I'm sick of the 1970s:
4/30/04
Strike 1:
I read today that Billy Bob Thorton will be staring in a remake of
The
Bad News Bears. My first thought was: It's kind of cool that the Bad News Bears are coming back. My second thought
was: Yuck! Billy Bob? Eeew. My third thought was: How much schlock of the 1970s has to be remade into new schlock?
Strike 2:
I guess the 2000s will be remembered as the 1970s revival. It started early with the
Charlie's
Angels remake which was enjoyable and unique. Since then we've had the sequel:
Full
Throttle,
Starsky and Hutch, and the
recent Battlestar Galactica miniseries.
Strike 3:
We're not quite a third into this decade but with the TV shows becoming films, music trying to capture
that oh so melodious lame sound of the 70s ballads, and the hip-hugging bell bottoms making a comeback, it's going to be
a long and ugly decade.
