I can't even begin to imagine what a 2005/2006 remake of Animal House would be like. Yuck!

Yeah, ghost sluts are better because they're free.

Whatever they do, I sure hope they don't attempt to remake Animal House. It seems like almost every remake of classic original movies has been a disaster. Miracle on 34th street sucked, Chris Rock trying to remake Heaven Can Wait with that horrible Down To Earth and I'm sure, if desired, others can keep the list going. Then there are the rumoured remakes like The Warriors and how about Westworld (going to be very difficult to top Crichton's sci-fi masterpiece with Yul Bryner saying, "draw") and most recently John discusses Superman here elsewhere. Remakes and in some cases sequels too, pardon the pun, are the ultimate ghost whores.

Belushi, as was said of James Dean, was too fast to live, too young to die (bye bye). It was a total waste - he was unique. I am very interested to see what kind of public response the re-release gets - will a new generation care?

A shame what happened to Belushi. Animal House is a classic comedy and well deserving of its success. Nice to see them push this thing for the 25th anniversary.

And indeed Otis does - I used to DJ frat parties with the actor who played Otis in the movie ( actually I DJ'd between his band's sets) and it was mutual love all the way around. "So hit it ..."
