the pink panther

i have been watching these comercials for the new pink panther movie and i must say it looks prity shity. it dosnt even look funny. steve martin can be funny, but i dont think this part is right for him. i am prity young (22) but i have seen the orginals and honestly parts of them make me cry they are so funny. just thinking about a few parts as i right this has me giggle in class. yet nothing i have seen with mr. martin has even made me cracka smile. am i alone and thinking this and just bitter they are remaking yet another movie or is there some validity to my thoughts ?

The final insult is that they would let Beyonce anywhere near this. Had they not seen what kind of a turd she delivered in Goldmember?

This one got struck off my list the instant I found out that they hadn't been able to sucessfully raise either Peter Sellers or Blake Edwards from the dead.

Hollywood seems determined to remake/recycle every successful franchise at least once. What happens 30 years from now when they run out of things to remake?

Problem one: Steve Martin is not funny, and I've never liked any of his movies
Problem two: Beyonce is a horrible actor
Problem three: They don't have peter sellers

I think I'll save my 8 bucks :thmbsdn:

Apparantly they didn't learn from Son of the Pink Panther.

Hollywood is so gutless nowdays - they won't risk anything and a remake is a sure winner - Low cost and medium to high returns. Ick.

I was just getting ready to sit down and watch the original when I saw this post!
I'll give the remake credit for rekindling my interest in the original at least, also they released a box set to coincide with the release so that's a plus.

I have ZERO interest in seeing the remake It looks awful and in fact has been pretty savaged by the critics. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pink_panther/

yes the release of the box set is a plus, i plan on getting it soon. altho on a sad note it dose not contain revenge, due to some sort of licesensing disagreement.

also it seems to me that remakes are not always a safe bet for the studios, they seem to kind of be hit or miss, so do well some fall flat on there faces. but maybe i am just bitter ;]

Y'know, I was sittin' here,going thru-in my mind- all the riotous scenes in the "Panther" series down thru the years, & all I can think of is "How DARE they ?"...Trying to remake the Panthers w/o Sellers and Edwards is almost tantamount to sacrelige..It just shouldn't be done...-Sandy G.

Dunno which box set you're talking about, Icon. My MGM special edition 6 disc box set has:
The Pink Panther
A Shot in the Dark (wear your depends for this one)
The Pink Panther Strikes Again
Revenge of the Pink Panther
and
Trail of the Pink Panther
as well as a bonus disk with Pink Panther & Ant & Aardvark cartoons.

If the world is lucky, this will be the nail in the coffin for Steve Martin's career, and he will slink into well-deserved obscurity beside Joe Piscopo.

Well, I am a fan of Steve Martin. I think the Jerk is really funny. And I'm going to see PP today with my 9 year old son just because it's all we could think of to take him too. But I'm not expecting much. I love the origional movies so much I can't believe they felt the need to make them again.

Take care,

Ed
