My childhood just filed another police report.

[conflictofinterests]

Had a rape kit done, and as always DNA evidence points to those rat bastard marketing executives in Hollywood who greenlight these violent assaults upon the tender nether regions of my most cherished memories.

Seriously, Hollywood? A fucking A-Team remake? IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE? And just to grind salt into the wound, you choose Del Taco---MY FAST FOOD SANCTUARY, HOME OF EVERYTHING GOOD IN THIS WORLD---to do your merchandising tie-ins. This means every time I go for meaty, delicious Del Beef Burritos, I have to see your memory molestation like the altar boy up the street going into the confession booth.

I hate you, Hollywood. Right at the moment I'd like to drop Castle Fucking Bravo on the city of Los Angeles to wipe it off the map. A-Team. George Peppard's turning in his grave. Damn it all to hell.

(for discussion: What, if any, recent movies have elicited this reaction from you? I know I'm not the only Gen-Xer around here.)

As long as San Diego won't see any fallout, go right ahead. I don't intend to have a crappy summer, though.

While it isn't related to my childhood as such, I'd like to suggest that we start an e-mail campaign to Justin Marks, the douchebag who wrote the screenplay for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. All e-mails should notify him that if he completely fucks the Shadow of the Colossus movie the same way he did his previous project, we will hunt him down and disembowel him.

There's going to be a SotC movie? Son of a ***** it's just going to be a wild CG wank fest. It doesn't need a god damned movie there's no dialogue just disembodied nonsense voice saying a few sentences occasionally and guy with magic sword stabbing really big hairy guys/horses/birds/wurms in their magic glowy spot.

Haha, my friend and I had a little conversation about this.

Him: Hey, Did you hear they're going to make a new A-Team movie? You think it will be good?
Me: They're going to make a movie based on TV show that starred Mr. T. How good do you think it could possibly be?

I'm surprised no one's started complaining about the new Karate Kid yet...

 

[SimuLord]

I'm surprised no one's started complaining about the new Karate Kid yet...

The new Karate Kid is so unequivocally, you've-gotta-be-kidding-me, who-greenlighted-this? lame as to not even be worth the mental energy.

you're the best around, nothin' gonna ever keep you down...

 

[Rylot]

The second and third Spider-Mans were complete travesties for me. Topher Grace as Venom, seriously? And I heard rumors of Rami remaking Evil Dead without Bruce Campbell. Sigh.

 

[ItsAPaul]

Theres a new Mr. T in it. Like, wtf.

 

[ENKC]

After the Karate Kid remake, our childhoods are already dead inside. And yet they keep doing it and people keep paying for it.

 

[Tekkawarrior]

Wax on, Wax off

 

[Sonicron]

...that if he completely fucks the Shadow of the Colossus movie the same way he did his previous project,...

They're doing a what now?! Who greenlit this? Oh dear...

Anyway, I'll reserve my judgement on the A-Team movie until after I've seen it, simply because I've been proven wrong in all my prejudice when I went to see Robin Hood yesterday.

I was a bit annoyed at it, even though I'm not that old I can still see how much of a bad thing it is. Though, I don't suppose I was too bothered about it until I saw the joint advert between Orange and the new A-Team. You know, those ones in the cinema where it says "don't let a mobile phone ruin your movie"?

They totally sold out. Whores.

You have a very strange, disturbing use of metaphor there, bud. I think you might want to tone it down a bit 'less the Police pay your house a visit simply on principle...

Sting and his band will play a private concert because I used a disturbing metaphor?

Um...what?

LOL

I'm confuuuuuuuuused. D:

No, seriously, what's going on? Did I miss a joke or something?

 

[ace_of_something]

Technically your childhood is a minor and cannot file a police report. Your childhood's parents did that.

I remember watching the A-Team at a very young age and thinking it was stupid. Though in all fairness that's probably because it wasn't a cartoon.

Sting the musican was in a band called 'the police'. This shows how young you are that you didn't get the joke.
(or how old everyone else is)

This has brought be back down to a realistic level after my high from the new Might Morphin' Power Rangers thread. If its anything like any other Bay movie it'll have nothing to do with the original apart from names (no one ever mentions the date in the Friday 13th remake do they?).

But i want to see Neeson do a comeback after his meh acting in Clash of the Titans

 

[Snownine]

Ok, Dragonball Evolution. I grew up with that franchise and I absolutely REFUSE to see that movie. The things I have heard about it makes my trigger finger itch.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Actually, I think the new A-team movie looks qiute good.

Please don't hurt me.

 

[RanD00M]

I'm too young to get fired up over these things.

Give me 20 years and I'll come back to you.

20? I think that 10-15 would be enough for your childhood to be severely rapes by current and future media.

OT:No movie announcement has made me get angry like that.Seeing as how I'm only 16,and most of my childhood is just a blur.I have little memory of my childhood.
