9. "I don't care if the make another sequel." In response to Reply # 7
Because I ignore most of the sequels anyway, just don't fuck with the original. I don't care if nerds are still easy targets, they can't top or match the original, so why try? Yes I am one of those guys that says "stop ruining my childhood" whenever an 80's remake/adaptation is brought up. Also I get plenty of nerd comedy from big bang theory that I don't need another nerd movie.

not even a remake of it... but they better not do any sort of prequel/sequel thing with it.

14. "A Krush Groove spin-off movie would be dope though" In response to Reply # 11
>>Krush Groove > >i really don't think you need to worry about these
Imagine if they did a real movie about Rick Rubin, or Russel Simmons or LL Cool J
It took Russel from 1976 - 1985 to actually go from local promoter to starting up Def Jam and releasing their first album ( Radio )
A movie strictly following him from a 18 year old promoter to the richest black man under the age of 30 in America would be really good.
A movie depicting NY the way it really was back then, with all the griminess...with all the hookers on 42nd street, with all the shoot-outs over who stepped on who's kicks (which was a BIG deal back then)
to me Krush Groove kinda bubble-gummed it back then...
13. "Dude, you're looking at remakes in the wrong way..." In response to Reply # 0 Mon Mar-23-09 03:49 PM by xbenzive
I've always think of remakes like remixes or covers, it doesn't take anything from the original, because the original will always be the original. A remake seem like the point of view to someone else, which I'm all for. Like comics, isn't cool to see another artist do your favorite superhero? Music, I've always been interested to see how anyone can tackle anyone's hit song. Thus why I support remakes for movies. I mean, in the end, if you don't like it, then don't like it. Can't complain at all.

Natalie Portman get Sarah Conner's role and yeah probably the rock would get the terminator role or maybe the huge british guy from Snatch and Mean machine. Regardless og how bad it'd be there'll always be apart of me that would want to see it, even if to see how bad it is.
23. "lol, I wouldn't mind a Goonies Pt. 2" In response to Reply # 0
with the original actors, aged, getting together for one last Goonie adventure. But yeah, they'll never top the original if they were to try to remake it. That's one movie that I never get tired of watching over and over and over again.

though I haven't seen the DVD with commentary. But just because Josh Brolin made his way to the big leagues doesn't mean he wouldn't do a film like this if it was done right.

48. "never going to happen...why? a) ain't no woman" In response to Reply # 27
in this country rocking titties like Joyce Hyser's (no hetero, but lots o' homo)
b) what actress can convincingly play a high school girl who can effortlessly play a tough dude also (i.e. fierce gender bending androgyny at its finest)? who? Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton are too old to do it, as is Hilary Swank... Kristen Stewart could have done it post Panic Room if they made a "Just One Of The Guys" for the tweenie set...
c) Just One Of The Guys was very daring and original...Hollywood DOESN'T DO daring and original..not these days
