We know how good Tom Hanks used to make us feel when we were 8 and he was rolling on the couch at a crazy bachelor party or eating that tiny salad corn like corn on the cob because he was a child in a grown man's body. And this movie represents the pinnacle of early Hanks-ness: magical, silly and utterly poignant. But now apparently they want to take all that away from us!! I just found out on Defamer that freaking Cameron Crowe is going to re-make this lovely slice of tropical heaven, sullying everything that is pure by involving Ben Stiller. Stiller was never magical! He was never even really funny, except maybe the concept of him being a superhero named Mr. Furious in Mystery Men was funny, but then when you actually watch the movie it's like whatever.

meanwhile writer/director John Patrick Shanley is now making big important things like plays about catholic priest molestation starring phillip seymour hoffman
...i just love the idea that somewhere out there someone is still lying to himself saying that every remake is only done because the director really feels like he has some kind of new take on the material
like... you've seen joe vs. the volcano... but have you ever seen joe vs. the volcano where ben stiller gets hit in the balls? NO!
