'Underneath'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
So they're remaking Footloose. I bet they don't come back to Utah. For one thing, the mill they used is now smack dab in the middle of a strip mall, and the small town of Lehi has been suburbanized like whoa.
Still, it feels like a snub. I wonder if they'll recreate Hubby's role of Man Sleeping in Council Meeting/Man Sleeping in Church.

I bet they will, except they'll re-envision the character as "edgier."
I think the remake thing is getting out of hand, lately.

Hubby can do edgier. He has axes.
edit: The scene: Church, during the sermon. Camera pans to man sleeping in congregation. Wife reaches over to shake him awake. Man wakes up swinging an axe because he doesn't wake up easily. Bloodbath in church.
Audience approval of new Footloose through the roof.

Hasn't it been out of hand for the last few years, really?
But it really is getting out of hand. They're remaking—excuse me, rebooting—Cliffhanger. CLIFFHANGER. Look, I love that movie, but there's no reason to "remake" it. It was Die Hard on a mountain. Just rip it off and call your movie something else if you're that intent on making one. Isn't that cheaper than getting the rights or whatever?
::sets off to write Die Hard in a Die Hard Movie Convention::
You know, I don't think the new Holmes movie can be any worse for the canon than Young Sherlock Holmes or a number of other movie variations we've seen in the past.

I bet the producers said, "But won't everyone just say 'It's just a remake of Cliffhanger'?"
"I know! We'll just call it Cliffhanger!"
"Brilliant!"
He had a little help there.
It's not the only movie he had looked younger in. That's just the one where deaging him was the point. Not everyone washes out without looking like the lens is coated in vaseline.

Young Sherlock Holmes was awesome!
