Hollywood Continues to Destroy My Childhood Memories

It’s a story that is all too familiar. Hollywood remakes a classic 80′s franchise by giving it a final death blow and burying it. Perhaps it is our punishment for having too many great memories and experiences Saturday mornings and at Friday night sleep overs. Today’s movies are uneventful CGI spectacles or slapped together retreads, released by the week and on DVD a week later. It’s not fair to today’s kids that we had it so much better. Think of it as socialism for joy.

The latest is the Karate Kid remake, starring Will Smith’s son Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. No I didn’t make that up. Whatever universe it may have had potential of being something worth watching, even there it has been destroyed by today’s release of official photos.

See them below, weep for the children, and then run for the nearest Blockbuster for one last ride with the original.

Wax on my friends, wax on.
