    Um...2:20something...what the hell am I looking at?

    With all due respect to Ms. Lewis's awesome pipes, I really wish they had picked a cooler less Pocahontas-y song.

    You forgot the step where someone serenades you while fading in and out of your reality from some kind of magic cloudy black room.

    Good God. That was craptacular. I happen to be in Disney World right now and I kept expecting a princess to come running across the screen with her posse of friendly forest animals...

    Ah, this generation's "My Heart Will Go On." Only fair that each generation should suffer through their own horrible movie ballad.

    I hope they don't make it too serious. I think the Abrams route is better. OTOH, this is material that is not very well known outside of the UK (I had barely heard of it), so maybe a BSG approach would work.

    The cool thing about Trek was that it balanced the seriousness with some fun.

    @Wookie1972: Mind the gap sir! It's not that well known outside of people younger than 40. It was broadcast internationally via ITV. If you aren't 40, you're just too young to have seen it. ITV properties don't see much syndication in the UK or the US.

    Well, U.F.O. wasn't intended to be cheesy... That's mostly just a result of the attitudes of the time, and our perspective from the moderately distant future.

    A serious remake interests me a lot more than a comedy spoof.

    I always thought the SHADO acronym was kinda lame: Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organization. But it was a nod, I think, to SHAPE: Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe.

    I'm holding out for NEATO: Near Earth Aerospace Treaty Organization.

    @Chip Overclock: How about NEADO: Near Earth Aerospace Defense Organization? It sounds almost as cool as NEATO, but makes for a more believable acronym.

    It is like watching a live-action version of Sealab 2020.

    Oh, but seeing as how the remake is being directed by a Visual Effects Supervisor and may have Ali Larter in it, Jackson is sure to come off as a semiprecious gem set in an old, rotten sandwich. let's hope it pays off his house or something.

    I could understand if it were a SyFy / Straight to DVD thing, but why would you cast Ali Larter in something that was supposed to be taken seriously??
