@Belabras: But... that would mean you'd never comment, ever! Look at me! I am not fettered by such antiquated notions of civility, and look how I turned out! Such a nice guy!
Actually, Meredith, please explain to me how Green Hornet, especially this particular incarnation qualifies as sci-fi or even science related. he's a rich guy with a kick-ass chauffeur who goes out, gets kidnapped by thugs, and then has said kick-ass chauffeur beat said thugs up.
There are no groovy gadgets, there are no intergalactic aliens, there's no teleportation, there's no suspension of belief in any form; he's a regular joe with a kick-ass chauffeur; that's all he is.
@Smeagol92055: According to Wiki (yeah I know), the Green Hornet has a "high tech car named Black Beauty". So... I guess? I just want to rip on Adam Sandler.
@crashedpc: Nope. The car may have been high-tech in the early '40s, but as I recall, the only really 'high-tech' things it had was infrared lights that only the driver could see through a little screen, which isn't high-tech, seeing as how we did the same thing in the military with infrared lights and night vision goggles, and I think he had some sort of missile launcher, which again, is hardly high-tech by today's standards.
@Smeagol92055: Until I read the proposed script, I won't know how updated this version will be. And since my interest levels have dropped to negative 50, I won't be doing any active Googling. Therefor- oh look bewbs!
@Hamslicer: *points down* Knyne meant Bolgia. I believe that's a part of the Eight Circle of Hell per Dante's Inferno that is divided into ten concentric circular trenches, called Bolgias. If you already know this then just assume that I'm insulting your intelligence and feel free to punch me in the face.

Then Sid & Marty Kroft launched two janitors into space in the live action, Saturday morning show "Far-Out Space Nuts".
So... time for a REBOOT!

Rodney Dangerfield as Old Lucifer! Harvey Keitel as The Devil! Tiny Lister, Jr. as one of the Big Bads! Patricia Arquette!

The only hint that these aren't real is that two of these are scheduled for "summer" when obviously all of them are Christmas releases.

*whoosh*
I think that's the idea...

At one level...d'uh.
At another level...I'm afraid even the joke that is on him, is on him.
