    UGH is about the best I can do as well...I LOVE the original and have plans to watch it and Short Circuit 2 this weekend...the remake will not do Johnny 5 justice at all!!!

    So you're upset that a director who made a popular movie is taking over a franchise that you have nostalgia glasses for?

    Short Circuit is pretty damned campy, and I have a feeling Steve Carr is familiar with that humor style.

    I thought WalliE was a remake of Johnny 5? I'm just kidding, though they looked almost exactly alike. First time I ever saw that toy in the store I thought Short Circut was making a come back. I don't know how I really feel about a remake, I grew up witht he original and never really cared much for it. It's a camp classic for sure, but the reamke will do nothing for it's memory. Kids won't recall the original which was made ages ago. Everyhting is being remade now a days. I really can't get mad over it, it's not like they are remaking Casablanca, Gone With the Wind or Citizen Kane. Give it time and they will though and that's a scary thought. We really don't need an updated version of this film and I sure as hell won't see it ever.
