Battle Royale remake

Why the hell are they remaking this right now. The original just came out a few years ago, and even then it wasn't very good. Maybe this time they can do it right: I'm talking about Rambo vs. Ash Williams vs. El Mariachi vs. The Man With No Name vs. Frank Zappa himself (note: Frank Zappa will win). Or if they can't afford that, at least give us a villain who doesn't look like an even more effeminate version of David Bowie.

Yes, the satan-worshipping vampire nazis at the production studio are sitting around their table sipping glasses of blood, diabolically twisting their mustaches and asking themselves "How exactly can we butcher this by Americanizing it?" just to antagonize waps all over the world.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thank god, I thought I was the only one. Basically, this is half a movie. There is action but no badass hero or plot. It's like the counterpart for Escape from New York (which was plenty badass but had almost no action).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The film has nothing to do with race at all, so they're rewriting the entire script now with a racial subplot? Even if they did, when has any film had such an influence as to provoke school shootings and racial tension? I think it would be a filmmaker's dream to have that kind of power.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
