That's funny, Tom Cruise' son Conner!  I thought it was illegal to buy people these days!  My wife and I were looking to adopt about 15-16 years ago and were willing to take just about any child we could.  The waiting list was seven years long!  These holywierd folks make a phone call and drop a hundred large and PRESTO!  Fatherhood....

Disgusting.

Whose the invading force going to be?

Pelosi and her MoveOn.org hoard?

Sometimes when Hollywood can't find a marketable creative element, they remake an otherwise great movie.

I'll be optimistic for now.

I doubt it will stand up to the original.

Exactly!  Ralph Waldo Emerson, critiquing American literature, said there were two ways to make a classic. Either improve on an as yet unperfected form, ( Ruger) to use a gun analogy, or create something wholly new (Glock). Anything else would be a pale imitation, or on its best day an echo of a masterpiece. Why bother? Red Dawn was not a great movie as far as acting and cinematography goes. What made it great was that it captured the feelings of a a generation. There is no one who came of age in the 1980s that hasn't seen that movie and identified with it. How the hell are you going to reproduce that and why? Its like the Jesus Jones song, Right Here Right Now that they released after the Wall came down. If you weren't there, you don't get it, if you were you remember being glued to the TV screen (in my case with a bunch of Army officers who were drinkinking straight from the bottle).

Link to Jesus Jones is below, you're riveted and made giddy (and more than a little pissed by wasted oppotunities) by this song if you were alive and aware at the time, if not, its just a pop song.

Thanks Tom, now I'm wondering if it's the "blue helmets" to "invade" and save the country from those Bible carrying, gun totin' ruffians.

As I said earlier, the movie DID capture the mindset of our generation ( us both pushing forty, TW). You, me and everyone we went to high school with can still be rallied by someone yelling WOLVERINES! Granted, we might not rally as fast, but we'll mean well. ;D

Hopefully, that's a good thing.  An "unknown" cast may result in a remake that more closely resembles the original instead of a star-driven tour de crap.  This cast would also be more consistent with the original, since (Swayze, Sheen) had not yet achieved "star" status when the original was made.  That is, if memory serves me correctly.  :)

Same as video games and comics, not that I read the latter, you want to introduce it to a new generation.  As long as you RESPECT the original than I don't mind remakes.
