Now that Dimension Films has hired the director of SAW III to helm their remake of Scanners (a thought by itself that makes my brain want to explode), it seems that everything will be remade eventually. Only appropriate then that my good pal Nick Cage is talking about being Seth Brundle in The Fly, another Cronenberg classic. I can't find any evidence that this is any more than just talk, but didn't Cage learn anything from the last horror classic he desecrated ( Mr. Niel "Bitch-Pants" LaBute will get his later) and pissed on? Doesn't Mr. Cage realize that if he was an ice cream flavor he'd be pralines and shitty actor?
Edit (Mar 2, 07) - According to David Cronenberg the remake is in devolopement and Cage is vying for the part. Cronenberg is not involved in the project.

Lost was on it's way out with me until Cheech Marin and the worst wig he's ever worn showed up. It didn't hurt that last night's episode (Tricia Tanaka is Dead) was the best episode I've seen in recent weeks. The show really needs to lighten up, and being Hurley-centric helped this hour pass by without me being overcome by the same feeling I had back when the X-Files started to suck. One episode can't save a show, but it was enought to make me Lost's bitch for one more week.

I've been making a list of responses to the "you're short" remark, which is often the first thing people say when they meet me. My favorite so far is "Yes, ideed I am short. So short that I can not only take Dr. Ruth's sex advice but I can bone her standing up."
Note to my brother: Did you make the face? That's all I need to to know.

I know exactly what face you are talking about! I miss that face already!
PS -- You shouldn't say mean things about Nick Cage. He's pretty.
Dude. How can I not agree. You know how I am about re-makes, re-boots, re-imagines.
Indeed I did make the face! Such an image, oy vey!!
