One of the best things about avoiding a Will Smith film is no Will Smith, but he's trying to make a whole new generation loathe the Smith name.
The word in Hollywood is that the cartoon-rapper turned actor is developing a vehicle for his nine year old to star in -- a remake of The Karate Kid. I got two words: fuck that.
I won't call the 1984 film sacred, but there's just some movies you should never remake from the 80's. Ferris Buller's Day Off and The Breakfast Club come to mind, too. Pat Morita is Mr. Miagyi, but if casting rumors are true, you can enjoy yourself a little Jackie Chan. This just continues to get worse.
Elisabeth Shue, Billy Zakba, hell, even Martin Kove -- this movie was perfectly cast and put together like only a slick 80's movie could be. And I don't care if Jaden Smith is doing Hamlet in Central Park, the magic of Ralph Macchio as Daniel is that he was a scrawny dork - no acting required. If they ever greenlight this thing, I hope they spend $100 million and bomb at the box office.
Watch this...you can't improve on it.

And while I'm at it, check out Sweep The Leg Johnny...they were an underexposed band with a raw sound, somewhere between Morphine and Turing Machine. This guy made a fanvid to one of their tunes, so there...
