Remakes Tend to Suck--Always

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, starring Paul Newman (as Butch) and Robert Redford (as Sundance) is one of the coolest movies ever made. It's funny. It's action-packed. It's even emotional--to a certain extent. It's well written, well directed, perfectly acted, and excepting a montage with a horrible musical accompianment (bad-duh-bah...) practically perfect in every way.



Just this scene alone should have you at Blockbuster in no time.



Rumor has it that Tom Cruise plans to remake the film, starring himself as the Sundance Kid, and casting John Travolta as Butch.

My thoughts?

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO F---ING WAY! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO F---ING WAY! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO F---ING WAY! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO F---ING WAY! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

What's next? Remake The Terminator with Richard Simmons?

Remake 9 1/2 Weeks with Rosie O'Donnell?

Remake Braveheart with Fat Bastard from Austin Powers?

Remake The Matrix with Keanu Reeves?

  2. While "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" is a gentle and pleasant tune, we must agree to disagree regarding the piece to which I referred. If memory serves, I'm talking about the montage played to show their passage to New York and then Bolivia.
