Re: UCLA Bruins
they won't do a sequel to the "A-Team" but they'll do this horseshit
A modest box-office hit when it was released 20 years ago, the extreme sports/heist/action flick "Point Break" has become one of the most beloved cult-action movies of all time. Its premise, in which Keanu Reeves' undercover cop Johnny Utah infiltrates the "ex-presidents" -- a gang of thrill-seeking Los Angeles surfers led by Patrick Swayze's Bodi, who don rubber masks while robbing banks -- set the tone for such modern action hits as "The Town" and "The Fast and the Furious."
Although movie buffs have championed the merits of the edge-of-your-seat, adrenaline-pumping flick for years, the cult classic gained further steam with the production of "Point Break LIVE!" -- a "reality play" that allows an unrehearsed audience member to join the cast to tackle Reeves' role of Utah, reading cue cards from the stage.
With new life infused into what was thought to be a dormant franchise, Warner Bros. and Alcon Entertainment confirmed this week that a "Point Break" remake is now in the works, news that caused surprise and outrage as it tore across the Internet. But before we start wondering who could possibly replace Swayze's Bodi (Josh Holloway?), or which young actor has the chops to match Reeves Utah (anyone?), let's see where the people who brought us the early '90s classic are today.

I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: UCLA Bruins
Hayden Christanson (Anakin) - Johnny Utah hands fucking down.
If he isn't available, then Josh Harnett maybe?
Holloway - Not a bad choice but Bradley Cooper would give you better box office draw.

Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

Justin Beiber(sp?) as Utah. Lady Gaga as Bodhi.
I never thought it was a great movie. Grosse Pointe Blank is a better movie that Point Break.

Re: UCLA Bruins
Holloway is about the only one I can think of that might be able to pull off a fraction of the Swayze swagger. Not sure why they're remaking classics like Point Break or Straw Dogs though, it just doesn't make sense.

Re: UCLA Bruins
Same reason why they remake everything else. They have learned that you make more money on movies based on something that already has an audience than you do building an audioence by making an original film. Just look at sequels, they make more money than the original movies.
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

U*NC is the cleanest most honest athletic program on the planet. I am jealous of their deserved success, and I'm a mewling cunt.

Alec Baldwin is hosting SNL (with Radiohead...one of my favorite bands). I'm expecting a top-notch hilarious Rick Perry or Romney impersonation.
