Am I the only one here that is pissed that they're remaking Karate Kid? Come the fuck on, enough with the remakes already. It's not even like many remakes where adding in CGI will add things to the movie they couldn't in the original... unless they add in a matrix-esque scene for Danielsan.

Bingo, and you're absolutely not the only one. In fact, I started doing a blog awhile ago when I heard of a remake, and then my blog became useless when I heard it's about Will Smith's son going to Beijing or some shit. Anyway, here's all I had and who knows if I could've gotten to 30 reasons like the plan was, but yeah:
Recently, our buddy Lance Goodthrust at "Bitches Love Smiley Faces" let us know about the plan for a remake of the 1986 classic The Karate Kid. It's one of my favorites. Please, stop laughing at me.
Moving on, a remake of a movie like this is pretty much guaranteed to be a major bust. Let me tell you why a remake is a bad idea and why it can't hold a candle to the original.
30. Nothing beats a drunk Mr. Miyagi.
29. The movie needs a sort of cheesiness in it, especially in the main character. Nobody can be cheesier than Ralph Macchio. Nope, not even Mario Lopez.
28. It's going to be tough to top a young Elisabeth Shue in that mini skirt begging for a bang.
27. Are they going to replace the "crane" technique with some stupid new martial arts move? Again, cheesy is key, and the crane is just that. Nobody wants a mini Jet Li in this movie. It's supposed to be a cinderella karate story about a scrawny white kid that's considered to have no chance, not some martial arts specialist straigh outta Shanghai.
26. What really needs to be changed? This isn't a high tech movie with flying cars, fancy tv's, or kickass weapons, it's karate. It's been the same way since the beginning of time.
25. When they said "Cobra Kai Never Dies", you weren't supposed to take that seriously.
24. Is there a cooler villain than the Cobra Kai sensei John Kreese, played by Martin Kove? "No Mercy". "Sweep The Leg". "You're a pushy little bastard, ain't ya? But I like that. I like that!" If you said Sauron... there's the door.
