Footloose Remake

Yes, Footloose is going to be remade. How far along are they in this process? How can I put this...they have a trailer out.

aka the remake of Footloose is going to be done.

I haven't seen the original but heard it's supposed to be cheesey. Why did they remake it? I am assuming that since the original one is remembered fondly, by some, that they decided to make money by remaking it.

Movie making is a business so this makes sense. I'm not in love with the original (having never seen it), so I'm not too close to the situation.

Q&A: S&N 1

I discuss why I named my series S&N, explain about The Net, and other things related to S&N: The Change.

A Scientology Music Video

Scientology is a cult that is dangerous (and also referenced in the game series Dead Space). Recently there has been a video brought up on YouTube about it.

Specifically a music video. This is a very cheesey music video and would be funny if not for the fact that Scientology is actually real and not kind. The video below does have annotations so you can find some facts out about what Scientology really is.

Roger Ebert: A Tweet Too Soon

I am not all familiar with the Jackass series, so when I heard that Ryan Dunn died I didn't have much context. However, he is a human being and deserves respect when he hasn't even been dead a full day. It doesn't matter that he died in a car crash after drinking. What matters was that he is a human being that died.

Roger Ebert disagrees with me since he posted (soon after Dunn was dead) that "Friends don't let jackasses drink and drive".

Now I do admit drunk driving is not good and that Ebert does have a point. However, it was too soon after Dunn had died. Let the people who need to grieve, grieve for a little bit then let your distaste out.

Jurassic Park 4: Just Don't

The first time I heard about a fourth Jurassic Park movie was tonight with some friends. One friend said that it couldn't happen because Michael Crichton is dead and so the people in charge (like Steven Spielberg) can't get the rights. It was then pointed out that Jurassic Park III was not based on any of the books by Michael Crichton (of which there are only two in the Jurassic Park series and he doesn't like to do sequels).

What did I think of this sequel happening? I hated the idea and still do.

Jurassic Park was a good movie and Jurassic Park: The Lost World was pretty good too. However, Jurassic Park III just stunk. Sure it had some cool dinosaurs but it just didn't work. Mind you I'm not comparing it to the other two films. It didn't work on its own.

I hope that Jurassic Park 4 (which may be a remake or a reboot depending on what the powers that be say) does not come into existence. Jurassic Park is a good series (except the third installment) and it should just be left to die in peace. However, I doubt this will happen as Jurassic Park is popular.
