Ok, its Twilight but for Werewolves.. Got It!

Who doesnt remember the 1985 classic Teen Wolf??  It was pretty much a staple of your childhood memory if youre a child of the 80s like me.  A quirky family comedy of a boy who discovers that he sucks at basketball (Had nothing to do with him being 5'6 and white) and he doesnt exactly run high on the popular scale at school.  Stiles ,his best friend is a fast talking con artist of sorts and his other pal is a normal run of the mill girl who secretly loves him but waits til he hooks up with someone else to start showing signs of attraction.  In other words, the girl thing..



Ok so apparently he hits puberty and BAM!  He's a hairy Michael Jordan!
Teen Wolf

So now, 26 years later MTV running out of ideas because there's only so many teenage mom's and obese teenagers they can exploit has now come up with the plan to create a werewolf teen drama and call it Teen Wolf.  Now at first I thought it was just a coincidence but after reading the premise and the character names, they are in fact going off of the 1985 movie.



Ok so instead of basketball they have chosen Lacrosse, yeah cause thats a popular sport the kids will relate to.  Personally I can't wait for the scene where he's getting pummeled and underneath the dogpile he turns into the wolf and comes out with the ball..  While everyone gasps and scratches there head and lets out the proverbial 'WTF?' he will then decide to take the ball and run down the field and score right???  Thus making everyone feel ok with his lycanthropy and move on to focusing on the game..  Right?  Thats gonna happen..


Twilight

Ladies and gentlemen what does this look like to you??  For christ sake be real!  Its Twilight for werewolves.  Just call it Moonlight..  Or First Bite.  (Credit to my boy Sam on that one...)  Its going to be dark, brooding and appeal to the EMO generation.  You know, the chicks with the pale faces and black lipstick and the dead kennedy's shirts and the guys who wear their sisters pants and steal their mothers eyeliner..  Can't wait for this!

Personally im curious to know if the dad is gonna be as heartwarming as the original..



Until I see something else that tickles me..  Later!

  1. Yo man. The last pic had me rolling, seriously. It's not like anyone believed the premise any more in 1985, it's just Michael J. Fox's charm that made the movie what it was. If you don't believe me see the FAIL that is Teen Wolf Too with Jason Bateman and you'll know what I'm talking about.

    So how are they gonna bounce this? Lacrosse? Werewolf? Teen angst? Please don't tell me he wolf's out on the field and no one cares. It only worked in the original because it DIDN'T take itself too seriously. The teen angst/EMO/Gothic trend by definition...TAKES ITSELF TOO SERIOUSLY. There's no way this gets out of the first season.
