You just know some young shitbag fuckwit hipster with hair on his chin is gonna remake Citizen Kane

[Rabrrrrrr]

Some fucking moran idiot who thinks he's "all that" because he has a hairy chin and sideburns (but no mustache or beard), and probably wears a beret like his favorite drummer from whatever faux-Alternative shit band is Very Very Popular at the moment, will - I predict within 5 years - think he has the ability to out-art Orson Welles and will redo Citizen Kane.

I guarantee it.

Someone who's far more interested in *looking* like an artist than actually being one; a kind of magic that MTV made so powerfully possible.

Kinda like one of these jackoffs:

[WildEyedLiberal]

1. Who's in the second pic?

They look douchey

[redqueen]

2. I'm sure you're right.

But... who ARE those people?

:shrug:

[JVS]

3. You mean like this

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. That's great!

:rofl:

[irish.lambchop]

4. "shitbag fuckwit hipster with hair on his chin" -

I like it! May I borrow that for a moment?

[alphafemale]

5. Who are the freaks with the shiny red ties? Flock of Seagulls band members are somewhere saying...

Dudes, that's some weird ass hair.

And the Alfalfa/Hitler hyrid is wearing a skeleton glove?

What is he...12?

[WildEyedLiberal]

6. I'm pretty sure that's My Chemical Romance

Shitty "goth" emo band.

I want to know who the d-bags in pic 2 are...

[Ekirh]

9. Yah I concur that's MCR

Only cause one of my good friends loves them . . .

yah. . .

the 2 picture driving me nuts, cause I feel I know who they are.. just cna't pin point it.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

7. That would take

some serious balls...

And an idiot executive producer.

[JVS]

10. Some Idiot remade Psycho

[Downtown Hound]

24. Shot for shot too

How utterly brilliant is that?

:eyes:

[GRLMGC]

8. That would be pointless

but, I too, can see some asshat doing that.

[baldguy]

11. Look on the bright side - at least they wouldn't give it a happy ending.

[Taverner]

12. Thing about it is - where is there to go?

Orson Welles' Kane was a perfect movie - there is nothing more to add.

Perfect story + perfect director.

[Lady Effingbroke]

13. I didn't know Carrot Top was in a band!

(pic #1).

[greatauntoftriplets]

14. If it ever happens -- and I really hope it doesn't....

I'd LOVE to read Roger Ebert's review.

[Tektonik]

15. those people aren't hip

:shrug:

[DS1]

16. oh look, it's a really short angry teenaged Billy Corgan

with hair, and the all douchebag revue featuring Count Vinegar

[Tian Zhuangzhuang]

17. It can't be worse than that Psycho remake. nt

[JVS]

18. You know, I'm beginning to grow fond of you

[RetroLounge]

33. Too bad he's been tombstoned

:rofl:

RL

[alphafemale]

19. Your avatat has never been more apropos

I laughed.

[mockmonkey]

20. It's about time

Not one bloody car crash in the original and it's in black and white. I see Eddie Murphy as Kane because he really is a serious actor. He needs a buddy though. What's Joe Piscopo doing nowadays? And if Piscopo is busy get that other sexy hunk of man muscle Carrot Top!

They can't use "rosebud" that's too gay for the likes of a star like Eddie. They could set it in the future and when he dies his last word could be Wii, that gets some product placement for Nintendo plus it gets the ball rolling on what did it mean? Did he mean "wee" as in tiny or "Oui" or "wee" as in he had to pee.

Of course in the end our star isn't really dead, he faked his death because...because...it doesn't really matter because he then changes into many zany disguises because he is trying to find some terrorists...or something.




Oh, and there is a talking dog that works for the CIA.

Damn, make my dream a reality!

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. And there needs to be a naked woman covered in gold paint

Preferably three of them. And they should be addicted to Heroin, but also hold the secret to the terrorist's secret hideout tattoed on their chests, but they have to be skinned first to be able to make the map.

[KamaAina]

21. Actually I heard Ron Howard had signed on to the project

:P

Hey, at least he's not young, or a hipster -- and he doesn't even have hair on his head!

[Danger Mouse]

22. yeah, i'm sure, because that's just one classic that hasn't yet been violated eight ways from sunday

shitty clueless hipster douchebags won't be satisfied until they've completely desecrated every work of cinematic art ever created by trying to 'update' it or make it 'cool.'
i fucking hate hipsters. they need to die by fire.

[Rabrrrrrr]

29. God, I wish I had written that. You bring tears to my eyes.

Perfect!

Absolutely correct!

[Danger Mouse]

32. There's nothing I hate more than

movie remakes and films based on lame tv shows.
For the most part, cover songs suck, too.
Many people think they can re-make a classic and pay proper tribute to it. They can't. All they can do is remind people of why they liked the original so much in the first place, and then piss them off for ruining a perfectly good piece of art that didn't NEED updating.
This is something Americans just LOVE to do. We always need to make it bigger, better, faster, LOUDER.
Jazz it up. Throw in some cuss words and some sex. A few explosions.
:puke:

[recoveringdittohed]

23. Rosebud - NT

[regnaD kciN]

25. And he'll "update" it to the present day...

...with a soundtrack of "the hottest new hits." :eyes:

[begin_within]

26. It will be called "Citizen Murdoch"

[Sugar Smack]

30. "Cool" people don't smile.

:D

[Oeditpus Rex]

31. Spike Lee will do it

He'll retitle it "Rosebud Hate Me" and it'll have lines like "You provide the beatbox, I'll provide the niggaz, yo."

[BlooInBloo]

34. Yah - that's the only kind of thing black folks say, or black writers write about.
