My Fair Lady (Two-Disc Special Edition) Overview

Hollywood remakes another classic ... brilliance does not ensue - Rayscann -
My Grandpa told me a story once. One night he was in bed with Grandma and he suggested they try something other than the old missionary. Grandpa suggested he spread some Kentucky jelly on her chest, put his sausage between Grandma's wilting melons, and give her the pearly necklace she always wanted (albeit a different kind of "pearl" than Grandma probably imagined). Grandma was skeptical and asked how she would even remotely enjoy that. Grandpa replied that when he reached conclusion, he would stop punching her in the face. Well, that's exactly how I felt watching this film. I felt like director George Cukor was on my chest, defiling me while punching me in the face and then after 3 hours, leaving me alone, albeit with the gooey residue of having lost 3 hours of my life that I'll never get back.
Yes, Hollywood is in the remake business again, only this time doing a pointless G-rated remake of Radley Metzger's heavy breathing classic "The Opening of Misty Beethoven." Only instead of suave 'n' sleazy Jamie Gillis teaching common street who-ah Constance Money how to be "Goldenrod Girl of the Year," we get the likes of Rex Harrison teaching Audrey Hepburn how to be a lady ... or something like that. To be honest, I slept through most of this. And of course, instead of our fair lady learning how to be more open about things (more specifically, three parts of her body), we get Rex and Audrey delivering show tunes at some ear-screeching volume. My masculinity was so compromised by the end that I started thinking about hairdressing school. "My Fair Lady" is a great movie ... if you're the type who thinks "Rambo" should be remade with Ryan Seacrest in the title role.
