Yes it's real. And yes, God has abandoned us for we have forsaken Him.

Also, speaking of which, "One nation.. Under dog."

Is it just me or are the catch phrase people not even trying anymore. They're letting their 5 year olds make this crap up, right?

And coming in 2008...."Conjunction Junction: The Movie." Starring Stephen Root as the Engineer, Horatio Saenz as the Fat Hobo and Vern Troyer as the Little Hobo.

It's amazing the lengths Hollywood will go to to avoid doing anything even remotely original.

I have to agree. Somewhere, a budding screenwriter is working two jobs to pay rent in a shitty studio apartment in Los Angeles, trying to come up with a fresh, original screenplay, looks at this and is cursing a blue streak.

I can accept the nostalgia factor of some of these films, but not at the expense of filmmakers who can't get their movies made, or make their movies just to have them only seen in a handful theaters in the entire country.

This sucker doesn't even have nostalgia value, since with the exception of the name and suit, there is nothing at all in common with the original.

I saw a cartoon on (I think ) comedy central about a year or so ago about a Hollywood producer who had the asinine idea of pitching an Underdog movie to some Hollywood directors and such. Guess nothing is satire anymore.

Underdog was once one of my favorite silly cartoons.

"Have no fear, Underdog is here!"

I fear the movie...

Now I don't remember much of Underdog, but I do remember he was a cute talking character. He worked at a job.. a janitor or reporter was it? Anyway, if they do this live action

Also, live action Charolette's Web. I don't know what's creepier. Dakota Fanning or a CGI realistic looking spider voiced by Julia Roberts. Give me the book or cartoon movie any day over this uneeded remake.

It's a timeless movie and book. That means you don't need to make it again!
