Estne Nihil Sanctum?

I don't think it's bad enough that good shows like Starsky and Hutch and The Dukes of Hazzard have been remade into bad parodies. I think we can do worse, don't you? I think we can do much, MUCH worse. There's been talk of a film version of Magnum P.I. being kicked around Hollywood, and the rumors are spinning as fast as the blades on The Island Hopper. As with any remake, I remain unopposed, so long as the original star is in the movie. Tom Selleck is perfectly capable of reprising his role as Thomas Magnum. He's still in good shape, still sexy, and still a good actor - but you know damn well they're gonna try to cast Ben Affleck, or Josh Hartnett, or Ashton Kutcher as the great Magnum and flush the whole thing down the casting room toilet. Another hot tip - they're talking about casting LL Cool J as T.C. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

If I ever see one teenager point at Ashton Kutcher and say "Hey, look! It's Magnum P.I.!" I will pull out my own eyeballs just so I have something to throw at them. There IS only one Magnum P.I., people, and you can only slight my 80's television sensibilities so much before I go BERSERK.
