My Tirade

So while the rest of the world is thinking about the 10th anniversary of September 11th, I am thinking about the fact that someone decided it would be a good idea to remake Footloose. While September 11th seems so much more important... I think I'd pay more attention to it if I were flying on that day. I think would be SO AWESOME! What can I say? I like adventures. And I don't like it when people try to control me by fear. And I'm not afraid of some terrorist. I mean with all my flying experiences, if i really wanted to, I could BE the terrorist. and WHY oh WHY are we allowing the experience of ten years ago to be relived? Did anyone ever think that was inconsiderate? I do. I think that if they died once, there is no reason to make them die again.

On to Footloose.... Dennis Quaid as Reverend Shaw?! He's not a prick like that. I mean, I think Dennis is a great actor, but I don't think the role of Reverend Shaw fits him. And seriously who could even possibly play Ren better than Kevin Bacon?? Let's get serious here though, the casting isn't what gets to me most. It's the fact that the people who are going to watch this remake - aside from me - probably never saw the original. I think its nonsensical to go and remake such a classic. How do you think you're gonna out do the original? You need a little more than "hipper dance moves." What's next? The Breakfast Club? I just think that if you're going to try to make a move like that, it takes a lot. A lot more than what most people are willing to do now. Otherwise you just give it a good try. And that really doesn't get you far. If you're going to go big, go all the way. None of this "I guess that'll do." Because "I guess that'll do" gets you mediocrity. Now, if mediocrity is your thing then hey, I guess that'll do for you. I hope you hit up mediocrity big...
