I hate Hollywood

So...

Back in 2006, the jerkoffs bent on destroying the wonderful legacy of MGM gave us The Pink Panther, starring Steve Martin... a remake (SHOCK!!!) of the 1963 comedy classic of the same name that starred the genius that was Peter Sellers. Mr. Sellers would twice more reprise the role of the bumbling Inspector Clouseau, next in 1975's The Return of the Pink Panther and again a year later in The Pink Panther Strikes Again. Now, in 2009, the soulless fucks who seem to enjoy pissing on the graves of Louis Mayer, Irving Thalberg, Arthur Freed et alii are giving us The Pink Panther 2, with Mr. Martin (sadly) returning in the lead role.

So what we have here is a sequel to the remake of an original that had not just one, BUT TWO sequels of its own, yet the sequel of the remake is NOT a remake of the sequel of the original film.

How I wish there was a Gaza Strip in southern California, and that its inhabitants would lob rockets into the executive offices of movie studios.
