What Is The Meaning Of This?!

I'm in L.A. now, so just give me the signal and I'll run through Warner Bros. studio screaming like a mad bitch asking them to stop the fucking madness! Stop it before more people's childhood memories are destroyed!!!! They are planning to remake the fucking NeverEnding Story! Does Falkor have a face that looks like it wants to be remade. It is perfect in every way already.

My 5-year-old self wants to come back and slap a whore or fifty. This has fucking ruined my day.

So, yeah, The Hollywood Reporter (via Coming Soon) says WB is in early stages to remake the 1980s classic that changed lives! Okay, it felt like that back then. WB plans to give it a modern twist. Let's all call up Warner Bros. and ask them how it feels to kill something beautiful. Because that's what they are doing! This is shit. You know they are going to get the Trannycat Dolls to cover the theme song. Lucifer, no. I just gave them an idea. WHY?! That is seriously one of my favorite songs of all-time and forever. If you ever need to feel gay, play that shit.

On a positive note, Kim from The Really Broke Housewives of Atlanta will be able to pay her website bill soon. Her broke down dog wig is a LOCK for the role of Falkor.

Please watch this clip below of Kids Inc. singing one of the greatest songs of all time. I'm looking to Martika for answers as to why this is happening. Give me answers, Martika!

Remakes in general are sucky. It's all about the special effects which are in itself amazing compared to the stuff of last century. But nothing can compare to Gene Barry in the Original War of the Worlds or Robert Taylor in the Time Machine (did they remake that?) Do love remake of The Blob and The Thing though.

Give me the acting of the old days (even if some of them were really bad it's all about the idea, the suspense the whole concept)

Anyone ever see 'Carnival of Souls' one of the old black and whites they used to play on Saturday afternoon 'Chillerrrrrrr Theaterrrrrrr'

i've always been the only one of my friends to know the words to this crap song and i like it that way.

doesn't anyone realize that the remake will bomb? no matter how much cgi you put in, it will never compare.

but i guess dwayne johnson didn't get this memo when he decided to remake escape to witch mountain. without that asian guy and his awesome van, that movie can only eat shit.

The world is going to hell in a handbasket if they are seriously going to remake "The Neverending Story." Some things just need to be left alone, dammit. I know what's happening: the kids who grew up with that movie are now adults who think they can somehow improve on it. DO NOT.

HOLY SHIT! I FUCKING LOVE YOU MK!! I USED TO WATCH KIDS INC. RELIGIOUSLY WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.. I HAVENT SEEN ANY OF THAT SHIT IN YEARS! (im very easily excitable) AHH THANKS MK, DLISTED IS ALWAYS GOOD FOR A BLAST FROM THE PAST! Ohh and On Topic - I'm sooo SICK of all the 80's remakes..what happened to people having original ideas?? All these butchered "remakes" are making me sad with their teeny bopper-izing..

misskitty's picture

I really cannot take much more of this. First I find out they are re-making Clue, and now the Neverending Story? Seriously, do they have writers in Hollywood? Or can they just not afford good writers with original ideas because they have to pay so-so actors their over-inflated salaries just to get a movie made? What is it about Hollywood's obssesion with re-making perfectly good movies? Remember when they re-made Sabrina? Why, for the love of God, why?!?!?!? Leave the Neverending Story alone!

Ugh... words cannot even begin to express the sadness this brings to my heart!! I have come to terms with franchise additions (ie. Terminator, Indiana Jones) and may be able to accept the Candyland movie but this is unacceptable!!
Apparently this Hollywood fuckery will continue until every last happy memory has been destroyed! They will stop at nothing; our precious Dark Crystals, Last Unicorns, Santa Claus The Movies, UHFs, Spaceballs, Annies and PeeWees Big Adventures are doomed- I fear not even Rainbow Brite is safe.
From now on, anyone who tries to remake a sacred movie of any kind must be assassinated... you have been warned!!

Shit like this is why I go to the cinema about once every five years.

I'm kind of not surprised about this, since I read this a while back:

http://consumerist.com/5110032/bottom-falls-out-of-movie-market.

But that doesn't mean that I'm not nautious (dammit, I can never spell that word!) with rage.

There was another movie I loved ridiculously when I was little that I found out a few weeks ago is being subjected to a remake, but I can't remember now to save my worthless little life which one it was. (And it's making me nuts now!) When I read about it, my body did that weird thing where it converts my blood to refrigerator coolant, and I froze from the inside out in terror.

Took three days to thaw me out.

well so far just about everything they have called themselves "remaking" has sucked ass....like Bionic Woman, Knight Rider....

I would not even begin to want anyone to touch Wizard of Oz...

A remake may work if the previous version sucks and wasn't popular.

Or maybe if you put Johnny Depp in it.....

***********************************************
you would have to get better to be crazy....

Um . . . you all do realize that the movie wasn't an original story, right? It was based on a German novel (of which there has already been several versions done; A tv series, a mini series, a ballet, opera, and a play). This is no different than Lord of the Rings, Narnia or Wizard of Oz, of which there have been multiple media versions. And Sometimes, the newer versions are actually better. One can only hope they do so on this.

They already remade it once, and it sucked ass. The only way this should be remade is if you can get the original members of Kids Inc. together to sing the theme song for the move. And don't mess with Falcor.

This is my all time favorite kids movie and I grew up watching this in the 80's. The sequels sucked but the first rules supreme! I also freakin' loved Kids Inc. I still have The Neverending Story movie soundtrack on vinyl somewhere in my house. Every time it is on cable I can't not watch it. How could they remake this masterpiece!!!! "The Nothing" Wolf needs to swoop into Hollywood and the Rock Monster needs to ride his rock big wheels into town and fucking destroy the movie studio attempting this remake.

PrettyPoison's picture

LMAO @ NYone!! I co-sign that shit! They have to fuck with everything!!!

At least this provided a reason to post the most magical Kids Inc. song ever. Man I loved that show.

When I was younger and really high on acid/lsd/x (insert whichever) I used to listen to some trance song that was a remake of Neverending Story. I'm getting flashbacks of it and it was an awful song. I probably still have that cd somewhere.

Well, if they do remake it, Posh can play Falcor, check it out:

I adored Neverending Story. Hollywood cannot come up with much original stuff anymore; hence, the remake. If I ever get my own story put into screenplay form, it'd knock your sox off. I've been interviewed for a book about that life (Confessions of a She-Fan) but it was a helluva ride and *nothing* like my tale has ever been done.

Oh yeah, and how can we not give ultimate credit to Neverending Story for giving us the moniker "Rock Monster".

I couldn't have used that awesome name in the late 80's, early 90's without NES.

WTF? Fuck Hollywood. Seriously. Can't some things be sacred?

And really, how disrepectful to the kids of today? Do they not deserve something of thier own? Because basically they're being taught it's ok to plagarize if you tweak a little here & there and throw in some CGI.

It's complete & utter bullshit and you need to set WB on fire, MK. I emailed them already but good lawd!

Get ready for a Goonies/Stand By Me/Legend/Gremlins remake in 5,4,3...

OHMYGAWD! I am HORRIFIED! This truly was like one of my favorite movies when I was kid. NO REMAKING ALLOWED!! If they start up production for a live version of Jem and the Holograms, I'll meet MK outside the studios and start beating bitches down. Please stop fucking with the 80s, they were lovely as is.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Falkor's face gets remade all the time though-whenever I do mushrooms I look exactly like him hahahaha

this is how Hollywood has totally run out of ideas. they need to stop remaking shit and ruining our childhoods. anyway, do you guys remember Martika's song Toy Soldiers!?! That shit was DOPE!

"The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." Audre Lorde

I can just about forgive Martika for this transgression against my childhood but Fuggie Fug must pay...

The only way I am going to watch a shittified remake of the Wizard of Oz is if they cast Tisdale as the Wicked Witch and Efron as Dorothy. Speaking of that, that ''Return to Oz'' film in the 1980s was pretty creepy... I always remembered it like a fucked up equivalent to the Neverending Story even though it's not the same franchise.

LunaChick's picture

Oh, hell no. They can't possibly improve on the original - one of the greatest movies of my childhood. I hate these Hollywood idiots, that can't come up with something new, so they ruin my childhood memories. Just look at Underdog. Need I say more?

Two of my favorite things - The Neverending Story and Kids Inc. in one post, I think I'm about to explode.

Side note, this is a horrible idea, and it will never succeed.

Same with the remake to "Escape to Witch Mountain." I don't give a fuck if 'The Rock' (who is fine as hell) is in it, it will NEVER be the original. You hear me Disney? NEVAH!!!!

It's bad enough they've put The Rock in Witch Mountain. If they fuck with the Goonies, heads WILL roll.

There is actually nothing on earth I hate more than that movie. All the other little fucks my age were apparently crazy for it when I was a little kid and I remember being forced into watching it over and over and over. It was fucking torture.

No! For shame! I'm going to weep.That's a moment as bad as finding out that "Hanni and Nanni" wasn't the real title of the book about those twins at a boarding school by Enid Blyton.

Oh well. Let me just brag a little bit about sitting on "Falkor" (who's REAL name is Fuchur, by the way - I guess it would've sounded a little bit too... interesting pronounced by you English speaking folks).

So, growing up in Bavaria, we visited Bavaria Film Studios with our school class and we got to see all those quirky creatures that were part of the movie. And then, a few of us could ride on Fuchur! We had a blast.

And that's pretty much as close as I'll ever get to my famous 15. :p
