Seriously!? “The Munsters” to be Re-Imagined as a Dramatic Series
You can’t make shit like this up. NBC, the giant brains behind firing Conan O’Brien, (basically) cancelling “Community” and launching the show “Whitney” have another brilliant idea: They are going to launch a new “Munsters” pilot, only this time it will be a DRAMA! I can see the line of thinking here from a business [...]
Seriously!? Megan Fox as ‘CARRIE’
So the latest news in the wonderful world of remakes and reboots (you know, mainstream Hollywood) came in today.

Seriously!? ‘Monsters’ Director to Helm ‘Godzilla’ Remake!?
