I wonder how the NFL plans on marketing this new Vick jersey...

[JackMagist]

Yeah money's good...but I really wasn't saying the new one 'ruined' the old one. In fact, it made me realize just how good the original was.

I was suggesting that perhaps they could have made something more original and could stand on it's own 2 feet as opposed to just remaking it. Having Reynolds reprise his role as Paul Crew...having him tutor some snotty ego maniac punk...old school vs new school...maybe in the end realizing that maybe they were not so different. Even get it down to the new kid asking Crew "if it was worth it" and surprise...he says no.

Coming up with a follow up would in itself get someone today that didn't see the original need to go back and see it so they could understand the entire saga that spanned 30 some years.

An opportunity missed IMO.

I'm with you on this. It would have made a much better movie with your plot. The remake SUCKED...but that is to be expected with a no talent hack like Sandler trying to play a role originally made famous by the greatness of Burt Reynolds.

Eh...I thought the remake was cute.

It was...did you really say "CUTE"?...but yes. However, the original was NOT cute...it was dark and gritty. The original was a story, the remake was a comedy (and not a very good one at that).

Gee, I must be in a minority, because I found moments of the remake to be howlingly funny... Kevin Nash on estrogen just destroyed me, and I liked the role Michael Irvin had... I've played in a few pickup basketball games that were just about that rough, LOL...

I liked both movies just fine...

Yes, I said cute. Cute and funny - oh noes!

I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the original yet, but I'll take your word for it that it's full of dark, gritty testosterone. I'm sure it's a delightful film.

The real reason why Vick took the deal. The jury was revealed.
