Frankly, I keep hoping they'll scrap the idea (wishful thinking, I know). <br /><br />Beliza: And you know, I would think remaking something that worked in the past would be a greater risk because of the backlash. The whole thing is nonsensical. <br /><br />Lost.In.Idaho: I would hope not. lol <br /><br />Hazel: Oh, heaven help us if they remake Grease!!! Eragon deserved better, for sure. I had no idea they didn't like each other! I had heard Patrick would get a little frustrated when Jennifer would have silly moments, etc. From what I understand, they did grow into being really good friends. :)The Frisky Virginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03782384806427143829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202344894613963804.post-20010974218852899822011-08-12T13:00:28.075-07:002011-08-12T13:00:28.075-07:00I heard about this only yesterday on the news and ...I heard about this only yesterday on the news and I find it ridiculous. There are plenty of crap films out there that they could remake e.g. Eragon and The Golden Compass. Instead they want to ruin a much loved movie. Can you imagine if they try to remake Grease next?<br /><br />Quite interestingly though, Patrick and Jennifer couldn't stand each other! Just goes to show how good they were at acting lolMiss Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758016594265555571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202344894613963804.post-14334178467938065392011-08-12T07:59:26.552-07:002011-08-12T07:59:26.552-07:00Nobody ignores Baby on Facebook!Nobody ignores Baby on Facebook!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993699573170596587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202344894613963804.post-8233274734472752942011-08-12T00:44:28.292-07:002011-08-12T00:44:28.292-07:00I completely agree with you.

I have no idea why they can't imagine something new. It's just so wrong. And I love the original Cheerios, Captain Crunch, and Oreos!!! Nothing beats the original!<br /><br />Julianna: :) Totally agree with Drake--and how sad is it that they can't leave the greats alone? <br /><br />Chanel: LOL--Count me in! PERFECTLY said! Frankly, if they *have* to remake this timeless film, at least cast unknowns in the roles. <br /><br />Anna: Oh, I hear you! Annoyed x 100. I have no idea what they're thinking. This is one of those films that stands on its own. <br /><br />J. Day: I had the same reaction to the potential cast lineup. :/ It just seems so wrong to try to replicate something that simply cannot be replicated. :(<br /><br />Yvonne: :) Can't you just hear modern Johnny saying something like that?! Wouldn't it be as sexy as the "corner" comment? Bah! Hardly! Ya just can't duplicate greatness--not in story or in lines. Ugh!<br /><br />Average Girl: LOL--Love it! Oh, I had the biggest crush on Patrick when I first saw Dirty Dancing! Actually, I still do. lol No one, and I mean NO ONE, will come close to Patrick. To watch that man move...sigh. <br /><br />Carole: Ditto!<br /><br />Barsola: Jennifer Grey is a sweetheart, but deep down she must know it will never, ever top the original. I was equally annoyed with a Footloose remake. I have NO IDEA why they remake films that do NOT need to be remade. Kevin Bacon IS Footloose. Patrick Swayze & Jennifer Grey ARE Dirty Dancing. Period.

Times have changed--to think they can recapture that innocent vibe even with the saucy dancing seems absurd. <br /><br />That 20 Something Virgin: LOL--I hear ya! Oh, Lord help us all if they try to remake Gone With The Wind!!!!!!! No, no, no, no. <br /><br />Jewels: So many films stand the test of time. There is no reason to remake the classics, I agree. The only one I was excited about was Clash of the Titans, but only because of the new special effects and stuff. It ended up falling well short of the original, despite the fancy CG stuff. <br /><br />JW: Oh, you have to see it when you get some time. I think you're absolutely right and it's a dang shame they can't leave well enough alone. <br /><br />Drake: My stomach just flipped when I read about Wizard of Oz. Are they seriously going through with that?! OMG! NOOOOOOOO! Never, ever, ever, ever will anything come within the vicinity of being close to Judy Garland and the original Oz. INSANITY!!!<br /><br />Candice: It really is a travesty--great word for it! When a film is a classic, it shouldn't be touched. :(<br /><br />Eva: I second that! <br /><br />Kat: Objection sustained! I can't stop shaking my head over all of this. :( No one will come close Patrick and Jennifer. I know it's not the new actors fault--they will try their best, bless them. But there will forever be only one Johnny and one Baby. <br /><br />chocolateangel: Nor do I. :(The Frisky Virginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03782384806427143829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202344894613963804.post-25105591507404896572011-08-11T17:16:10.165-07:002011-08-11T17:16:10.165-07:00No way.
