Hollywood's done it again, announcing a re-make of a film that is perfectly fine as it is: The Princess Bride . We've heard rumours of a Dirty Dancing re-make, and I think Top Gun was another one. And now, they want to bastardise yet another 1980s favourite that DOESN'T NEED A RE-MAKE, putting Paul Rudd in Cary Elwes's shoes. IT'S NOT ON. Just because you can't think of anything new to do, you have to go back and butcher innocent, unsuspecting cult classics? "A re-make?" "Inconcievable!" Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya), BLESS HIM, is not amused. I'm expecting Inigo to appear, sword in hand, saying words to the effect of "My name is Inigo Montoya. You're killing an awesome film. Prepare to die!" [ EDIT: Apparently, THANK GOODNESS, this was a false alarm. They were just gathering a cast to do a script reading in a library or something.] So what other classic 1980s films could Hollywood's greed decide to fuc...
