Knight Rider
You know me, I normally restrict myself to a maxium of 1 post a day, but this is something that requires a bonus rant tonight.
I just finished watching the Knight Rider movie/premire. Bad…bad bad bad bad bad bad bad. Every action/suspense cliche you can think of was in this show. Not to mention bad dialog and just plan bad actors, the best actor in this thing was Haslehof (yeap, exactly) and he was only in it for about 5 mins at the end. To surprise, surprise convince the new guy to drive the new Knight Rider. I have to give them credit in only one avenue where instead of completely remaking and reinventing the series, they continue keeping in tact the old story, where the last car was called Knight Industries Two Thousand, this one is called Knight Industries Three Thousand. Not only showing that this is a new car. But also that the writters have no other creativity then to make a new Knight Rider show where the car will still be called K.I.T.T for short. Now, I fully believe that if in the 80’s the car was already called Knight Industries Three Thousand that this one would have been called Knight Industries Ten Thousand. Seems to me, they found the orignal writters of the show, showed them that computers can can fit on your lap, and asked them to write about the first thing that popped into their heads. Then after they had their internet connection pulled for looking at porn, they got right to work on reviving Knight Rider. I was orignally looking forward to it mostly because I read that Will Arnett would be the voice of K.I.T.T. I watched it…It wasn’t him…It was Val Kilmer…That guy killed Batman for 10 years. Fuck, they should have just had him play the new Micheal Knight guy thing. Ugh, disappointing. My only real compliments to the show is that the car looked pretty good, but it hardly makes up for the poor acting and worse story. I’m sure we won’t see this movie turn into a full series.
*sigh* I feel better now, think I’ll go to bed and try and sleep out this cold.
