Hollywood: Land of Innovation

As if the recent announcement that Werner Herzog will cast Nicolas Cage's manhood in a retelling of the infamous crime drama Bad Lieutenant wasn't chilling enough, now comes worth, courtesy of the Hollywood Reporter, that former movie studio MGM is planning new versions of both Robocop, the badass police officer-as-cyborg hit that briefly put Peter Weller on the map; and Red Dawn, the so-bad-it-sucks war epic that made World War III hip for the young people (aka the first Patrick Swayze-Jennifer Grey mash-up). I blame The Hills for this.
