A brief tangentially related rant in the middle of RatnerGate: I usually give remakes a relatively fair shake before they prove their worth (or lack thereof), but Brett Ratner's potential redo of the underrated '80s teen sex comedy The Last American Virgin, I cannot abide. News of Ratner's intentions slipped by in his recent Howard Stern appearance, understandably, but he had this to say: "I think I jerked off to [LAV star Diane Franklin] at least two hundred times." Please, universe, don't let this guy ruin the most surprisingly sensitive teen comedy of the '80s. #RatnerFreeRemakes, anyone? [Howard Stern via Cinema Blend]
