    That's kinda wierd. I hope it works. It's backed by Harvey Weinstein so they must have some grand plans in mind for this.

            Say it isn't so ...

            What's next? Let me guess:
            The Love Boat with Sean Connery as The Captain, Colin Farrell as Gopher and Ice Cube as Isaac?

            Different Strokes with a midget as Arnold and, who else, Ice Cube as Willis?

            Three's Company with Brad Pitt as Jack Tripper, Angelina Jolie as Janet, Jessica Simpson as Chrissy and Steve Buscemi as Mr. Furley? Oh yeah, Ice Cube will be the bartender at the Regal Beagle or a black version of Larry...

              That's just rediculous; just heard that they are also considering casting J-Lo in Dallas (the movie). Hollywood is really going to shit...

                    Amen to that... there are so many good scripts out there but they never get picked up. Every studio passed on Crash, except Lions Gate.

                    Lions Gate will be the studio to watch, they aren't afraid to put their asses on the line.

                    When the A-Team movie comes out, that will signify the end of the world.

                          Hollywood is tricking itself with two major themes:

                          Names sell.

                          History is worth repeating.

                          Repeating history makes it easy to come up with the situation (it is already there) and you can play the characters as they were before without issue. They don't need to invent anything new, just play the existing characters a little over the top and away you go.

                          Name sell: This use to be true, until the press machine and the entertainment tonights and people magazines and whatnot got involved and pretty much played each celeb out as fast as possible. Now they are "here today, gone later today" because they have little staying power.

                          More and more the stars are getting talked into being part of these stupid replay of the 70s bullshit, and they embarrass and lower themselves down to being just clowns.

                          Hollywood wonders why box office keeps dropping. They should find a mirror.

                              True, so Ice Cube as Jack Tripper, Ice Tray as Captain Stubing, and Ice Bucket as Willis

                                  I was wondering if they were going to do that! Hope it's good!
                                  Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                  think about that

                                      Another movie that I would have seen if Hollywood didn't fuck it up by rewriting the original characters in an attempt to sell it to the hip hop crowd. They did the same thing to the Honeymooners.
                                      Show me the pistil porn!

                                        I wish they would show the reruns over here but it seems to be one of those shows the British never got.
