V is NOT for Vandetta and yes they are making a remake of old TV show V.  Also, if you were NOT born before 1980 then trust me, you will not remember V.  It was on TV back in 1983 and even if you were out suckling on mommy at beginning of 1980 you would be too young to remember.

Hollywood has the biggest ego. When europeans make excellent drama movies, what does Hollywood do? Make a remake cause original just wasn't good enough. When japanese or philipines make some great horror flick, what does Hollywood do? Make a remake cause original just wasn't good enough. And what does Hollywood do when they run out of ideas for new TV shows? Make a remake of old ones cause old ones just wasn't good enough. I loved old TV shows and they were great. Alot better than TV shows are now. In my opinion honoring the amazing shows and movies of the past isn't by remaking them. Remaking is like a slap in the face to the original saying "You weren't good enough." Imagine saying that to your wife. "I'm gonna get one of my other ribs taken out and made into a woman because you just aren't good enough."

So the new exploitation of one of the greats of the past is V. Remake on the old V.
The Villain. - Original villain played by Jane Badler is now being played by Morena Baccarin.  They should have chosen Elizabeth Mitchell to play that role who instead is playing a different role.  Jane Badler played well with the female villain role because she could carry the role as a tough alien who could kick your butt if you looked at her funny.

Hollywood as it always does opted for beauty and no toughness.  Sex sells and hollywood is dishing it out like condomn at HIV centers.  Actually I don't think Morena Baccarin is pretty, I'm just saying hollywood thinks she is and that's the reason they went for her.

Clearly Elizabeth Mitchell would have been better match for the role because just looking at this photo you can tell she could carry sexy and "kick yer girly butt" at the same time.

I KNOW the story is, none of the aliens are anything but sexy because they are trying to fool humans into practically worshipping them and be blinded into full trust.  But still...

If I'm gonna get butt kicked I want to at least have an excuse why I got mine kicked by a woman.  She was one tough sexy lady.  No doubt about it and I liked it.

The Hero. - Played by Marc Singer.


He looked like he could fight.  Not only did you have to know how to act back in those days, you also had to be able to look the part.

He played the freakin Beast Master.  He talked to animals man.  That's some serious skill right there.

Ok he didn't really talk to animals but he played his parts well.


But now instead we got guys like this who just er... wears fancy suits.


Nice suit bud.  Where did you get it?  Wardrobe?  Btw, Hollywood also tells you you are too fat, not good very good looking and your life isn't interesting if you don't own mansions, and normal thing to do is fall in love and get married within 2 days of having met.  So there you go.  Also, hiring Chinese actors to play Korean or Japanese roles is ok cause they all look alike according to Hollywood.
