Hey, that reminds me, Pamela Anderson once guest-starred as herself on Futurama, and mentioned something about Baywatch The Movie being the first movie to be shot entirely in slo-mo. Let's see if fiction becomes fact. As for Doubtfire 2: No harm done, I guess, I didn't really think there was a god in the first place. |

This thread battles my will to live  Mrs. Doubtfire 2? I almost want to know just how they're going to excuse Williams dressing up again. Hmm. Ten to one they have family coming over and Robin has to dress up to make the family look normal or be around because the wife's parents hate him. And I'm not the biggest Evil Dead fan, but does anyone actually want a remake? Seems to me people think that movie's perfect. Speaking of Alan Moore movies: lately I wish I could make the League 2 myself, and just ignore everything the first movie did to the story. Quote:

haha those australians "Log line: Giant robots are able to morph into cars, trucks and planes"....why wouldnt they be able to? Also I would hate to see a re-make of revenge of the nerds. Being in college is bad enough without people making a movie that shows stuff that doesn't happen in college. |

| FreakinStrange | i saw the movie that Dinner for Schmucks is based upon and it was alright | |
| Nov 9th, 2004 01:26 PM | ||
| Krythor |
Dinner for Schmucks is written by Jon Vitti of the Simpsons, the Critic and King of the Hill so as terrible as the premise sounds it should turn out okay. Is the Bill Corbett that's credited as co-writing Starship Dave the same Bill Corbett who played Crow in the last 3 seasons of MST3k? |

I didn't take into account that they'd have to afford a nanny. But it would make sense that the prissy Scottish nanny from wealthy conditions would end up having to make the most of living with a family in poor conditions. AT FIRST SHE FEELS SHE CAN'T DO IT, BUT THEN THE KIDS TEACH HER HOW TO RAP AND SUDDENLY SHE'S LIVIN IT UP YO AND EVERYONE'S GETTING ALONG AND MAKING IT IN LIFE. And when I think of rappers and hiphoppers I generally don't think of cute little nuclear families, because like rockstars, they generally don't have them. |
