It's time for a rant!

I am so pissed about the remake of Fame. The original movie was fabulous because of the brilliant cast and great music...but mostly because the stories were so real. Many plotlines weren't resolved, and people made stupid decision and things didn't always work out. The remake is clearly recycling the same tired cliches--cliches the original film was lacking, thank God--we've seen in a dozen teen-inspirational type movies. Why did they even call it Fame? They've changed the names and stories, and nothing remains but the concept of a performing arts high school.

In protest, I'm posting these to remind you all of how awesome the original is.
