1. I will go see it when hell freezes over and thaws out again
but yes you are not delusional. Disney has made a new Herbie movie with Lindsey Lohan (pre-anorexic version) in it.

2. I'll see it.
My 12 year old wants to see it, so I will. I suspect it was made for her age group, more than ours.

3. I was a Herbie freak
as a 'wee' one. I'm sure they'll screw this up though like most of the remakes.

5. Have you seen any of the trailers
Herbie shows an interest in a new VOW bug and Lindsey Lohan dissuades him by telling him that she is to young for him

11. Yeah, that one makes me laugh
It looks about like the older Herbie films, only modernized for current jargon and special effects. Those who think Herbie was some Shakespearean achievement ought to watch the films again. Our parents thought they were just as stupid as we think this new one will be. It was our young minds that make us remember it better.

6. So I just wasted 20 minutes of my life looking this up
But it cost $50 million to make.

Again, how does someone who thinks this is a good investment ascend to a high position in a movie studio???

7. Trust me
The lame ass movie will make over $50 million because all the pre-teens will wanna go see it, so it's a good investment for them I guess.

9. Took you 20 minutes to find that?
Just find the IMDb page and click the "box office & business" link in the column on the left.

12. I'm easily distracted.
But as an aside, I can now tell you what movies Lindsay Lohan, Michael Keaton and Matt Dillion have planned for the next few years.

19. I'll watch the movie if and only if...
Lindsay Lohan washes the car, over and over, in slow motion, for 74% of the movie. By hand.

20. HAha
Apparently Disney had some test audiences watch the film and then decided to digitally shrink her breasts - too much bouncing I guess.
