It's not as if they're redoingthe plot. That would just be stupid.

Reportedly the changes are to get an R rating, and include added lines like "we got to get these mother$%$ snakes off the mother$%^%$ plane!"

I have yet to see someone actually "whine" about the film. Everyone's been very enthusiastic about it so far.

How often does a movie make cult status before it's even been released? If anything, they're rewarding the fans, not bowing to their whims.

It's a nice change to see a film being changed to get a harsher rating instead of being neutered to get a PG-13. I don't know how much of a difference it'll make in the quality of the film, but re-shooting to allow Samuel L. Jackson to swear more probably won't hurt.

Actually, it wasn't a matter of whining.

The tentative title they gave it(not to mention the plot) infused a notion of the absurd into the movie. Net geeks, being general lovers of harmless absurdity, took that and ran with it.

They apparently realized that trying to be completely serious about it wasn't going to work anymore, so they're just, for lack of a better term, taking the legend and running with it. Just look at the font they're using for the title now. Is anything that uses that pseudo-Indiana Jones-ish title ever meant to be taken seriously by now?

Where? When has a comic book changed after most of the work was done on it to appease what some blogger wrote?
