...What?

They just remade the Love Bug a few years ago (well, it was CALLED plain old the Love Bug, but it was more of a sequel)...with Bruce Campbell. Too bad it royally sucked.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I wasn't a big fan of the Herbie movies as a kid. Come to think of it, I'm anxiously awaiting the invention of affordable teleportation devices so I never have to drive again.

You need level 40 for those I think.

That actually looks pretty cool.

Well I've never seen any of the original Herbie movies, so my opinion is that it looks fairly inoffensive.

Herbie movies are great!

Now that I actually watched this trailer, it at least looks way better (and higher budget) than the Bruce Campbell version. Poor Bruce...

Avoids making some other comment about Lindsey Lohen and a  shelf.

ANYWAY.
Yeah, I thought it looked neat, which is why I bothered linking. I can take my kids to this one, I think.

One might even be as dubious as to say that shelf has some hot spices on its rack too.

And Micheal Keaton, what an obscure reference.
