space scenes&#8230;well it didn&#8217;t exist yet. So when they remade it in 2005 (w/ Mos Def) well it turned out great! Well done!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-568" title="h2g2knittedsequence" src="http://www.derelictafternoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/h2g2knittedsequence.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="160" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">But what the hell is the excuse with The Karate Kid? It was one of the best movies of the 80&#8242;s and I don&#8217;t really see a thing wrong with it. In fact one of the parts I really like is the simplicity of the 80&#8242;s, without all the cell phones and internets of today. If they remake The Karate Kid, that  would be like them trying to remake Ghostbusters! They aren&#8217;t trying to remake Ghostbusters, are they!? <a href="http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/news/article/0,,4812458,00.html" target="_blank">Apparently they are</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Those fucking bastards.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Other awesome movies that they are attempting to turn into lame modern clusterfucks&#8230;</p>
<p>Back to School: Supposedly staring Cedric &#8220;The Entertainer&#8221;. No Rodney, No Downey Jr, No Oingo Boingo!? Fuck that.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Short Circuit: Are you asshats fucking mad? How could you even consider remaking this? Same writers as the first, they just want to utilize new film technology&#8230;but why? Oh to put more fuel in their Yachts.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Weird Science: No word on who they are casting&#8230;but they will surely not be the Gary and Wyatt I know and love. And furthermore, this was made back when computers were considered to be limitless boxes of magic&#8230;times have changed.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are more like Top Gun, Footloose, Fame and pretty much every other movie made in the 80&#8242;s good or bad. I guess this goes to show that the movies are more about making money than doing something you love and entertaining people.</p>

<p><a href="http://weblogs.redeyechicago.com/showpatrol/2008/11/arrested-develo.html" target="_blank">It has been confirmed</a>, they are saying there will be an Arrested Development movie! It was certainly one of the wittiest, creepiest and most awkward shows ever made! I was a big fan of it, and feel that it was canceled way before it&#8217;s time. This was the show that brought us the frozen banana stand, the never-nude and the stair truck as a family car! There have been rumors of a movie for years now, but this one looks like it might actually happen. Oh please Oh please Oh please!</p>
<p> <br />
I leave you with some of the greatest scenes ever shot for television.</p>
