CQB has had it there forever, and it no one has said sh*t about it before. Just because he dissed on your lame obsessions doesn't mean you can suddenly start trying to call him out.

STFU.

It's a Ninja Turtles message board, if I needed to make friends here, I'd shoot myself. No offense.

HAHAHAHAHA. Oh, man. Funny as f*ck.

Yes, Karate Kid. I look forward to this movie. Contrary to what people believe, I don't think this will erase my memories of the old one.

Wow, I'm suprised there isn't a outrage about changing the main character to a black kid.

I'll give it a chance, not like the original was some sort of oscar worthy epic.

Karate stems from Chinese Martial Arts in the 13th and 14th centuries when some Chinese moved to a Japanese Island to do some trading.

There's nothing wrong with the sig. This is a PG-13 board, and if you're 13 and don't know about drugs, then I'm sorry...your parents have failed you. Also, the sig isn't saying you SHOULD do drugs. It's just kinda there.

I don't think a movie needed to be an Oscar contender to be considered a classic. The Karate Kid is such a huge part of pop culture that it is definitely a classic.

Still, from the sound of things, this movie seems to be different enough from the original so that it might be worth it. I think people dislike remakes so much because they do usually turn out awful, but maybe this will be one of the rare good ones.

Also, this thread is pretty depressing. What's with all the attacks? Are we twelve years old again?

Except it says he's in negotiations.

And he doesn't have my permission to star in this movie. Jaden Smith sucks and being in the same movie as him will ruin Jackie's career. Also, Chan doesn't exactly practise Karate.

And a year later, Cipher arrived to say, "This is one of the most awesome things I have ever seen written on this forum."

And then he proceeded to not care about Karate Kid.

I am very conflicted. Jackie Chan being in this means I have to see it, and Jaden Smith means I don't want to.

This.


I kind of want to see this movie, but I'd seriously wait to rent/Netflix it.

Do we really need remakes like this?

Where's the talent in Hollyweird?

There's plenty of original talent in Hollywood, but you have to stop going to the multiplex to find it.

ON TOPIC: I loooooooooooooove the karate kid, though I think it's a stupid idea for them to change the name to Kung Fu Kid. The Karate Kid has more of a ring to it.

Without Hollywood, you'd have nothing but very detailed descriptions of Voldemort to jerk off to. Be grateful.
