Holy crap, they’re remaking one of my favorite movies of all date. What’s next? Dog Day Afternoon? The Apartment? Dammit folks, that recycling business is getting out of hand. John Travolta has gone from wearing drag for Hairspray (also a remake, I might add) to that brawny guy costume for his new movie, The Taking of Pelham 123.

In the film, about a high-jacked subway train, John stars opposite Denzel

“Academy Award Magnet” Washington, so I’m pretty certain that whether the movie is even one half as good as the original, that shit’s going to get nominated for a ton of little statues.

Sigh. I miss Walter Matthau. Is that weird?
