no one should touch The Crow. it's sacred.
Is there any hope that everyone with Goth sensibilities or friends with same will pass on the movie, and it'll tank?
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

“Not dead yet!”
aaaaaaaaaaaand MTV is confirming Chris Weitz is considering that Copon douche for Jacob. so much hate for the movie world right now.
He definitely had that look of "My teen hottitude, let me shows you it."
Meh.
Good thing I'm not invested in the series. I can just settle in with popcorn and watch the drama.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm catching up on my Fringe and one of the eps has wall-to-wall "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" trailers, all of them different (I'm watching legally on Hulu, for shame!). Not only it is a relief from the wall-to-wall Monostat 7 commercials, but they make me more and more excited about seeing it. The latest one was done in music video style, which was tres cool. "My body is a cage" or somesuch.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

SO MUCH wrong with that Crow remake idea, I can't even begin. I'm afeared to hear about his ideas on casting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The original Crow might not have been perfect, but it was right, and you shouldn't mess with right.

The original Crow might not have been perfect, but it was right, and you shouldn't mess with right.
And we have no idea if some of that "not perfect" might have been circumstantial. Yet another reason not to mess with it.

Well, the story gets stupid, because they tried to give it a plot with suspense when it's really a horror movie where you're rooting for the monster. But I love the movie despite the third act, and it's got one of my go-to scenes for when I want to get cathartic chills.
I mean, if someone said, "I think that the original was not goth enough! It needs MORE GOTH," that would at least intrigue me. Saying you're going to do a "realistic" take on that particular story... That just tells me that Franchise Rebooting has become a genre of its own.
