And the hits keep on coming from Hollywood. They are continuing to dip into the well of my childhood (or near-childhood, at least) and take things that I remember and sometimes deeply appreciate and mock sad mockeries or interpretations out of them. First up is Carrie. This movie doesn’t come out until 2013, but let’s […]
This one is going to be rather simple. I love board games as a kid. Actually, screw that, I still love board games. Friends and I still get together now and then to play Trivial Pursuit or Scattergories or some kind of game that pairs well with drinking. My two favorite board games are Clue […]
I’m honestly not sure yet where I come down on this trailer. You see, my mom can vouch that I watched an unhealthy amount The Three Stooges when I was a kid. Not sure why I loved it so much, but I did and that’s all that can be said. Didn’t matter that it was […]
I watched the Linda Carter version of Wonder Woman when I was a kid, and have always been amazed that in 30 years no one has been able to figure out how to bring one of the Big Four of the Justice League (Superman, Batman, The Flash and Wonder Woman) to the big or small […]

After all the rumors and the stops and starts, Hollywood has indeed decided to proceed with ripping out the soul of my childhood once again. This time, they are moving ahead with the remake of Footloose. When they couldn’t find a director for the longest time, and when that Disney-fied little bubblegum boy Efron bailed […]
So before I rant about the latest film incarnation to ruin a piece of my childhood, let me celebrate that one film from my younger days remains intact. Seems cooler heads have prevailed and that Zac Efron has pulled out of the Footloose remake. For the time being, one of the best movie montages ever […]
Holy crap, I’m gonna have to start a whole new blog purely dedicated to all the ways Hollywood is screwing around with my childhood in the present day. Previously I’ve discussed the Karate Kid remake, the new Robin Hood movie and even older topics like the GI Joe movie and Transformers. Today’s desecration of my […]
The fun never stops in Hollywood, at least when it comes to killing my childhood. I had heard about this remake awhile back, but somehow thought nothing of it when I never heard further and thought maybe, just maybe, the studio people had figured out that remaking a movie that was a definitive 80s classic […]
