The Princess Bride is a classic film, a national treasure that should be handed down through the ages, but according to Variety Sony is talking about a Princess Bride remake. My head nearly exploded when I heard this. Here is my rant.
$5 Footlong gay jokes?
Wait. I thought it was already out.
“Once upon a Deadpool” even had Fred Savage being read the story.
Millennials take over Hollywood, have no creative talent, and just raid old titles (made with heart and that actually have meaning to people that grew up on it), all for a cheap cash grab.
Have Mel Brooks write the screenplay and direct it.
Princess Bride is an unrepeatable masterpiece.
The meathead is indeed a meathead in EVERY respect save for that movie and Spinal Tap.
And - Sleep soundly and dream of large women.
Watch the video -— VERY CLOSE!!!
Just imagine the era of 1968-1999 when you just had amazing movies being created, some with next to no budget and 1/1000th the access to the resources + tech that a YouTube video today can obtain...
Now look with all of the tech + the resources of mega corporations, this sad ass sight.
People can tell amazing stories and have them fully realized on-screen. But they opt for this? Remakes???
I just looked at a list of possible remakes...They had “Road House” and was going to have Ronda Rousey in Patrick Swayze’s role...
GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a mighty duel.
They were both hipsters, and the latte fight ranged all over.
The winner ran off toward Gilder ashamed of his masculinity.
The loser entered a ptsd support group.
Imagine a world where Commodore honchos were early on convinced that the way to build market share was with repeat success within a line through constant yet backwards compatible improvement rather than a completely new and incompatible line every couple of years?
Is nothing sacred?
Storming the palace would be a gay pride parade.
“Hallo! My name is Inigx Montoya! My pronouns are Xe and Xem. You killed my non-gender-binary parental unit. Prepare to die!”
It just doesn’t have the same soul to it.
The second thing I don't get is why this movie. The basis of the movie is a grandfather reading a story to his grandson who is home and apparently recovering from illness. The story the grandfather reads is acted out in the movie, and the grandfather's voice becomes a background narration to the events. Neat technique. The problem I foresee here is the story is chock full of things the left now virulently, even violently opposes. I just can't see leftist Hollywood making a story full of: heterosexual love, yet nothing steamier than a chaste kiss; people called out, even labeled for or by their unique abilities, the Spaniard, the giant, the wizard...too much cultural appropriation and stereotyping! I mean heck, the whole plot is full of toxic masculinity, climbing ropes, dueling, fending off ROUSes...a MAN saving the princess!
As others have pointed out (correctly I believe) the story line is too full of things the left cannot tolerate. (so much for tolerance ironically) So it will be re-written into a farcical, even grotesque story you'd never read to your kids. I won't even speculate on how they will twist it, but you know it will get twisted, with the heros and villains recast to suit the current leftist agenda, and the characters morphed into whatever sick demographics they feel like promoting.
Peter Griffin will not be happy!
"Road House!"
That video had a lot of info.
That’s obviously taken from a longer work. Do you know what it is?
They just remake/copy old classics and put in some PC propaganda.
Wonder what the message will be? Ughhh.
Ok... Let’s talk cast:
Westley - Justin Bieber
Buttercup - Taylor Swift
Inigo Montoya - Johnny Dep
Vizzini - Clark Middleton
Miracle Max - Mike Myers
Fezzik - Brock Lesner
Prince Humperdinck - Ben Stiller
The Grandson - Zackary Arthur
The Grandfather - Jon Voight
The Albino - Ricky Gervais
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
I don’t remember the original title of the longer film from which “Everything Is a Remake” was extracted.
I remember that by the time you finished you were a little depressed, totally convinced that EVERY film you have ever liked was actaully a remake, or some type of ripoff of something else.
