Shame on ABC Family for remaking 10 Things I Hate about You



How dare ABC Family try to remake 10 Things I Hate about You into a tv show! Don’t make Heath Ledger spin in his grave! This was the first film where we all fell in love with him. Remember Ledger's "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" scene?

I saw a commercial of the blasphemy today during Gilmore Girls (which is the best show ever) and I almost threw my tater tots at the screen. ABC Family is going to destroy one of the best teeny bopper films of our time. (Well, for those of us who graduated from high school between the years: 1993-2001). The angst! The teenage love! The sex! Ok. There wasn’t any sex, but it’s not like we all did not imagine Heath Ledger in some director’s cut scenes in our minds.

You can never ever replace Heath, so don’t even try. The rest of the cast also perfectly embodied their roles; they should just leave this film of teeny bopper magic alone. ABC Family, the creators, the actors, and even the caterers should publicly announce their apologies to Heath Ledger, Julie Stiles, Josh Gordon-Levitt, Larissa Oleynik, and anyone remotely involved in the making of the 1999 original film.

The references to the Taming of the Shrew will surely be lost! There will be no Shakespeare. It will be replaced by Seventh Heaven type nonsense.

Remember when Clueless was turned into a tv series? The shame! Not once did the tv show reference Jane Austen's Emma.

Can't we bring today's youth anything good? All they have is High School Musical and that Hannah brat. Poor kids.
