By the way, what are these “SA” forums? I keep seeing these mentioned, but never what or where they are. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by commie\_sho \* > \*\*Eddie Vedder has also said some outrageously ignorant things in the past. I wouldn’t use anything he’s said as words of wisdom… \*\* I wasn’t aware of that. Most people I’ve ever heard tend to have glowing things to say about the guy when they speak about Eddie Vedder. Oh well… just goes to show how much I know! 😃 ---

Denzel plays the stooge in “The Manchurian Candidate”, and not the Humprey Bogart detective part? Oh no! ---

I followed the link…there’s a whole list of awful ideas for films…which one is the particular problem? 😛 ---

It’s hard, frankly, to give a fiddler’s fuck about some crappy teeny-bopper movie. Like **capacitor** , though, I’m upset by a pointless remake of _The Manchurian Candidate_. _Suspect Zero_, I’ll admit, sounds intruiging. ---

Why the hell would anybody make a remake of **The Stepford Wives**? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by World Eater \* > \*\*Speaking of shitty movies, isn’t Scooby Doo 2 coming out soon? \*\* Hey, I enjoyed Scooby Doo. It was delightfully campy and bizarre, and it was a _major_ departure from the cliches of the actual Scooby Doo cartoon… And the ending… _smiles_ ---

Oh, come on, people, that’s all small potatoes next to the fact that they’ve cast _Jim Carrey_ as Count Olaf! Um, !!! What in all the hells was possessing these people? Oh, right, it’s Hollywood. ---

To me, _Sk8er Boi_ sounds like the title of a gay porn flick. It should be on a double bill with _Buster Goes to Laguna_. ---

I can only hope that they don’t turn that movie into an excuse for Jim Carrey to mug for the camera every second. ---
