Hollyweird Ruined Land Of The Lost…

From Michelle Malkin:
Over at Big Hollywood, Mark Corallo explains how and why his 11-year-old son gave the best advice possible to parents who may be considering taking their kids to see the movie version of Land of the Lost, starring Will Ferrell: Wa…

Remakes of any legendary tv show will always be disappointing to outright pathetic. I grew up on the Sid and Marty Krofft tv shows like Land of the Lost. To this day I still mouth off Land of the Lost one liners that my friends love to immitate during moments of awkward silence. “Will! Holly! Grab the yellow and green crystals!” “Ta, Sa, quit picking on Chalka”. Or we would shout phrases using words/language created for the Pakuni (Chalka’s tribe)…. Yo So Rissi Takka. I bought the DVD’s they day they were issued. You cannot remake a classic.

Will Ferrell are the only two words you need to see to know that a movie is not worth going to, and definately not one to bring your children to.

TCM. The only thing Ted Turner did right.

Well, I did like Ferrell in Blades of Glory which was an adult movie but also very funny. It is true that he has left his Elf days far behind, which is a shame, but the failure of Land of the Lost, the movie, was the result of many contributors. Just look through the reviews in RottenTomatoes.com. In any event, there are good movies out there. Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino early this year was one of the best. Please check it out when you have time. Currently Up is quite good and for the whole family as well -- though it suffer's from Pixar's half-movie syndrome, the first half is great, then in the second devolves into cliche action adventure. What can I say? Times are tough, even in the movie business. You just have to search out the good stuff.

Will Ferrell seems to play the same part no matter the movie or the plot. In my view, he’s single dimensional and not very talented.

Sounds like you folks should go to church instead of the movies.

While you’re at it, you should read your bibles instead of watching tv, or surfing the net.

Actually, “Land of the Lost” was a bad show in almost every way.

Hollywood has remade (and ruined) so much of the good stuff that it now has to resort to remaking (and ruining) the bad.

Will Ferrell is OK, as long as he’s administered in very small doses.

They too would take exception to gratuitous sex in a kids’ movie.

I haven’t been over to look, but has anyone over there objected to Letterman making a joke about Palin’s 14 year old and a baseball player? Have you objected?

Corallo admits he didn't bother to look at the movie's rating or summaries of what's in it. Exhibit A in parental malpractice As I noted in my review of the movie, it's not only full of four-letter words and sexual crap, it's just a stupid movie a three year old could have written.

Another classic property ruined by Hollywood.

I saw what they did to Dukes of Hazzard! Didn’t even bother to see Bewitched.

This does not bode well for movie versions of Knight Rider and The A-Team that are being planned! So far the casting of A-Team seems acceptable, so far.

Hollywood doesn’t seem to understand why these properties were popular in the first place.

I also dislike Ben Stiller, who ruined Starsky and Hutch, but Night at The Museum does look good.

Did anyone see David Duchovny on The Tonight Show this week?

That reminds me, I need to give Tia Leoni a call, see what she’s up to.
