08.19.09 DIRTIER DANCING: SAVIN’ DAT REC CENTER
Not pictured: the corner
Via Movieweb:
Lionsgate is gearing up for a remake of the 1987 classic Dirty Dancing and has set Julia Dahl (Uptown Girls) to work on the script, according to Production Weekly.
The original starred Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey as a young woman in the summer where she meets Johnny Castle (Swayze) who teaches dance at a family Summer Camp and in his off hours Dirty Dances with the other dancers. She learns a routine so that one of the women can recover from an abortion and becomes Johnny’s lover [Ed. - That is dark as hell for a movie my 8-year-old classmates were into].
How are they possibly going to update this? Is Baby going to win a booty shake (NSFW) competition? Is Johnny going to throw dem poak chops? Instead of an abortion, is Johnny’s girlfriend going to be raising money to have 12 embryos implanted so she can get a reality show contract? Oh well, if Julia Dahl messes this up, there’s always barber college.

I think I’ve got it. Wait for it… Vampires. That turn into machines !.
If the cancer doesn’t kill Swayze, this remake will.
A quick point of order, Patrick Swayze is still alive because celebrities have a thing called heath care. I’ve heard that some Nazi wants to force that stuff on us.

Yeah. Read that url and pretend you ain’t curious. (work safe)
Isn’t Hugh Jackman a lock for this role? Young, good lookin’, jazz hands…he’s got it all!
“No one puts baby in the corner, bub!”
Remember when someone said “No One Puts Baby In The Coroner” about the Joker Stab Spree Story?
El. Oh. El.
Before basic sanitation, all dancing was dirty.
Cut from the original script - Johnny’s nickname: Jew Hunter.
I was scared of the movie “Ghost Dad” when I was a kid.
Black people are spooky

Cause no ond puts baby in the dumpster.
In updated version, father take Baby and Johnny on Maury Povich to ask for help getting his 16-year old daughter away from 30-year old sex offender.
In an effort to amplify the shock value of the original, producers have decided to make Johnny’s character a sexual deviant. It will also be renamed “Dirty Sanchez Dancing.”
The studio rejected a script that had been mailed in from “Kronos” that involved a morbidly obese man wearing nothing but Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs and doing the Macarena, titled, “Dirty Hairy Dancing”.
Patrick Swayze is alive because even God thought Roadhouse was kinda gay.
Ya ever wondered just what it was that CLB wrote in the margins of The Fountainhead?
Creepy Little Bastard
On a side note, I got to finger a girl for the first time because this was the only thing on tv and even she thought it was boring as all hell.
True story.
Jirish - for the last time, I’m not a girl. And don’t forget - Mythbusters was on, too, but we’d both seen that episode.
Blah, my bad, thought it would look cool for the ladies :(.
They could always recreate it shot for shot with Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche. I think she’s still sleeping out behind my woodpile.
If they just waited 8 more years, they could’ve called it 30 Dancing
Shop so wants to be the next Tarentino
