Today we pay tribute with our REMAKES BLOGFEST!!!

***NOTE: Sorry...if I could ever figure out the difference between AM and PM this post would have been on time!!!***

 

Remakes Blogfest!

Hosted by Alex J. Cavanaugh and Heather M. Gardner.

Remakes – most of them suck. Now and then, one comes along that is as good as, if not better, than the original. And after all of the bad ones we’ve endured, we want to know about some good ones.

On November 13, 2017, blog about your favorite remake: movie (or television show into movie and vice versa), song, or book – or all three! Post a YouTube video and links where we can find these treasures. Tell us why THIS remake doesn’t suck!

YES!

This is going to be awesome. I can't wait to see what you guys came up with because that means I get to hear about things that I didn't even know about yet!!

So...let's get started.

TV/Movies

Currently, my favorite remake is Lethal Weapon.

In 1987 this movie was a lot of fun. Suicidal cop meets one-foot-in-retirement cop and high jinks ensue. But, it was a cheesy eighties cop movie through and through.

Today...It's a TV show starring Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayans. It just started its second season and it's SO much better than the movies.

I have a whole post about how much I love Mr. Crawford and Lethal Weapon with some very flattering images of Mr. Crawford as Riggs...HERE. :)

My favorite quote from Mr. Crawford in a recent interview..."I don’t think we ever want Riggs healthy. The more Riggs is a mess, the more fun it is."

Here is one of the second season promo's about the Riggs and Murtaugh Bromance...





Music 

This one is tough. There are A LOT of really good remakes of songs.

This is one of my favorites. It's haunting and broody and the lead singers voice is tremendous.

Disturbed performs The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkle.  


More awesome remakes:

Alien Ant Farm performs Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson

Five Finger Death Punch performs Bad Company by Bad Company 

Shinedown performs Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Metallica performs Whiskey in the Jar based on Thin Lizzy's version of like every Irish folk singer ever

Bush performs Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones

The Fugees perform Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack

Soft Cell performs Tainted Love by Gloria Jones

Jimi Hendrix performs All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan


I'm sure there are a million more that I can't think of, but you get the idea! Thank you so much for visiting! I'm off to read your blogs!

#IWSG Posting Day & what's that? A Blogfest you say?!?!

The Insecure Writer’s Support Group

 

Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

Remember, the question is optional!!!

November 1 Question: Win or not, do you usually finish your NaNo project? Have any of them gone on to be published?



Alex J. Cavanaugh's awesome co-hosts for the November 1 posting of the IWSG are Tonja Drecker, Diane Burton, MJ Fifield, and Rebecca Douglass!

Be sure to visit the Insecure Writer’s Support Group Website!!!   




Hello my fellow Bloggers and Blogettes!

Happy IWSG DAY!

It's the day after Halloween and I'm hoping that you have lots of candy to keep you going today because you probably stayed up too late last night either Trick or Treating, hanging at some costume party, or watching a scary movie marathon!

The Boy as Ghost Rider (2017)

Am I insecure this month? Yep.

I'm 99% sure that I have figured out my title for book 3 in the MC series, which is great because I was really starting to wonder if this was just going to be 'Book 3' or 'Bobby's book' for all time.

If I ever want to see this book published, I have to do the other hard parts, like the blurb and the synopsis.

I'm just not very good at them. Really not good at them. Anyone got a magic formula for either of these torture devices?

Happy NaNoWriMo Day you crazy writing peoples! Best of luck and...
