— Ace Via Althouse, another example of something that was played as an embarrassment for Bush, and proof of his stupidity, instead serving as a "see? he's just like you" human-warmth moment for Obama.
I guess there's an easy edgy joke about a threatening black man trying to get into a locked home but Obama's about as threatening as Urkel's agent's aromatherapist's opthamalagist's hairdresser's panty shield.
Damnit! DrewM already had this as metaphor of the day.
Still Got It: Stephen "Evil Ed" Geoffrey's reenacts his famous line at a midnight screening of Fright Night, years later.

Jeebus. We have a CiC the staff locks out, and he can't operate an umbrella. Nice job, 52%ers.

When a Libyan or Egyptian reporter throws his shoe at Obama in a couple of years, our press will tell us it was a 'gift' by a liberated journalist.

Maybe Obama could spend a little more time in-country and then he'd figure out some of the subtleties of the building.

No, that was Biden.

I can't even discuss remakes.
I just saw the preview of one of all time fav's - Arthur.
Russell Brand, to borrow his venacular, is such a wanker. How does one, even a funny person (which he's the furthest thing from being funny) even top. D. Moore?
Posted by: laceyunderalls at March 24, 2011 10:52 AM (pLTLS)
From Lacey's link:
Mariano Rivera and the New York Yankees welcomed Vice President Joe Biden to spring training. The Toronto Blue Jays? They were stuck on the bus.
Mariano Rivera now to endorse the creation of High Speed Rail!

More on Turkey: NATO needs all 28 members to OK takeover of military operation - AP http://bit.ly/fziKfw
Turkey knows damn well that NATO's 28 members will not unanimously approve a NATO takeover. Gotta hand it to Erdogan - that budding Islamist knows how to game the international system (although admittedly that's not terribly difficult).

Casino Royale
The Fly
Star Trek
Posted by: AmishDude at March 24, 2011 02:54 PM (BvBKY)
Ben Hur was a remake?
As for Casino Royale and Star Trek...well, the original Casino Royale was a parody and the new one is an honest to goodness Bond movie. Star Trek was a generic outer space adventure movie with the Star Trek name slapped on it.
Posted by: Rob at March 24, 2011 10:58 AM (4q6A5)
Harry Brown was a good flick
I recommend RED with Brian Cox (who's a treat to watch).
Not RED with Bruce Willis, but that was half-decent.

remake. Anyone see the original?
Posted by: polynikes at March 24, 2011 02:59 PM (yKP4s)
It's based on a Swedish movie called Let The Right One In. I haven't seen it but going by the synopsis on Wikidingdong it's sounds basically the same.

Yep. Of a fairly popular silent film.
the original Casino Royale was a parody
Sort of. Granted, that was a lay-up.
Star Trek was a generic outer space adventure movie with the Star Trek name slapped on it.
Not really. It depended on knowing the characters. I guess you could characterize it as a "reboot" rather than a remake, but I stand by my characterization. Between all of the TV/movie reboots and remakes it stands out against all the rest.

Seven into Snowy was much better than the Disney original
The Peace Killers gave Seven Samurai a run for the money
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls totally dominated.

Evil Ed is still alive? What is he doing now, selling time shares?
They are remaking Fright Night? Who's going to play the vampire, because the guy who did it first was pretty good, and I'm sure he's 150 years old now.
name 3 good remakes
Cape Fear
3:10 to Yuma
Insomnia

Brian Cox is the man. See Manhunter, the prequel to silence of the lambs. He was great in that as Hannibal Lechter.
Posted by: Hedgehog at March 24, 2011 11:54 AM (Rn2kl)
Colin Ferrell will be the vampire in the new Fright Night.
Let Me In is a remake of a Swedish movie from just a few years ago called, "Let the Right One In" I've seen both, they're pretty similar, few small changes.
Bonus trivia--There were 2 Simpsons' cast members on Herman's Head--Yeardley Smith who plays Lisa and Hank Azaria who does dozens of voices, most prominently Moe and Apu. (He also used to be married to Helen Hunt)
Posted by: Bob at March 24, 2011 12:02 PM (4DoFz)
Oh Manhunter is fantastic. Much better than Red Dragon, which was its remake. And Cox is just as good as Hannibal as Anthony Hopkins. Seriously.
Better remakes? Off the top of my head:
3:10 to Yuma, Casino Royale, The Thing, Scarface, Star Trek.
Love movies? Check out Howard Hawks and his films. Most every director you have heard of? Yeah, they all copied him. Guys a genius.

Get the fuck out of here. Really?
That might be pretty interesting. He's an underrated actor who's done really good work the last few years. I've seen him do crazy-evil; I wonder if he can do seductive evil.

I'm looking forward to the new Fright Night. I'm a huge fan of the two original movies. Shame about McDowell, though.
