I'm back....

I still have the headache, but Paul left a message after I stomped off and made me giggle.
Plus, I'm gonna just make dinner and watch 'Billy Jack' while I do. I'm hoping the 'controlled' and 'pacifist' crap is what rubs off here....
We just did my favorite speech of the whole movie...Billy Jack said it to Bernard and Moose in the ice cream shop and I said my version to this computer....
I didn't throw this asshole through a window yet, though.

And, for some reason, I am compelled to offer a 'somewhat' negative and mildy 'spirited' opinion about a coupla movies right quick.
Ready?

I went into the livingroom very early this morning to tend the fire and saw, on the TV, this...this abomination masquerading as a movie called "The Goodbye Girl". Now, I didn't say anything when they completely fucked up "Bedazzled", originally and brilliantly done by Dudley Moore and Peter Cook, by re-doing it with a skanky fuckin' WOMAN in the lead role. It royally pissed me off, though. Now, some bunch of morons have decided to re-do "The Goodbye Girl" with the ugliest leads I've ever seen. I looked in horror at the TV just long enough to ascertain that this was indeed TGG and fled the room. Jesus.
NOW...I hear they're gonna ruin the Walking Tall movies. Now this shit is going entirely too far.
First of all...a WRESTLER?!?!? What da fuck are you people on? Yes, yes, I know Buford was a wrestler himself, but I garauntee he'd have nothing to do with the bullshit it's turned into since then. Besides, if he was sooo into wrestling, why'd he quit that to be Sheriff? Not to even mention the fact this asshole is a WRESTLER, not an actor. Biiiig difference. (And, if yer gonna try to tell me that wrestlers ARE actors and sell me that whole load of shit...to that I say, if those igits are actors, I'm Shania Fuckin' Twain, okay?) Then, to add insult to injury, they're not even keeping it about Buford. And, his dopey daughter (and I love this woman so it pains me to put it that way, but it's TRUE) is supporting this shit. Been on the movie set, even.
Well. I just wanna run right on back down to Tennessee, go to her restaurant again and lob a hush-puppy at her head. Or maybe a piece of that heavenly fried catfish...(although I'd probably EAT that...I'm pissed, not stupid.)
Anyway...NONONONONONO!!!!!
To all of these friggin' train wrecks.

People...stick to the originals with each and every one of these 'projects'. They're much better done, with real actors and actresses and with intelligence, skill and all things good and right.
These pale imitations are just....evil and wrong.

Thank God I'm gonna die sooner than later. I'd hate like hell to live long enough to see the re-make of "The Sound of Music" starring the Jackson Family. Or "The Godfather" re-done to become "The Godmother" or some shit.
Uggghhh....*shudder*

What is this world COMING to, anyway?
