They Can’t Make These Without Queen

I went into total 80s overload doing my last two movie posts without even realizing what they have in common. There is no way they can remake Flash Gordon or Highlander without Freddie Mercury here. Sorry, Hollywood. You’ll thank me later. I mean, who were you going to put on these soundtracks? Nickelback? Ludacris?
Yeah, exactly. I can still hear Queen in my head: “Flash! Ahhhh!” Just another reason to fear the remakes. They’re remaking freakin’ Barbarella. When, oh when will this madness end, I ask?
Maybe I’m just clinging to memories of my childhood. Or maybe, just maybe, when these remakes are Speed Racer-bad we’ll all meet back here to commiserate.

They can remake this movies with “Queen” music all the have to do is remaster the tracks like the “Beatles” albums.
Yeah, I hope so. But I’ve got a bad feeling they’ll need to promote some new group or singer. I’m thinking David Archuleta gets the nod.
HOLD ON…When did this happen? It was my understanding the “Highlander” legacy was complete–no loose ends. And “Flash Gordon” was just a simple one-shot.
