Red Dawn Remake

Oh man Hollywood you suck balls, for serial.

I don't even want to get into the fact that you are about to release a remake of the classic Red Dawn. One of the greatest, cheesiest, jingoistic right wing paranoia fantasies of the 80's, which despite my left leaning self holds a sacred place in my heart for fueling many prepubescent right wing paranoia fantasies of my own. That is bad enough. No what makes it even worse is now they are shoehorning an unrealistic enemy into the movie, and trying to play it with a straight face. Now don't get me wrong, while I definitely do not believe China is any kind of threat to us (they make too much money off of us, you don't kill the cow that shits gold, that's the saying right?) China is by far a more plausible nemesis than North freaking Korea. I mean Faux Newz (the "z" is cause it's extreemly fair and balanced) fear mongering aside, North Korea could send it's entire population (including children) to take over the US and would fail miserably because we outnumber them 13:1, and I can guarantee you they have nowhere near the military hardware or technology despite their recent nuclear testing. South Korea, yes they are a threat to South Korea, and perhaps Japan, but not the US.

Why can we not leave well enough alone? Why do we have to besmirch the memories of great movies? And then to pile on insulting the average American movie goer with this crap........ok maybe it's not an insult, I have seen some of the more popular movies and their grosses....yeah the majority of the movie going public are morons. I should have realized that when the second Bayformers movie made a shit ton of money despite itself, enough money to warrant Bayformers III: See You On the Dark of the Moon.
