U.S. radio host Howard Stern has signed on as executive producer of a new version of Porky's, Empire magazine reported on its Web site Tuesday.

The original Porky's, out in 1982, was a surprise box office hit that spawned sequels and imitators, including the American Pie films, all of which centered on 1950's nostalgia, naked women and embarrassing bodily functions.

The new film will be written by Craig Moss, who wrote Saving Ryan's Privates, and Steve Schoenburg, writer of Legion of Iron and Alien Warrior.

Stern's prior feature film experience includes his autobiographical Private Parts.

Thanks. It's a LOT more friendly posting over here ;-) Vicki's mainly interested in posting about Stern's hypocrisy. OTOH, I was attempting to combat Stern's daily anti-Bush misinformation as well as what similarly was going on in the newsgroup.

You're not going to find a Thespian with the range of a Dan Monahan or the emotive genius of Mark Herrier. The way Wyatt Knight held the audience captive in the famous "Gas Station Scene" will never be duplicated.

How can you overlook the best performance of the entire film? Kim Cattrall as "Lassie" simply steals every scene in which she appears. Truly, not since Lon Chaney, Jr. played Lenny in "Of Mice and Men" has there been such a sensitive and moving portrayal of the mentally deficient as this. This is truly a performance for the ages...

I use to listen to Stern all the time. Now, not at all. I know so many people who no longer listen. It will be really interesting to see his ratings next time around.

Re the ratings, it's hard to figure. He may be drawing in the Democrat-activist &/or pro-Kerry crowd. I listen a lot less frequently & mostly out of (bad) habit.

Have to see what period of time this covers. Hard to believe people turn in for non stop redundancy.

It's probably 1st quarter of 2004. As I'd guessed earlier, it's bringing the libs, dems & Bush haters out of the woodwork...plus with all his free publicity, others tune in to see what all the fuss is about :-(
