Why, Hollywood? Why are you doing this? Are you really all out of ideas?
The movie Girls Just Want To Have Fun was released in 1985 — the year I entered high school. All these shows and movies from that era that are being remade force me to relive ninth through 12th grade. And unless that means I get to weigh 111 pounds and have sex on the high school baseball diamond again, I’m not interested.
The only glimmer of hope that this project might not happen, is that it is still in the formative stages. That is, the script is just being written now. So many things could go wrong that would prevent it from going straight to DVD to the big screen. Pray, dudes. Pray hard.
Girls just want to retire. For real.
Agreed. This is bad. I love(d) this movie–and am so tired of all the remakes!!!
I hope to God that they never try to remake any Molly Ringwald classics.
If they tried to remake The Breakfast Club with Disney stars or some glossy idiots from a show like Gossip Girl then I may have to train as an assassin.
This movie has served it’s purpose. Let is rest peacefully in it’s old age.
(*grin* baseball diamond! nice)
The sad thing is (I realised this when the Atomic Kittens covered the Bangles) there’s a whole generation out there, with considerable spending power, who weren’t even born in 85. Therefore, H’wood gonna recycle popular storylines with relevant actors & fashions.
Yea, I was gonna say that. I’m 17 and I have never seen Girls Just Want to Have Fun, and alot of movies that wendie is so upset about them remaking. Most people my age haven’t either, and I’m glad they’re remaking movies that were good back then so the younger people can watch an updated version of them.
Or…you could watch the old version.
Wendie, nice caption :-)
What’s up with SJP’s head/body ??? It’s like her head was superimposed on her torso and there is no neck involved here.
i know, it’s terrifying
oh god NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT ANOTHER REMAKE!!! hollywood has no creativity left….*sigh*
I was in that movie as an extra! My 30 seconds of fame :) My kids are so proud! lol
