My god yes. That would be awesome. Matt Damon can play the weathers old sea captain and it can be a reunion. Can there be an ABBA musical dance number? Only if it is set in 1850's England.

Seriously enough already with the god damn remakes and movies based on crappy old TV shows that people stopped giving a rat's ass about decades ago.

Probably because of cookies from where you loaded the image once already.

Really? Hmm, I don't think I've ever been there before. My limited interwebz capacity shows. Anyhoo, I changed the image. Hopefully its working now.

I...I just don't get the logic. Like Slim said, really the only people that still watch RHPS are hardcore fans, who will avoid this like the plague. Maybe some new people will get into it, but I don't see how. Part of the charm of the original is just how bad it is. If you make a "good" version, I can't see how people will suddenly like it.
I just fail to see who thought this was a good idea. It won't replace the original. It will just be another unfortunate remake.

Great, because I thought of a much better example of how stupid this idea is...and I can't stand RHPS.

Ugh. I despise it when cult classics are remade. Yes, RHPS is a "bad" movie. That's it's appeal! Trying to make a "good" version, especially under the MTV banner, and my god, bastion of quality that MTV is, is a bad idea. They're gonna do a bang up job on it, I'm sure. Can't we leave ANY old movies alone any more, bad or good? Surely the entertainment industry can't be that devoid of new ideas.

Once again MTV thinks they can be musically relevant
and this wouldn't be the way anyway. You can't take a cult classic, remake it, and expect the people who made it a cult classic in the first place to like it. It's unnecessary (like all remakes) and most importantly, stupid.
Also I was so mad I accidentally created a second thread for this topic.
because I am
really mad
VERY. I'm sick of all these remakes especially ones that try to replace something that's important to me or had some sort of effect on my life. And seeing as how I made some very good friends through going to showings of RHPS in the western part of MA, I can say that they will probably eagerly join me in the pathological hatred of this remake.

MTV, the people who no longer have any idea what music is.

Sadly, a Grease remake is probably not too far away either.
