They should combine Grease with another hit from 1978....The Deer Hunter.

They could call it Deer Grease.

I’d pay good money to see Danny shoot Sandy and bring her home on the hood of Greased Lightning.

The sequel to Grease was crap. Why can’t Hollywood leave a classic movie alone? It’s not like they don’t have countless books/stories for inspiration.

I always cringe when they cast 30+ year olds as 16 year olds.

It will have a black lead, and homos as the supporting characters.

Pass.

Mad Men was an accurate portrayal of the sixties.
I was there and did that.

We’ll find out everyone in Grease was actually gay.

Hollywood died a few years ago. Absolutely no ability to make any sort of worthwhile new idea movies. The last real movie it made was The Matrix.

But it’s in line with the rest of the country. NASA is now incapable of even making its own rockets, it has to be outsourced to China.

Image result for strangers with candy

You almost describe my favorite sitcom,
Strangers with Candy, which, if you haven't
seen yet, you probably shouldn't.

The most fun musical ever made with so many well written songs. The closing musical sequence was best.

Travolta: "I've got chills, they're multiplying, and I'm losing control. Cause the power you're supplyin ...it's electrafying, electrafyin."

Newton: "You better shape up, cause I need a man, and my heart is set on you. You better shape up, you better understand. To my heart I must be true."

Travolat: "Nothing left, nothing left for me to do."

You're the one that I want...ooh, ooh, ooh, honey.

Newton: "If you feel an affection and to shy to convey. Meditate in my direction, feel your way."

Travolat: "I better shape up...

I’m putting you in for an Academy Award for best script.

I wonder if I can do that online?

and homos as the supporting characters.

Well, the original already did that. Particularly gay was the shop scene. The funhouse scene had a high level of gayness, as well.

Why don't the producers just drive by a dumpster and throw their money in? Or remake "Ghostbusters" with three ugly women? Or invest in solar energy companies?

I mean, if you're trying to lose money, there are easier ways.

Prequel to Grease?

Didnt they do a sequel already?

Hated that movie so much as a kid, I’m rooting for them to make it as a sick act of revenge for all the times I had to watch it, because I know it will suck.
