[Sequoia]

3. Homelame Security Agent?!

Steve G., gross me out.

[LibDemAlways]

4. I saw one of the sets during a tour of

Warner Bros. studios. It was the gorgeous lobby of a modern cruise ship built completely upside down with a big water tank in the floor. It looked amazing.

Wonder if the new version will be as campy as the original.

[edbermac]

5. I'm waiting for a remake of Charles & Diana: A Royal Love Story

With Woody Allen as Prince Charles and Whoopi Goldberg as Princess Diana...and directed by David Lynch...I'm counting the days...

:crazy:

[XemaSab]

6. Who holds back the electric car?

Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?

We do! We do!

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

7. This guy?

[Mutley]

8. HAHAHAA!!!

What is wrong with him?!? :rofl: That outfit is really bad, even for the 80s.

[XemaSab]

9. At least there's no camel toe

We are spared that...

[Mutley]

11. But we're not spared the little bulge!

:puke:

[Bark Bark Bark]

27. Oh, were that MST3K were still around

Crow (panicking): "Mike! His batch!!"
Mike: "I know! I know! Don't look at it!"

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

10. I like that

it looks like he's got a tennis ball in his shorts.

[XemaSab]

12. more like a golf ball

n/t

[Mutley]

14. That's what I was thinking!

Oh man, I'm crying now. :rofl:

[Mutley]

13. Oh. My. God.

You're killing me. :rofl:

[SkipNewarkDE]

15. Good Lord Paul...

That guy's got more package than a UPS truck. What's up with that?

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

33. I always like to caption that photo with:

"Okay, when I say 'Daisy get your tennis ball' watch where she looks first.

[SkipNewarkDE]

38. Heheh.

Your filthy. I like that.

[Deja Q]

16. Isn't that Pauly Shore? Only with a cue ball in mid-pocket?

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Why did they change the story line to make it an act of terrorism???

I rather liked the idea of the giant wave. :shrug:

[ronnykmarshall]

29. When I read that ....

:puke:

I met Shelly Winters a few months ago. She's a hoot!

They are fucking up this movie. Sounds like more fucking PR from Bushie.

[DS1]

18. Eh, see my thread about Blockbuster

dammit

[terrya]

19. They're remaking...Irwin Allen movies.

Just stop and realize how desperately sad that is.

[Robeson]

20. The horror...the horror!

[China_cat]

23. Not as bad as remaking 'The Night Stalker' for tv

Yes, they've actually done it. Starts soon.

[Bark Bark Bark]

39. One Day Soon

...we'll be asking each other things like:

"So...which version of _______ did you like best? 1975, 1992, the 2003 one, one of the last five versions?"

"Last five? Goddammit, it's only 2006!!"

(And regardless of how many fail at the box office--or, in the case of the Hallmark TV Poseidon Adventure, fail in the ratings (C'mon, it's Guttenberg)--they'll just keep coming, because every so often, one will strike big gold. I'm betting this year that's King Kong.)

[Southsideirish]

21. I thought "Sylvia Syms" was dead. Wasn't she the old lady in Beetlejuice

who was smoking and they went to her for help on the "other side."

[China_cat]

24. That was Sylvia Sydney

[Doctor_J]

22. He's still alive?

who knew?

[DS1]

25. He's hired Jan Michael Vincent to be his stunt-double

[no name no slogan]

34. I hope there's room for David Soul in this one

otherwise I fear it will be unwatchable.

[Bark Bark Bark]

26. Twice! Remaking It TWICE!

Without warning, the title of the big-screen remake by Wolfgang ("The Perfect Storm," "Air Force One") Petersen has been changed to simply "Poseidon."

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409182/

Sadly, although the Petersen version keeps the giant wave, I don't see any of the original characters' names in the credit listings--and while the Hallmark/Guttenberg TV-mini version has a couple of the names, those characters have been pathetically altered (the hooker-marrying cop played by Ernest Borgnine in the original is now a counterterrorism expert traveling with his daughter, and is played by a Baldwin Brother).

For convenience, here's the link to the Hallmark/Guttenberg version again:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419358/

And BONUS! Watch the Hallmark/Guttenberg version's trailer! Ewwww!

To quote another awful movie's tagline: "Whoever wins...we lose."

So...remake of "The Swarm," anyone?

[SlavesandBulldozers]

28. that's a good one!

Steve Guttenberg. . Gothic Sponge you crack me up.

[jane_pippin]

30. Steve Guttenberg of "Can't Stop The Music" fame? *gasp*

Now I'm all atwitter.


Can't Stop the Music link-----> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080492/

[Warren Stupidity]

31. Because having an original thought

has become way too risky in Hollywood.

[Robeson]

40. Ding, Ding, Ding, we have a winner....

...Heaven forbid that Hollywood actually comes up with original thoughts and ideas anymore. Watch The Player, and that's modern Hollywood. Sad.

[hyphenate]

32. Does that mean we're also scheduled for a rotten sequel with

Michael Caine and Sally Field? :rofl:

I actually enjoyed the first one with Gene Hackman and Shelley Winters. It was fun.
