Why must you ruin a good thing?

So as we all know Will Smiths snot nosed son is the new Karate Kid and Jackie Chan is the new Mr. Miyagi. If its not bad enough that they are remaking one of the greatest movies ever, they have replaced one of the greatest songs from a movie ever:

I'm pissed they are remaking the movie at all. I don't know how you can get better than Ralph Macchio, Elizabeth Shue and Pat Morita, how you can get a more awesome montage than the one you posted above, how you have a more relevant outsider-comes-of-age story, how you get better and more iconic than wax-on, wax-off, crane technique with Jackie Chan, Justin Bieber and Spawn of Fresh Prince. What part of my adolecense are you going to ruin next, Hollywood?

I know this is sacriledge, but I have never watched any of the Karate Kid movies. They seemed, well, lame.

But I saw the previews for this one and it looks very exciting. I think I will break down and watch this one, for the scenery alone.

We saw the previews with our friend who has a black belt in everything, and he was highly amused that it is still karate kid even though in the movie they appear to be doing gung fu.

It appears Hollywood ran out of ideas a long time ago. Now they just remake old movies and make them worse.

What I hate is the movie is called Karate Kid. But they're in f'ing China and Jackie Chan is teaching him Kung Fu? Why not call the damn thing The Kung Fu Kid?

This is so blasphemous.

Edit: Katy made me a hack.

I think you could certainly do better than the version of Elizabeth Shue in the Karate Kid. Elizabeth Shue from Adventures in Babysitting, well that's another story.

The original Karate Kid was a great movie.

They show it in the MTC. How can it not be a great movie?

I can promise you that Beibar will never walk through fire. As such, he should not sing about it.

This is a true disgrace.

Wait, they're moving it to LA? Ugh.

Elizabeth Shue from The Saint (not a great movie, to be sure, but she got hot!) would be my pick. But there was something endearing and very high school-ish about the chunky ES in Karate Kid. That role was a great fit for her.

For those of you who like your babes with brains, ES is a Harvard grad.

Never heard of that one.

Never heard of the original? It's a cult classic.

Yep. As if remaking it isn't bad enough, Tony Scott found a way to make the situation worse.
