Turns out it was too good to be true

Attention everyone: the Apocalypse snuck up on us over Easter.

The end is nigh. Be on the look out for four horsemen. I am outraged. I am sad. I am confused.

Why would somebody do this?



WHY????

Why would you remake the awesome 10 things I hate about you into a crappy TV show ten years after it was released? I do not understand.

The girl who plays Kat does not look capable of kicking a guy in the balls and then saying that he kicked himself in the balls. The boy who plays Patrick looks like a Jonas brother. And Bianca? How dare you replace Alex Mack! SHE HAS A SECRET WORLD! (Is that show on DVD yet?) Bogey Lowenstein isn't even mentioned in the new cast list - will Nigel still bring the brie?!

Why yes I have seen this movie 9 million times. How did you guess?

How can they top this moment:

The real rub of it all? The TV show is being directed by the same guy who directed the movie. Kat's father is being played by the same actor too.

Still, it's going to be wretched. For those of you who want to rewatch the film it's here on YT. For me, this will always be Heath Ledger's best work.

Oh, man, this looks AWFUL. But you're right--HOW DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE? Ugh!

(Is that show on DVD yet?)

And, yes, the first season is. :)

Larry Miller--are you that poor right now? I'm sure the residuals from every Gary Marshall movie should be more than enough to keep you happy. CRAP!

There was also a Ferris Bueller TV series. (As well as the late, great "Parker Lewis Can't Lose.")

And I know this sounds sacrilegious, but I think it'd be possible to make an awesome TV series out of "The Breakfast Club."

So, "10 Things"... I dunno. In the right hands: potentially awesome with the awesome potential of all cracktastic sequels. More likely though, you're right, and it will be horrible, and we can all take consolation in the fact that it will be quickly canceled. =)

Ewwww.

Well, it could possibly be good, but I'm guessing no. Cutting Edge 3 no.
