Revenge of Mr. T. I pity the fool that don't do math!

A couple projects were announced this week that raised my eyebrows. First was the announcement from George Lucas that he would finally be releasing the original Star Wars films, sans the added computer effects, on DVD in September (Scroll down to see more). But two other projects also stuck in my head.
Fox Atomic, a new young-adult genre division of Fox Filmed Entertainment, announced it would be remaking "Revenge of the Nerds," the 1984 geek comedy that launched the career of Anthony Edwards (ER). I'm guessing that this NEW division will be anouncing some other NEW film projects in the near future. Probably remakes of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes," "Say Anything," "Joy Sticks," and "Night of the Creeps." It will be years before they make their actual FIRST NEW FILM.
TV Land announced that Mr. T (the guy with the mohawk from the '80s show "The A-Team") is working on an advice show called "I Pity The Fool" for the network, which will air in October. The premise is Mr. T will help fans change their lives. First piece of advice? Stop watching the A-Team. That show was cool like 20 years ago.
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are teaming up again for "Rush Hour 3." I think that's pretty cool, but Chris Tucker is getting $20 million to appear in it, while Jackie Chan is getting $15 million. That doesn't seem right.
And Finally, Rosie O'Donnell will be joining The View. I don't watch the show so I really don't have anything to say, I just hope the audience is ready for flying Koosh balls and jokes about Tom Cruise and Catholic nuns.
