HOLY CRAP. Seriously, this no less than the third time "The Neverending Story" has come into my life this week. I cannot explain the ire I have after reading this. Like "WHY THE FUCK DOES HOLLYWOOD RUIN EVERYTHING I GREW UP WITH" mad. The only only only way this could possibly work is if the guy who did "Hellboy" gets all his "Pan's Labyrinth" weirdos on it. Otherwise, just don't do it. Seriously, what is with this town's infatuation with resurrecting things? There is dignity in death! I realize dignity is one thing Hollywood doesn't really value, but COME ON! Leave it alone.
What made this movie so great was the fact that it is so weird. Weirdness, mind you, that cannot be replicated by a big studio budget of today. I just have this awful feeling that it will be sanitized and starring someone like Drake Bell as Atreyu.
So, that's the only time I'm going to show my true dork colors this week.
On a lighter note, Ang Lee is going to direct "Life of Pi," my favorite book ever. So when I get really pissed off about the previous atrocity, I will think of this to calm me down.
