Say It Ain't So!

MATT DAMON - DAMON AND AFFLECK TO REMAKE CLASSIC WESTERN: "Best pals MATT DAMON and BEN AFFLECK are teaming up on the big screen again to remake BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID.

The actors will take on the roles made famous by PAUL NEWMAN and ROBERT REDFORD in the 1969 classic.

Damon will reportedly play the Sundance Kid, while Affleck will recreate Newman's role as Butch Cassidy, according to America's OK! magazine."

Actually, the movie's going to be called "Butch & Sundance: The Really, Really Early Days." Affleck is taking on the role Tom Berenger made famous, while Damon will fill William Katt's august shoes. Rumor has it that Damon's character is given a magical suit of buckskin by a mysterious shaman, a suit that allows the wearer to spirit walk and ward off the white man's bullets... but he loses the instructions on how to work it, and hilarity ensues!

Perhaps then, they'll remake Brokeback Mountain.

I didn't understand anyone remaking The Goodbye Girl. I don't get why anyone would remake this one. The originals were so very good. What's going on in Hollywood with all the remakes?

This is truly horrible.

Because not only is Hollywood out of ideas, they still think their good enough to re-do some of the best movies ever made.

What's worse are the movies made from old TV shows. I'm sure some time in the next few months we'll hear that 'The Jeffersons' and 'Chico and the Man' are going to be made into movies.

Then, movie versions of commercials. Starring Lindsay Lohen and one of the former Backstreet Boys.
