A Yogi Bear Movie?!?

I had forgotten that this was in the works, and now that I'm seeing adverts for it, my rage builds again.

Do we really need this? I understand that Hollywood is relying on name recognition nowadays, but seriously, there's got to be better franchises out there. I'm not a huge fan of cartoons about anthropomorphic talking animals recreated in CG with live actors (Garfield, The Chipmunks, etc.)

I mean, they could have taken the money they used to create BooBoo in one scene, and given it to a charity or hospital. (Or given it to me.)

We would have such a good time

I recently had a dream that I was drinking buddies with Richard Belzer. When I woke up, I was very disappointed to realize it was only a dream, and he and I never got together at Arnold's Bar and had a beer together. 

They Have a Lot in Common

WALL-E and R2D2 should hang out.

We've all done it

I just sneezed and fired an not-insignificant-sized glob of snot onto my arm. I'm honestly surprised that much mucus was hiding in my nasal passages.

I'm not even annoyed I had to wash my entire forearm in the sink. I'm actually kinda impressed.

'Running Man'

So I just re-watched "The Running Man" with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fun action flick from the late 80's. It's got two fights in the first 5 minutes, so you know it's good. Not to mention his one-liners. (Saying a Bad Guy "Had to split" after cutting him in half? Priceless.)

Why hasn't Hollywood remade this gem? I'd actually like to see that., truth be told. It has a lot of themes that register with today's audience: reality shows, government 'control', spandex.

Who's with me? Who would like to see a "Running Man" remake?

Maybe I should lay off the Modern Warfare 2 before bed

Just fyi, playing Call of Duty, then going to bed and reading Harry Potter will give you some messed up dreams.
