It's Memorial Day Weekend, three days we set aside to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice defending this country by offering great deals on mattresses, stereos and going to the movies. (Billy? Don't forget that your Grandfather died at Iwo Jima so that you can see "Terminator:Salvation".)
This, of course, leads one to wonder what sorts of films simply should not be made. My personal preference is that Michael Bay not team up with Uwe Boll and produce "Spy Hunter: The Movie", although in some respects, it'd be kind of inevitable. (Needless but spectacular explosions? Check. Twisted forced plot device baring little to do with the original source material? Check.)
Much like how the ongoing, continual rape of our collective childhood should soon produce a live action "Smurfs: Brainy's Revenge" featuring Hugh Jackman in the title role with Christian Bale portraying Gargamel.
A very large part of me wants to simply plant these gems as green-lit movies that will be released Summer '10, just to dork with folks.
Well, that and "Elmo's Adventures in Hong Kong" directed by Quentin Tarrantino.
You know? i'd go to that last one, if only to hear the five year old behind me ask "Mommy? Why does Elmo not like the monkey fighting lady on the monday to friday plane?"
