Adventures in Babysitting (Remake)

[BATBfan1]

@ the Raven Haters
WOW, I can't believe some of you guys are so LOW CLASS on here. Taking about an actress weight! I mean if you don't like her as an actress that's fine, more power to you but to talk about someone's weight is highly low class IMO and it's not called for! She must be doing something right if Disney keeps using her. Disney is known for replacing people as soon as they hit 18 and over and to me I think Raven has a long promising career ahead of her.

Raven is growing up to be a beautiful young lady and yeah, she is a little chunky but SO WHAT! the camera puts on ten extra pounds anyway.

@ Mods and Luke:
You guys should be correcting this behavior because isn't this a kid friendly Forum anyway? Why not pull one of these lovely members and make them an example on how to talk? I think this should be addressed more not about to much quoting SERIOUSLY!

Back On Topic:
I never even heard of this movie at all as well, so I will have to google it lol. It sounds like the movie is like Daddy Daycare, right?

[Elladorine]

Yeah, hopefully I got the point across that I didn't care for the fat-bashing either. Opinions on her validity as an actress is one thing, but to shove her into a stereotype because of her weight? That's not right.

More power to her, I say! Why the heck does everyone automatically assume that girls not as skinny as Paris are lazy, selfish pigs? Why do women have to conform into an unrealistic ideal? Raven's not even that big. . . I'd hate to think of what might be said about even larger people.

[Mr. Toad]

No, it is nothing like Daddy Day Care. More of an adventure/coming of age movie than a comedy although their was certainly comedic elements to it. That plus it was a far better movie.

BATB - I think you are being way too sensitive. Certainly no comments in this thread that crossed the line.

[Disney Duster]

Well, I liked the original a lot, and I think remakes should only be made if the original was a flop or the original was based on something else, like a book or a true story, and they want to make an adaptation more faithful to the book or true story. But that was not the case. Why try to remake something perfect if there's no need for improvement? The film was not meant to be family-friendly in the first place, so their undoubtedly more family-friendly take will dissapoint me.

Anyway, are we absoluteley sure that Raven is even going to be the lead in this movie, and "replacing" Elizabeth Shue's character? The story could be so different that Raven gets a big part, but not the babysitter's part.

[joplin4]

Most of you know I don't think Raven has any talent. I remember the argument I had a couple months ago on here. That is merely my opinion. I'm sick of Disney treating her like she is a star when I don't think she is appealing at all. I hate those stupid phrases like "You nasty" and "Oh, snap!" She's just another reason for Disney going preteen and not focusing on families as they should. Again, my opinion. So, that's one reason I'm not seeing this. I don't like Raven.

But secondly, I've seen the original and found it quite boring. It just never intrigued me. So, I won't be seeing this film.

[BATBfan1]

Yeah, I agree with you on this one.

@ joplin4 - even for you that was very well put lol
We all know you don't like her but that doesn't give people the right to pick on someone's weight. (Not saying you did, just stating how I feel )

@ Mr. Toad - No, I don't think I was @ all. I said if you don't like her, that's fine, no one has to like her but to talk about someone's weight is another thing. I have over weight family members and it's hard on them, so I know what they are going through.

[joplin4]

I think the world is about to end. We finally agree.

[dvdjunkie]

Why does Disney insist on remaking movies? They have run out of original ideas, so they find the good movies and screw them up. Heck it worked for Adam Sandler (i.e., The Longest Yard), and for Jim Carrey (Fun With Dick & Jane), so why not pick one of our "up and coming stars" and remake this classic.

WRONG!!! Leave good movies alone. Find a movie that was a horrible movie and remake it and make it better. "The Shaggy Dog" could have been so much better had they stuck to the original story instead of having all the toilet humor and crude language. That is not setting a good example for the youth of today.

Let's leave the good movies alone, already. Look in the vault and find some movie that wasn't quite good enough, and make it better. Now that would make me want to see the movie.

As far as Raven what-ever-her-name-is, no way does she have the talent to carry a movie all by herself. She is one of the biggest reasons (pardon the pun, there) why Disney is failing right now. Their talent pool sucks.

[BATBfan1]

LMAO, it wasn't me who had the problem with you not liking Raven though, it was someone else lol.
I just put in my two cents.

These are the same moderators who let you return here using a new forum name after you were banned. If you want us to enforce every rule, then technically you should not be allowed to post ever again.

Please stop complaining over a single instance in which your neglect of forum posting guidelines was pointed out as an example of what not to do. Going on and on about it is not going to generate any new sympathy since the guidelines have long been in place and it's been repeatedly pointed out to you that others have done the same and are also being encouraged not to.

The quoting rule is part of the UD Forum Guidelines. Saying only nice things about Raven Symone is not. For the final time, no one was trying to "make an example" of you, and the few easy-to-live-by rules here are in place for a good reason. You can read them here if you haven't already: http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/vie ... php?t=9799 If you have further grievances with the moderators, please address it in email or a relevant thread.

Why must there be another remake of a decent 80s movie.....hollywood is out of orignality. completley. I'll just ignore that they're even doing this....I'm not too thrilled with the idea of raven, but the worst part is that the plot would never work if its set in today's world. A cell phone would have taken care of nearly all of the incidents in that movie and it would've been about 5 minutes long. I'm assuming they'll find some absurd scenario in which to make a convenient excuse for a lack of technology and end up making this a loose adaptation instead.

That's because she's not. She has no talent, IMO.

I totally agree.

First of all, I was banned for no reason whatsoever, and you still haven't told me why I was banned to this day because you don't have a reason!
I did nothing in the beginning to be banned, so why am I getting picked on yet again, and even publicly!
I would LOVE to know why I was banned in first place, but then, I don't want to open up something from the past, what was done was done. What kills me inside you still can't even answer me till this day!

Also: I was never given a warning or anything when that happened as well. I just tried to log on one day, and I was banned. I also emailed you MANY of times to see what happened and you didn't even have the decency to email me back! And when you did you even said you had no idea what I was talking about! If I had the emails, I would have posted them for everyone to see.

And in any event, I gave you my ideas, opinions, and thoughts and I have yet to get a thank you, even from back in the day, and it looks like you took my ideas and ran with them. And gave no credit whatsoever. Am I complaining? NNNOOO! I am GLAD you took some ideas from me because that's why I keep coming back to this site for that reason.

I wasn't only sticking up for Raven, I was sticking up for "the fat people" as some of you call them. By all means, I did state, if you don't like her, that's fine! No has to like her but my point was that why did some of you guys had to pick on her weight, that was the issue.

And for your other statement, I wont even comment on because it's not like you would care anyway.

[TheSequelOfDisney]

I've never seen the original movie, but I do think that Raven is a good actress & she has a great personality

Harrassing other forum members and specifically calling them derogatory names (like "faggot") in chat will do the trick. I can personally vouch for the harrassment stuff because I myself was a victim of your very personal passive/aggressive taunts. That kind of stuff is not tolerated and you have been given this same reason in the past.

I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to. I believe I've had the offending account's e-mail addresses blocked for several years now, so if you gave me suggestions and I took them, it was unknowingly. I would never take a suggestion and instill suggested change into the site without so much as a reply in the first place. But that requires me receiving and reading them, neither of which I did from you or your multiple e-mail accounts.

In any event, you've clearly been given a second chance and for over half a year now. Seems best to move on from both A) your first troublesome experience at UD and B) this current war against the moderators you appear to be waging. Neither will lead to any good, nor do I believe in publically airing out old "dirty laundry" which doesn't affect other forum members directly.

I just did an IMDB search, and did anyone know that Disney had developed and filmed a Pilot for an Adventures In Babysitting TV Series? They even aried the pilot! Does anyone have this so I can see it?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235164/

[hopesethigh]

Here is ALL the news I could find on the Adventures In Babysitting remake:

- It is planned to be released sometime in 2007. (I'm assuming for the 20th Anniversary of the original.)

- Raven-Symone has been confirmed to star as the main character. (Elizabeth Shue's original role.)

- Screenwriters are Hilary Galanoy, Elizabeth Hackett.

- Producer is Lynda Obst

- Distributor is going to be Walt Disney Pictures.

- 2006-07-12: The Hollywood Reporter reports that Raven Symone is attached to star in the pic.

- 2005-05-27: Variety reports that Lynda Obst and Walt Disney Pictures are planning a remake of comedy and have hired the writing team of Hilary Galanoy and Elizabeth Hackett to pen the new script.

- Raven-Symone is the only announced cast member.

Basically, this movie has been labeled a confirmed project and it is going to be released in Summer 2007. That is, if everyone except Disney can be believed.

The only thing Disney has officially announced is that a re-make is happening with Galanoy, Hackett, and Obst.

The only thing that concerns me, I could not find any past screen writing efforts by Galanoy and Hackett and Obst hasn't directed in the past. All of her movies are coming out starting 2007. However, Steven Spielburg has apparently choosen her to direct his un-named Space Trilogy. So that is good news.

[roswellian]

I hope this movie is done well, I'm not a big fan of "That's so Raven" but I liked her in The Cosby Show.
As for the movie, I dont know. I really enjoyed the first and i hope the writer and director do a good job. I also agree that instead of ruining classics Disney should go back and see if they can improve movies they could have done better at.

Just to let you know, that you blocked my account before that ever took place. That was the only reason why I started to go into the chatroom in the first place.

Before you blocked we sent emails back to each other, you had asked me ideas for the site and what would make it better, what should you have changed, etc. I guess you were asking people in random. But I gave you my opinion and I believe two or three weeks later after that I was blocked for no reason.

I do not have any problems with any of the mods. I didn't even know Aaron was a Mod. So my my apologizes to you Aaron.

And yes Luke, I have moved on from that bad experience. I want to move forward and be a family friendly poster!
