Cinema Death Watch, part I

I realise a lot proposed remakes and reboots and sequels never get made, but there are still piles that do.

The latest? A remake of Fame, this update starring Kelsey Grammer and Bebe Neurwith. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for seeing Bebe getting her dance on--she's an oustanding dancer--but still... this just has to go on the Cinema Death Watch list. It can't be good, can it? The original was a touchy-feely piece of dreck; the spin-off TV series even more so.

I'm reminded of the old Saturday Night Live parody of the Fame song, sung as "Same! I sing the same song forever..."

Blech.
