Why! Leave my childhood movies alone.
D*** you Hollywood. Is nothing sacred anymore? There is absolutely no way that you can remake such classic lines as “Hey Laser lips… Your mother was a snow blower.”
Please leave the classics alone.
I agree, this doesn’t need to be remade at all. What’s next-ET? The Goonies? I still remember the original vividly and it’s been years since I saw it as a kid. Hollywood, why don’t you try to come up something original. I kind of hope Number 5 comes alive and kicks your butt!
Short Circuit 2 was better. Never mind that Toronto looks nothing like New York.
