Well If All We're Going To Do Is Remake Stuff...

Superman. Not a story but a franchise. As predictable as a McDonalds and just as hard to swallow. Give Lex Luthor a lump of that colour kryptonite that removes his powers permanently, or make Lois Lane his sworn enemy and I might be persuaded to change my mind.

In the myriad ice ages between now and when they finally decide to do something original in Hollywood, here's an idea for a remake.

I'm still waiting for this babe to get her own show. I fell in love with her when I was 9 and you know what they say about first love.

could not make up their minds

that show was completely different each season, nothing like letting the network drive the show instead of the writer/ producers.

If you'll be Marina...

Oh, boy!

I don't think I've ever seen that one. If I had, I'd still be trying to get the cheesy theme song out of my mind!

Rumor has it

Rumor has it there is a Graphic novel out there (and it is out there) that details the arrival of a looooonnnnggg lost cousin. If you remember one of the pods was open.

As for the kryptonite think of this. Zod and the others were close to the home planet when it blew up. No kryptonite was there to cause them any pain. I think that and another overused villain has been played out.

Unless of course they can come up with a better use of Luthor. They are welcome to use Braniac and introduce Kara.

My two cents worth.

Here's one to remake

Remember "Rocky Jones - Space Ranger"? They had the coolest space ships at the time!

Or if they are gonna keep mining this franchise

instead of continuing to go back and forth between Lex Luthor
and the phantom zone gang, the same old familiar elements...

they could branch out into some of the more obscure Superman plotlines
from over the years; with characters like say maybe...
oh I don't know, could they maybe have...
a MERMAID?

Thunderbirds

is a live action remake of a show using puppets. So, why not a live action Stingray

Because

Because the live action remake of Thunderbirds flopped big time. It didn't even make back half of what it cost to make.

I far preferred

to be Lady Penelope, with the country house and pink Roller - 'Parker, hit my G spot!'

A :)

Angharad... James May from Top Gear U.K.

test drove the pink roller, which IS a real car, in one of their episodes. The car was actually made by Ford. Apparently Rolls didn't want to be associated with it.

Lady Penelope

Does anyone remember the episode of Thunderbirds when she was on her way to the airport and the Roller broke down. The chauffeur was under the bonnet and she asked him, "Do you want a screwdriver?"

His reply was "I'd love one Madam, but I don't think we have time."

This Was Texted To Me Anonymously A While Ago

Lady Penelope: Parker, remove my dress.
Parker: Yus, m'lady.
Lady Penelope: Now remove my stockings.
Parker; Yus, m'lady.
Lady Penelope: Now remove my bra and panties.
Parker: Yus, m'lady.
Lady Penelope: And Parker...
Parker: Yus, m'lady?
Lady Penelope: If I ever catch you wearing my clothes again...

Don't worry, I know where the door is.
