« Califonia Quakin' | Main | 1st Pres Debate »

Clinton just emailed me this link: http://www.mgm.com/pinkpantherthemovie/home.html.  I had heard rumors that this was in the works, but I didn't realize they had made so much progress on it.  I have mixed feelings about this.  I'm a big fan of Steve Martin and an even bigger fan of The Pink Panther series.  Inspector Clouseau (er, Chief Inspector) was such a brilliant character created by Peter Sellers.  I'm worried that any attempts to revive the series by any actor, no matter how talented, are doomed to fall short.  They tried reviving the franchise with Roberto Benigni back in 1993, and it didn't work then.  Don't get me wrong; I want it to succeed, but I'm only 28 and I know all of the Pink Panther movies backwards and forwards.  Maybe in another 50 years...

Agreed. Feelings are mixed. I'll have to admit, seeing Steve Martin in the outfit and moustache did make me laugh thinking of the possibilities.

I don't like it one bit. Steve Martin is a funny guy, but I haven't been impressed by his work lately. Not that I really have room to talk, given my lack of any work altogether. Making another film seems desperate, but I hope I am wrong and it is great. Perhaps a movie starring Jackie Chan following "Kato" or whatever the man-servants name was. With only a few refrences to the original plot lines.

Clinton, that's a pretty hilarious idea. Although I'm afraid if you used Jackie Chan it would become a Twin Dragons type movie where you were so frustrated that Jackie Chan didn't just beat the crap out of everyone when you knew he could. Kato was pretty clueless.

Your're probably right.
