If you grew up in the '80s, you probably saw the movie Short Circuit about 50 times. Everyone loved that movie back then. Yes it had Steve Guttenberg, a sure sign of major suckage, but it also had a robot that got hit by lightning and came to life. That kind of awesomeness makes up for 100 Guttenbergs, and Ally Sheedy and Fisher Stevens.Well, as further proof that all our childhood memories must be trashed by crass Hollywood assholes, Dimension is now doing a remake of Short Circuit, and they are hiring the guy who directed Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Why not just shove a knitting needle in my penis, Dimension Pictures? It would be less painful than watching your Guttenbergless Short Circuit "reboot" starring a CGI Johnny 5 - everyone knows clangy remote-control robots are way cooler than computer-generated ones - and directed by the same fucker who guided Kevin James through a comedy beloved by those who can't get enough of Larry the Cable Guy.
