Hollywood Babble On & On #417: Some Miscellaneous Musings...

Welcome to the show folks...

It's been a slow news day for me, so here are just a couple of quick mini-musings.

BRYAN SINGER TO DIRECT X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

Maybe both he and Fox are trying to atone for the general suckiness of
Superman Returns and X-Men 3, but the real question might be is this too little too late.

Sure, the drooling fanboys will drop an easy $200 million on a film of a dog turd drying in the sun if it had "X-Men" or "Wolverine" in the title, but I'm talking about the long term improvements to profitability that come with quality. I'm talking about people shelling out to buy the DVDs, upgrade to Blu-Ray, watch it the seventeen times a day it's rerun on cable. They're not going to do as well in those fields if the movie smelled worse than The Beast's bathroom after an all you can eat curry buffet.

BRECK EISNER TO REMAKE THE BROOD

I have the same reaction that everyone else who has seen the original film of The Brood by David Cronenberg when they heard that it was going to be remade.

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

BAD HOLLYWOOD!

BAD BAD HOLLYWOOD!

DON'T MAKE ME RUB YOUR NOSE IN IT!


Guess how I really feel about it.
