Dodecahedron and Alejandra, why haven't I seen you two promoting this:

Opens July 30 here in the USA. They ran a trailer for it while I was seeing Spiderman 2 over the weekend.

I saw the trailer for that a few weeks ago. Looks like the bastard child of the Power Rangers and the original Thunderbirds show.

It just goes to show that Hollywood has run out of original ideas.


I'm waiting for re-makes of Key Largo & Casablanca and Battleship Potemkin [-X

Maybe Captain Kangaroo:The Movie will be next. But I'm not sure I can handle watching the nude scenes...

The Captain and Mr. Greenjeans. That's about as good as Boy George and Hammer.

That's too bad. I'm not familiar with the Thunderbirds beyond what Dodecahedron and Alejandra told me a month or two back, and I was talking with my friends instead of paying attention to the trailer when it was playing, so I didn't form an opinion on it one way or the other.

:o That's an image I didn't need in my mind... Yikes!

If they are doing a remake of Thunderbirds, then is it only a matter of time before they do a live-action remake of Speed Racer???

Do 'The Roo' baby !

I can hear the dialogue now:
CK: Sorry, but you must be 18 to ride 'The Roo'.

The title could be: Captain Kangaroo: The Dark Side.

Speaking of Hollywood remakes, I also recently saw the trailer for "I Robot". Now, it has been a long, long time since I read Asimov's robot stories, but I sure don't remember massed robot armies going on wild sprees of death, destruction and general mayhem as pictured in the trailer. I recall Asimov's stories as being well written, thoughtful explorations of the meaning of humanity, not slash and bash, action filled blood-fests. Is my memory failing me more than normal, or is this another example of Hollywood completely missing the point of a work of literature and bastardizing it with their twisted ideas of "quality"?

Heck, my parents remember when I used to dance while the Dancing Bear was on Captain Kangaroo. I feel old. ;)

It's not that long since I read them. Most of the robots in his novels are peaceful and humane.
