Just when I thought I was out THEY PULL ME BACK IN!

Just when it sounds like I'm giving up blogging, the tragic afronts to the America I know and love REQUIRE an answer!

1. Remake Fletch with that weirdly forgetable Scrubs guy? WHY? Perhaps Chevy Chase's best movie, Fletch defined the early 80s off-beat comedy, but it worked because its a product of it's time---just look at the disaster that is the Miami Vice movie.

I'm against this for a whole variety of reasons, not the least of which if the Hollywood remake juggernaut has turned its insatiable tapeworm of a soul on the 1980s, it's now just a matter of time until we get the Saved by the Bell movie.

Directed by Michael Bay, no doubt, following on the heels of his reconceptualization of 90120: The Movie as an international espionage romp involving an intricate plot about SAT test cheating network as the new outgrowth of the AQ Kahn crowd.

AND THE NUMBER #1 REASON WHY I HAVE TO KEEP ON BLOGGING:

I guess Funny Girl is using the Stanislavski method to prepare for her role in Eleanor Roosevelt: The Later, Bitter, Fatter and Uglier Years.
