What If 'Jaws: The Revenge' Was Actually Good?
It's pretty common knowledge to movie buffs (or human beings with eyes) that "Jaws: The Revenge" is the literal equivalent of shark-jumping. Calling it a "flop" would be putting it lightly, considering the no good, very bad caper earned a 0% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and is widely considered one of the worst movies ever made. Even Michael Caine couldn't save the damn thing, and that guy is good.
But the editor of Dinosaur Boner (hello, and welcome to the internet) decided it was high time to give the movie the old recut trailer treatment, writing, "I tried to cut it as if it was a critically acclaimed indie film, instead of giant heap of trash. But to be fair, I've probably seen 'Jaws: The Revenge' over 10 times because it's one of my biggest guilty pleasure films."
So there you have it: a good enough reason as any to see what "Jaws: The Revenge" would look like if it were basically "L'Amour." In other words, it's your only chance.

Casting the Eventual 'Twilight' Remake
Old Red Jalopy
As Twi-hards accept the coming of "Breaking Dawn – Part 2," the finale to "The Twilight Saga," it's difficult to imagine life without another installment of the Bella, Edward and Jacob love triangle on the horizon. What do we do to cope with the loss?
I'm sure some fans will try to go cold turkey — ripping down all their Team Edward posters and boxing up their sparkly vampire memorabilia — like some girls do trying to forget a painful ex-lover. Some will live in the past, like a former high school quarterback, insisting that the glory days are still here and any day now a new "Twilight" book will magically appear on bookstore shelves. Others will move on completely, taking the "best way to get over someone is to get under someone else" approach. Except that "someone" will be another YA series like "Mortal Instruments" or "Maximum Ride" and, like a rebound relationship, that won't work out in the end. As I've successfully argued before, nothing is the next "Twilight." Get More »

'Glee' Creator to Revamp 'Rocky Horror' for Big Screen?
FOX
Following an homage on TV's "Glee," series creator Ryan Murphy may be taking "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" in a new direction. According to Deadline.com, Murphy is being wooed by Fox 2000 to direct a feature-film remake of the 1975 cult classic.
The original flick – which starred Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick as Janet and Brad, a newly engaged couple who turn up at the castle of campy Transylvanian transvestite Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) after their tire goes flat – went on to spawn interactive midnight screenings and still draws crowds today.
