This can be cool if it included all the latino stereotypes. It won't.

>>550

Funny thing is Lopez basically gave himself the part because he and his wife are the producers.

So even though it's going to be a story about young Speedy going to go out into the world, Speedy will sound like a rasping middle-aged dude.

>>556

Something strangely compelling about that.

It's an automatic win if they have Slowpoke Rodriguez in it.

He's lazy, always tired, always hungry, and carries a gun.

>>557

So you realize that he's not going to be in it?

Or if he is, he won't actually be lazy, he'll only be slow because he's such a perfectionist at the skilled labor he performs.

>>563
I miss good old fashioned family racism...

Please tell me uncut looney toons exist on DVD

>>564

Yeah, but you have to sit through Whoopi Goldberg telling you how horribly racist you are for wanting to see them unaltered.

>>565
Wait...seriously?

>>563

Yeah, it'll suck.

>>576

Yes. They have a non-skippable monologue about racism from Whoopi "I'll Be Reenslaved If Republicans Get Elected" Goldberg in front of the DVDs.

>>578

>non-skippable

Time to hit up the torrent sites, then.

>>578

Seriously...? o_o

>>580

Yes goddammit seriously.

>>565

wait what?

forgive a european here - but she's complaining about what exactly?

racism in old cartoons?

good friggin grief...

>>619
From what I gather her giving a speech about "racism being bad" and "how times have changed" was the only way to get these dvds made. There's always a catch

Fuck you, Hollywood. Just. FUCK. YOU.

>>712

>>712

I thought they said a while back that they were too broke in this bad economy to be buying bad scripts...

>>712

>>713

Well. At least they haven't given it to Tim Burton.

... Yet.

>>712

Okay Hollywood, Batman Begins was good at taking a franchise and making the transition to dark and gritty entertaining, but for fucks sake not EVERYTHING needs a grimdark reboot -_-

Coming soon, Rob Zombie presents Goldilocks and the 3 Bears.

Just read the Speedy Gonzales article... Okay, first off, how is Speedy a racist stereotype? Hell, tons of Mexicans LOVE Speedy because he's the OPPOSITE of how Mexicans are usually portrayed!

Second, this is meant to be his backstory of sorts, from when he was a boy apparently, yet he's being voiced by a raspy middle-aged man? I swear, the WTF Casting Agency must be taking over the entire fucking industry!

Fuck, and I thought nothing could ruin the Looney Tunes worse for me after Loonatics...

>>720

It's the supporting cast for Speedy Gonzales.

>>716
what I was saying was, that it's been done before.

Wat.
Return to Oz wasn't dark enough so they have to go and do this? Why not work off that instead? Oh right, that involves a little thing called, originality...

*headdesks so hard it breaks the floor*

>>744
This is simultaneously the most horrible, hilarious, and enragifying movie title ever. I reckon it won't be quite so bad as the others though, the cast seems pulled straight from SNL's heyday in the 80s. It might be CORNY, but at least the acting parts won't be so painful. Was getting tired of seeing the same old talentless teen idols all the time.

Who knows, it could even turn out to be a cult favorite, ala 80s effort lampooning TV news networks, Sex o' Clock News.

Excuse me, I need to go choke uncontrollably on my own rage.

>>762

Michael Bay is the new Uwe Boll.

>>770

Not really. In fact, that statement is fantastically stupid, and we are all dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

>>770
I know this statement requires no retort but fuck it I'm bored

Does the man produce Oscar award worthy movies? Of course not, the man knows damn well how to make an entertaining summer blockbuster and he's a damn good producer to boot. Sadly, being a good producer doesn't necessarily mean the end result won't suck(Nightmare on Elm looks decent though)

One more piece of my childhood gets a destruction countdown timer

>>810
Considering that The Thing was, itself, a remake (best remake ever, BTW), I don't think you're allowed to complain about this one.

>>813

Yes we do, because this one is going to suck.

>>813
Yes we do because there's absolutely no reason to remake something that's already been remade

and the first remake was awesome

>>814
>>816
First: This isn't a remake.
Second: It seems hypocritical to complain about Hollywood doing its typical bullshit when we wouldn't have had the awesomeness that is The Thing were it not for Hollywood doing its typical bullshit.

>>819

If it was done well, Hollywood wasn't doing its usual bullshit.

http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2010/03/29/godzilla-to-be-remade-courtesy-of-legendary-pictures/

You know, I really wish Hollywood would quit giving me reasons to want to shove my fist through my face.

>>844
The problem is that godzilla doesn't work that way anymore. I mean, since we know how radiation works now (or at least know that it DOESN'T cause things to mutate into giant monsters) the original allegory doesn't work...unless they go with the retcon that the atomic bombs "Woke Up" godzilla rather than created him.

>>819
No, we wouldn't have had the awesomeness that is "The Thing 1980's ver" if John Carpenter hadn't been involved.

>>844
I'd be outraged but I've only seen the godawful remake that was Matt Brodrick in Godzilla

>>877

I'll admit...I thought the first one was pretty cute and funny, but we all know what they're gonna do with a remake, go over the top.

Speaking of The Thing, they had it on HBO tonight. For a movie from 1982, it's still freaky as hell.

The whole part with the dogs still makes me a little squeamish.

>>885

You should see it on blu-ray on a big-screen 120 refresh HDTV.

>>921
Words cannot describe how fucking jealous I am of you. Seriously.
