I know there's long been talk of making a film or television adaptation of it

I think it's more than talk now.

There's other evidence to suppose that civilization will continue past 2012, at least in Hollywood.

Since i have a student discount, i'm thankful that AMC just bought out Loews. With AMC i can see a showing for $6.75 instead of $8.75. Is it bad that I see $7 as a good price for a movie. Anyway, my friends and I didn't have much to do so we went to the theater. With out $2 discount we bought tickets for Date Movie . Now i know, this isn't going to be Oscar quality, but i felt since we had so little to do we could laugh at some totally stupid shit for a while. But seriously, what the fuck was that? I understand that the movie is going to be bad and stupid, but seriously, this was beyond belief. For those who aren't familiar, it is from the people who made Scary Movie, and basically makes fun of all the date/romantic comedies from the past short while. The first problem was, half the movie was Meet The Parents/Fockers. Second, most of the time, they didn't even change the dialogue of what was going on, they would just have a tiny twist and hope it was enough. i.e. "I have nipples (whatever his name was), can you milk me?" He then lifts his shirt up and shows he has 8 nipples. Holy shit! Alert the press, Eddie Griffin is half cat! The second problem was, there wasn't a plot. It was a bunch of changed clips, thrown together with softcore porn in the middle. There were other problems too numerous to mention, but here's the kicker. The movie was just over an hour. Thankfully, this let us out in time to sneak into 16 Blocks , which I am sorry will not get the money for our viewing. While most of this post will be lost on the fact that there are already too many comments to read, i did find a list of stuff being remade of recent and upcoming. . Yeah... it's disgusting.

Off topic, but it was widely reported that the entire cast took pay cuts and that Oceans 12 cost the same to make as Oceans 11.

The movie will have Jonny Bravo (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) looking for his long-lost father in a coming-of-age action-comedy. It marks the first time WB has teamed with sister company Cartoon Network on a live-action feature
