Is there any reason to think the new Pink Panther movie won't suck?

[democracyindanger]

I can't come up with one.

I'll bet a gazillion dollars some reviewer somewhere will call it "The Stink Panther."

[jpgray]

Both that and the remake of "When A Stranger Calls" are incomprehensible

The only potential is for tarnishing the memories.

3. Negative Attitude

Negative.

[jpgray]

7. When Limp Bizkit is remaking a Who song, you don't need an open mind

This is a similar situation.

[Hissyspit]

12. EVERYTHING is a remake nowadays!

I was at the megaplex and 13 of the 15 movies were based on a TV show or an earlier movie or something like that.

1. Relax. Enjoy movies. Don't pre-judge.

Take it easy and keep an open mind.

6. I don't know if I like this kinder, gentler Floogeldy.

13. ROFLMAO!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Initech]

2. It will. I'd personally rather watch the old Peter Sellers movies.

[Floogeldy]

5. But you haven't seen the new one yet.

Negative speculation. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

[zone]

4. I like to watch

There's only one Peter Sellers, I can feel it in my buns...

[sasquatch]

8. Oh yeah, well the producers bet you a BRAZILLION DOLLARS it won't

[Fox Mulder]

9. Beyonce is in it...so it automatically sucks.

[zone]

10. maybe not

I can feel it in her buns...

[jobycom]

14. ROFLMAO!!

Oh, too classic!

[jobycom]

15. I see that as an argument for it, not against it.

Steve Martin, though... man, he was funny at one time. LA Story is so underrated. I guess maybe he's getting paid now for doing good stuff back then.

[henslee]

11. It's produced by same guy who made Problem Child and Happy Gilmore...

how could it not be oscar material.

[EstimatedProphet]

16. Steve Martin is one reason

IMO he does still have it. I can't think of a better person to do the role now.

[democracyindanger]

17. I think Martin's great.

I think Kevin Kline is great.

I think Jean Reno is great.

But if the trailers are any indication, 90% of the movie will be Steve Martin falling down. I don't hold out any hope that there will be any "Do you have a mes-SAGE for me?" moments.

20. Martin's great, but he's no Peter Sellers

Which kills this in my mind. Let good movies stand, dammit!

(That comes from someone who liked 2/3 of the SW prequels, so I don't know if you should take my advice).

[A-Schwarzenegger]

18. Maybe the worst parts of the movie are in the trailer.

There's always hope.

[Robeson]

19. It's like remaking Citizen Kane. What's the point?.....

...Why screw with a true classic? A facsimile of a classic, is still a facsimile. :shrug:
