@AdamSerwer |
So, anyone else bothered by the new "Karate Kid" movie taking place in China and utilizing Kung Fu? #nerdcomplaints |

@DanFosterNRO |
Sooooooo bothered. If they at least make a joke about it in the movie I can deal. Will Smith nepotism also bugs me. |

@DanFosterNRO |
Mama Foster used to use rolled up paper towel and blue magic marker to make me Daniel-san's rising sun headbands. |

@AdamSerwer |
yeah but I mean if you're the most bankable hollywood star on earth, how do you not try to turn that into a franchise? |
|
|
@DanFosterNRO |
I still get pins and needles during the whole "Show me, SAND THE FLOOR!" scene |
|
|
@AdamSerwer |
Yeah I have the trilogy on videocassette |
|
|
@AdamSerwer |
That movie made an entire generation of kids pine for a cryptic aging mentor |

@DanFosterNRO |
