"he didn't know that he was mass-produced."

[enamoured]

WHY, GOD, WHY?!

Let's put this in list form.

1. I do not understand the alleged hotness of Zac Efron. Maybe it's because I'm not a twelve year old girl anymore--but then, even when I was twelve, I don't think I would've gone for him. I know that girls that age are attracted to "adorable" and inoffensive looking guys, but there is something so off about him that I can't put my finger on it.

2. I always have the urge to punch Efron in the face. I don't know why. Something about him bothers me, short of his overexposure.

3. WHY ARE THEY REMAKING FOOTLOOSE.

4. WHY.

5. Someone needs to be beat down for this.

6. Between this, the Underdog remake (WHY couldn't it have been in cartoon form, while still keeping Jason Lee to do Underdog's voice?! WHY WHY WHY?!), the Alvin and the Chipmunks remake, and the other things that just needed not to be remade (Inspector Gadget movie? I am looking at you)? I am sick of remakes. Seriously, if they are going to do a remake, MAKE IT INTERESTING or DON'T REMAKE SOMETHING THAT WAS COOL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

7. I think my rage is slowly passing.

Oh, hey, I Love the 90s is on VH1! [claps]

Question of the day: which movie from the past fifteen years do you think will be remade, whether we want it to be or not?

PS: I want that new Prince single. WANT.

*facepalm*

our childhood, they are ruining it. :(

i think that efron's face is the kind of face you just want to punch. he looks way too smarmy.

I can't stand him either... I don't think even if I was 11 or 12 I would've found him attractive. He has a funny looking face, especially his mouth and teeth. I would love to see you punch him! (Or better yet I'll do it!)

Hmm, I really hope it never is, but I fear that FAME will one day be remade. Also GREASE. Those should never be touched.

3. WHY ARE THEY REMAKING FOOTLOOSE.

because Hollywood latches on to anything they think will make a buck, and right now that is the dude from High School Musical and remakes. plus i think musicals are hot right now.

i just saw the Underdog trailer the other day. i was too shock to even realize that was Jason Lee's voice.

and to make it even better, had you heard about this (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808706887/info)?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

nothing is sacred.

The first thing I ever saw Zac Efron in, he played a kid with severe autism.

...so no offense to the autistic population, but whenever I see him, I think, "Hey, it's that autistic kid."

I will die if it happens but I think the Breakfast Club will be remade. There have been rumors about it for a few years now.


There's an Alvin and the Chipmunks remake?!?! WTF!

[bitter-sixteen.livejournal.com]

I'm terrified someone will try and remake Heavyweights. I have faith that Judd Apatow would never allow this though.

[supersyncspaz7.livejournal.com]

Judd Apatow did Heavyweights?! Dude!

[bitter-sixteen.livejournal.com]

He wrote it. Paul Feig was actually in the movie too so the whole movie kind of gives off a "Freaks and Geeks" feel. :)

[lostrenegade.livejournal.com]

Alvin & The Chipmunks? O-M-G. Link me girlie, I must know now (in the "horrified as you are" way).

[supersyncspaz7.livejournal.com]

There are no words.

[lostrenegade.livejournal.com]

Oh. YUCK.

Though I'm amused at the number of people in the comments that have icons from The Chipmunk Adventure.

[colorsblend.livejournal.com]

I so don't get the Zac Efron thing either. Except for in Hairspray. For some reason I'm totally attracted to him as Link. Hmm.

[gannet-guts.livejournal.com]

I think Go Fug Yourself explained why I don't like Zac best. They likened him to Tom Cruise and that's all I think when I see his plasticy face.

WHAT?!

...

WHAT?!

Ew, ew, ew, ew. How are they not understanding the fact that their ideas are STUPID?

As for the worst idea ever? A Goonies remake. Or a sequel. Both of which has been rumored. *shudder*

the world's insanity takes many forms.

In this age, that form is "remake."

[rainbow-nirvana.livejournal.com]

Zac Efron is very, very, unattractive. But, then again, I didn't think the guys everyone was lusting after when were were in elementary/middle school (Justin Timberlake, Nick Carter, etc.) were very good looking either.

I can see someone remaking Clueless somewhere down the line, and whoever does it should be shot.
