Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! In the immortal words of spike haired diet and self improvement guru Susan Pouter "STOP THE MADNESS!!"

If Lorne Michaels makes one more movie out of a Saturday Night Live Skit that was only funny for the first two minutes of the six minutes it was on television I am gonna spew! No more comic book movies! no more remakes of television shows and movies that were not that great to begin with!

Did we really need to perpetuate the moronic waste of effort that was the television series "Car 54, where are You?" by making it a movie?

Here's a revolutionary idea for Hollywood - come up with some new ideas. If you want to make a spy movie fine, but don't borrow a theme song and a title and tell us it's Mission Impossible. Stop strip mining the past for crap and remaking old television shows and movies. Write something NEW for a change!

The other alternative is that "Ketchup Song: the movie" and "Mork and Mindy together again" (starring Jim Carrey and Reese Witherspoon with a cameo by Robin Williams as Orson) will sweep the 2007 oscars.

My God!... What have you done?!... You started the rumor and now it's out there. You even gave them casting ideas.... Oh!.. the humanity...

I have to agree about the SNL stuff. I lived for the glimpse of the Wayne's World Aurora Cable-10 Public Access intro knowing it was followed by comic geniuses who would do a short skit that would make it worth staying up that late for. But Lorne sold-out the integrity of what he had on TV when he started with the movies, and has yet to get it back.

I also agree that we do not need to rehash ANY of the tv shows that made my childhood of the '70s and '80s great. What keeps me in fond memories of those shows was how they were done then, and not how they could be "better" now. If you watched an episode of Wonder Woman now, you have to seriously question what made you watch something so cheesy as that when you were growing up. But back then, I would have given anything to BE Wonder Woman! Same goes for Battlestar Galactia! I was in love with Apollo and Starbuck. But I would not want to see what they look like now trying to squeeze back into those great leather outfits they wore.

I have found that trying to recapture your youth is futile. Grow up. Be original. Look back with fond memories. But let sleeping dogs lie. (sorry Scooby, I couldn't resist).
