I just heard a terrible rumor that Hollywood, that stagnant bowl of freebase residue and spray tan runoff is remaking one of my most beloved Science Fiction movies: "Logan's Run". It is set to star Ryan Gosling, who I only have so far liked in the movie "Lars and the Real Girl" and maybe "Fracture", altough his role in that could have been portrayed by any Hollywood pretty boy, like Channing Tatum.
Why do they do this? Why do they just keep taking old crap and making it pretty with vapid actors, and hot new directors, who maybe had one good film, but were most notable for something like music videos? Seriously I really thought the dumbed down PG-13 version of slasher movies I loved was bad enough, but for chrissakes!!!!!! This is a classic. Michael York was and will always be Logan 5. I can only imagine who they would get to play Jessica, a role, like York's in the movie, that was so perfectly played by Jenni Augutter. Probably Megan Fox, ugh an empty, vapid expressionless face and no talent.
And you know what is the worst? I reference this movie at least once a week. When the remake comes out, what the hell am I going to do, especially if it sucks. It's like Bowie and Mercury's "Under Pressure" all over again. Ever since Vanilla Ice sampled that song, I was forever shamed into playing it at low volume.
Dammit Hollywood, I hate you oh so very much.......and yet I can't live without you, you worn out old twat.
