WELCOME BACK, TO THAT SAME OLD PLACE THAT YOU LAUGHED ABOUT
After the, uh, success of Bewitched as a movie, they've managed to find someone to bankroll a Welcome Back, Kotter movie.
You heard. Welcome Back, Kotter. They're lining up Ice Cube to play the titular returning teacher (which is what it's getting a mention here, by the way).
Of course, this isn't quite as extraordinary as it sounds, as there's already been a Welcome Back, Kotter movie. Sort of.
WBK was the US adaptation of Please, Sir...
... which got a movie run-out. They could even use the same script, give or take a couple of changes ("hood" for "inner city", and so on.) After all, Ice Cube does have the look of the young John Alderton about him...

Right... so remind me, the reason that the film industry is heading down the gurgler *isn't* because of unimaginative crap like this, or The Dukes of Hazzard, or Pink Panther it's because of teh internets, right?
Its probably because they're greenlighting shocking CG-filled shite woth even less plot than Welcome Back, Kotter. What's that you say? New Wachowski brothers film out this week. If it's anything like Matrix III: Smelt Of Wee, that *will* be good value for money...
