And what, may I ask, was wrong with 1996?

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Well guys, I have just learned that the studios are doing a remake of "Oh God" from 1977. It will supposedly be released in 2006. Now, when I read this, I immediately headed over to the IMDb mad about such an insane idea. But... guess who they're getting to play God?

Ellen Degeneres.

I shit you not. I can just sense contraversy arising from this! Muhuhahahahahaha!!

Things could be worse. An "Oh God!" sequel was announced several years back. After George Burns died! But like the old Monty Python skit about Marylin Monroe's "new" movie, being dead doesn't save you from unscrupulous filmmakers. There was some pretty creepy CGI test footage of Burns shown on tv.

Depends wether it will be a zombie flick or not.

You hadn't heard about this? Frankly, I'm not surprised. This project has been in development hell for a while, and hopefully will stay there.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

If God really looks, acts, and sounds like Ellen Degeneres I want to be sent to hell. This has got to be the worst movie idea I have ever heard of.

I actually think that, with her quirkyness, she might do an OK job. I like the idea that they are getting a woman to play God. That might open some people's eyes. However, the original film was very inspiring, and I'm afraid that this 2006 version will be just another crappy remake by the studios.

So? That's no big deal. Besides, God can't be gay anyway, since God is not a human being and is not of either sex in the first place. God is asexual.

So then why is God called a "He" and a "Father" in the Bible?

Maybe Allah is asexual...
Which is the more foolish, the fool (the OT) or the fool who follows (the PT)?

It was translated and written by humans, who have an unfortunate tendency to consider all beings of greatness to be male. Plus, it is explained in that same book that God is not limited to what is found in human beings. God would be neither male nor female, but instead something greater.

And God must be asexual, as why would God have any use for sex?

I'm sorry but George Burns is God. No one can play the part like him. Now, I don't have a problem with a women or a homosexual playing the part. I just can't stand Ellen Degeneres. She is like someone scratching their hand on a chalkboard. I think I'd prefer having teeth pulled without anesthesia, to watching her act.

No you don't... what kind of analogy is that?
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

I agree. partially. George Burns played the part very well, but I still feel that Ellen will pull it off well, um, as well.

It only matters if the sequels/remakes are either bad or good. If you don't want to watch them, then don't, otherwise what's the point of complaining about it? Unless you're a hollywood mover'n'shaker you're not going to make one bit of difference. The only way you can affect things is by putting your money into something (ie watching the movie) or not (ie not watching the movie).

I was looking through a bunch of old threads and found this one.

Guess Rocky 6 wasn't as bad as we thought it would be, was it?

The only movie I'd do anything to make sure it's NOT made is the infamous and hopefully stalled forever "Neon Genesis Evangelion" WETA project. If this movie gets made I'll boycott Hollywood forever.
