MOTU fans need to subscribe if you haven't already.

Nice Beaver: Ed Helms is the New Frank Drebin - Pajiba
- It appears the Naked Gun is getting a reboot and Ed Helms of The Hangover trilogy has been selected as the new Frank Drebin. To me, this reboot has Get Smart written all over it. I'm a huge Leslie Neilsen fan and have a feeling this new movie will be added to my "will never watch in respect to the original" list.

In case I do not get another chance, I just wanted to wish you & your family an extra-awesome Merry Christmas and truly all the best in the coming new year. Thanks for another great year of 80s goodness! Us 80s dudes got to stick together.
ReplyDeleteSame to you brother! As evidenced by these posts, I go to your site for '80s content on a weekly basis. Thanks for doing what you do! Best to you in the new year!
DeleteWe really need to find a way to collaborate more, with each other and other 80s fanaticals...
Definitely!!! Always up for collaboration and reaching more 80s fans. Merry Christmas.
DeleteI didn't think the new Get Smart was too bad. Naked Gun though...it all hinges on if they get the best writing team. As has been proven time and again, you can't have the idiots that make crap like Epic Movie, etc. try to do something like Naked Gun/Airplane. They just don't know how to do it right.
ReplyDeleteAnd if I don't communicate with ya again over the next week, have a great holiday!
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you!
DeleteI hated the Get Smart reboot. Had high hopes for it as I loved watching it on Nick at Nite as a kid. Did read that the Reno 911 guys are set to write the Naked Gun reboot. I guess that's good as far as cop comedy experience, but never liked Reno 911.
I grew up about an hour south of Cleveland and some of the external shots of the school in Christmas Story are my elementary, unfortunately I went back for a visit earlier this year and the old part of the building (the part featured in the film) had been razed for a new parking lot. Still have not been to the museum but I hear its pretty neat.
