Oh no, why can't people in Hollywood come up with original ideas? Remakes like this usually turn out to be awful.

I heard Cederick the Entertainer and Damon Wayans were going to be Ralph and Ed.

I say bang, zoom - to the moon! To the moon with them Hollywood hacks!!!

No, no, no, no! This is such a bad idea. Remakes are horrid, IMHO. I remember all to well the fiasco that was The Avengers movie (1998). Patrick Macnee and Dame Diana Rigg are the only Steed and Mrs. Peel. It was foolish of Hollywood to think they could duplicate their chemistry. They were a one of a kind team. Same goes for the cast of The Honeymooners. It was the fabulous dynamic/chemistry of the cast that made the show so special and so entertaining. I'm still in shock that they are actually making a Honeymooners remake. It makes me so mad.

John Steed and Emma Peel

Wow! A black version of "The Honeymooners".

What's wrong with this picture? I like the original TV show with Jackie Gleason and Art Carney. They're all white. Why did Paramount came up with this odd idea. The movie is going to be out this summer. I'm going to see it!

I saw a preview of it on The Tvland Awards last night. Looks silly.

Screenwriter · 03-18-2005, 04:20 PM

I haven't seen a preivew of it! I'd like to see a preview of the movie, because I'd like to know how s h i t t y the movie will turn out to be.

Tweety · 03-20-2005, 02:17 PM

man, this is getting really pathetic...I guess an "I Love Lucy" movie can't be too far behind...

Hey Cedic, just because you're overweight, doesn't mean you can play Ralph Kramden...there's a little more to it than that!

Screenwriter · 03-20-2005, 06:06 PM

If they're going to do this to The Honeymooners than I can't trust Hollywood anymore. HEY HOLLYWOOD, YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO PAY RESPECT TO CLASSICS!

isiahthomas · 03-25-2005, 06:32 PM

I agree with all of ya'll who don't wanna see this happen. I don't wanna see a black Honeymooners movie either. White actors should be playing the characters in the Honeymooners movie. Hollywood is really gettin pathetic.

Screenwriter · 03-25-2005, 08:25 PM

It's not about coming up with ideas. Most of they're stuff is original, stupd, but original. When you make a movie based on a television show, you should stay true to form.

Dr. Thong · 03-25-2005, 09:23 PM

This is sacrilege. The Honeymooners was a pioneering show and should never, never have been "re-made". I hope this movie sinks like a stone.

As an actor, do you really want a build a career based on playing roles that other people originated?? I would want to find my own characters, rather than doing something that someone else has already done.

Not all remakes are bad, but there's just too damn many of them. Between this and Steve Martin (who I like) taking on The Pink Panther, I've really lost faith in Hollywood.

Cedric ought to be ashamed for even thinking about playing Ralph Kramden. Jackie Gleason was not dubbed "The Great One" for nothing...Cedric is the "I-Wish-I-Was-One-Tenth-As-Great-One."
