Tropic Thunder is SO WRONG. Very funny, but oh my God.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

From Yahoo! News:
'Rocky Horror' does time warp again with remake 30 years on
"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is to be remade over 30 years after the camp classic first hit cinema screens, producers said Wednesday.
The original 1975 film was a horror parody featuring the adventures of a newly engaged couple who find themselves caught up in the bizarre world of Frank-N-Furter, a "sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania."
Based on a British stage show, the film starred Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Richard O'Brien and singer Meat Loaf, featuring songs including "Time Warp" and has grossed some 140 million dollars (94 million euros) in the US alone.
The cast this time round has not yet been decided, but the remake will use the original screenplay and is being revived in a partnership deal for MTV in the US and Sky Movies in Britain, who confirmed the move.
The film's executive producer Lou Adler, who is reprising his role from the original, said: "So here we go again, with a new cast, believing that the Sky and MTV remake will add to the Rocky Horror phenomenon."
Just... why???

I stand corrected - maybe the Suspiria remake isn't the stupidest idea ever.

OTOH, we can have fun doing best and worst case scenario casting...
A dubious pleasure at best, I know, but...Hugh Jackman or Johnny Depp as Frank N. Furter?
Sadly, I doubt it will go THAT way.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Uh, you know who could be Frank N. Furter? Anthony Stewart Head. He's got *exactly* the right voice for it. And -- GUH.
t edit Actually, I'm not sure if my internal stereo is playing me ASH or Tom Jones. But I *definitely* don't want to see Tom Jones as Frank N. Furter.
