lol glad you could see the sarcastic side of that joke vanboy lol.I really did not mean anything by it.And I will be honest.I really have nothing against remakes or 3D.I just firmly believe that some classics should be left alone and not all movies should be in 3D.Sure I will admit that if Star Wars were put in 3D.I'd would more than likly see it.

Vanboy
Well, they better get this right. And I think we can do without the cutsey stuff this time around, like when he was hopping like that grasshopper. Hopefully, he's still a real robotic creation, and not CGI. But if he is CGI, he better look real and not have all of these extra uneeded parts, that are just added for flashiness.
"Nothing remotely witty" LOL!
Thank you geek!

Someone give me a million bucks and I'll come up with an original screenplay.
