Another Remake in Hollywood

Do you remember the movie Red Dawn? It was about communists taking over a small rural town and the kids in the town revolt and fight to get their town back. I watched the movie starring Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen and Jennifer Grey back in the day. Now apparently it is going to be remade using young stars of today. Is the fear of the Soviets still relevant? Or will they change the bad guys? I never thought this movie was iconic enough to be remade but what do I know. Read the full story on EW.com.

Do You Remember the Movie, Heathers?

I read in a magazine this weekend that they (meaning big wigs in Hollywood) are thinking about either a remake or a sequel of the movie Heathers. Does anyone remember this movie? This was Christian Slater at his hottest with Winona Ryder as they masterminded a suicide pact for their school. I loved this movie. I don't know why. I loved the 80's clothes, the Red scrunchie that was basically the crown for the "head" Heather, and I loved the dialogue. I am not sure that this movie should or could ever be redone (Footloose anyone) but it was a classic (in my eyes). Anyone else saying these lines would never get them right....

"Heather, bulimia is so '87!"
"F@#K me gently with a chainsaw!" (I loved this one)
"Corn Nuts"
"I don't patronize bunny rabbits."
"What is your damage, Heather?"

Did I miss any? Anyway, just a heads up that a movie might be in the works. Can Hollywood not come up with anything new? Why do they have to screw with our movies?
