FUCK YOU to 'merican remakes/reimaginings/complete-and-utter-fucking-up of already fantastic Brit TV shows! Jesus, didn't we fight a war to get away from them and their ideas? Are we so bankrupt that we can't come up with any ideas of our own over here? (don't answer that last one...the ratings of the gorram farkin' Jersey Shore just go to prove my point)
Christ, I'm just gonna move over there where all the good TV is and screw all this shit!
/rant ends...for now

I'm not familiar with "Skins," but I'll take a wild guess based on the picture, and assume it's a docu-drama about eating disorders, heroin users, and douche-bags?

I love that the US Skins is supposed to take place in Baltimore. That is a very un-baltimore looking cast. Way to add some diversity MTV. Good job.

Really, James Franco is getting on my last nerve. What a boring-ass himbo.
Rooney Mara looks like a sick, homeless, druggie. Why do they have to remake this amazing movie? I don't understand.
Why won't Variety allow me to read any of their articles? I tried signing up but that didn't work either.

I have no idea what "Skins" is either but if those people are supposed to represent Baltimore, I give up. Things are never going to change in TV-land, are they?

"the studio wants James McAvoy in the lead, that del Toro wants Tom Cruise in that role"
Is there something in the script that requires a tiny man?
Posted by: PaddyDog at September 7, 2010 4:11 PM
Oh well I lied...Skins will no longer be set in Baltimore but in Nameless City, USA. Nice.

This may come as shock to lot of you but evidence suggests that James Franco may not be the only one who likes to masturbate. A lot.
Scientist at an undisclosed location are still pouring over the data.

Oh SO many matters that need to be addressed.
First: agreed with PaddyDog. What does this man think he's casting? The Hobbit?
Eeegh. Tom Cruise as Bilbo.
I guess this explains why James Franco NEVER STOPS SQUINTING in all his movies. Honestly man, fucking open your eyes. Narrowing them does not equate to acting.
But seriously WHAT THE FUCK is he doing in a Danny Boyle movie? Was Cillian Murphy/Ewan MacGregor/Robert Carlyle busy? Oh, and on that matter: can he PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD make a movie with Ewan again, because that man's career needs some serious Boyle-injection. I was recently forced to watch Angels and Demons...eeugh.
And lastly: Benedict Cumberbatch is still the greatest name I've ever heard.

What a coincidence. I would like to masturbate James Franco. A lot.

From the way I hear it, Martin Freeman was already obligated for "Sherlock" when he was offered the Bilbo part. Wasn't The Sun the one who claimed that Matt Smith was already leaving "Doctor Who"? Exactly.
And geez, all these Americanified remakes are doing my head in. All love for my homeland US, but um. Yeah. "Skins" was good mostly because of its cast of actors. Not because they had the black girl, the Indian kid trying to get laid, the frail manic pixie with drug and eating problems, the gay kid, random Asian girl. Sigh.

"Sherlock" is the shit.
Posted by: Jay at September 7, 2010 7:15 PM
No shit? "Sherlock"?

I shit you not: Sherlock.

Tom Cruise in the running for "At the Mountains of Madness"? If this happens, I'm heading for a remote corner of Norway to await the apocalypse. If Tom Cruise gets the nod as a lead for a Lovecraft film, I actually find myself HOPING that the Godtopus rises from R'lyeh and devours us all before the movie hits theatres.
... on the other hand, maybe he'll fail some SAN checks and end up racing off into the antarctic cold, never to be seen again...

So. James McAvoy vs Tom Cruise?
Why is this even a question?

Did Jay just make a Grifters reference?
Respect, son.

If we can be sure of anything after all this coverage that little Jamesies’ much attended to peen’s been getting, it’s that the American public is all for for watching a James Franco solo show, or five of them in a row, if he has the stamina (we’re betting he does)… but this is probably just a bit too, shall we say, kinky for mass consumption.

Only...uh....13 or 14 months to wait for new Sherlock!
