A remake no one asked for. How original.

Love to see them try and get away with peepholes in the shower in today’s climate

Nerds today are the "cool kids" these days though so uh....

Its gonna be race+gender swapped. So the nerds will be chicks/gays/and trans. Also POC.

Then they will rape and assault dudes so its cool and empowering.

The bad girls will be a bunch of karens who always call the cops on the Nerdettes.

Everything that made this movie good in its time isn’t acceptable really anywhere anymore. There’s not really a single gag or situation that wouldn’t be torn apart by Twitter nonsense and hell there’s even a few situations regular people might be questioning.

I’m just not interested in a watered down version with the same premise. It’d be like trying to make a watered down version of Animal House or Porky’s. Who the hell wants that?

It would be funny to go out in a blaze of glory and make something low budget that offends pretty much everyone

I have patiently been waiting for the Eddie Murphy comedy special news for Netflix...I’m sure he has more than enough money from shrek royalties to go out and deliver a 90 minute set of gay jokes and insults about black culture and white people

Oh cripes you're right. It's not so much they'll be nerds but "oppressed" people.

More like “revenge of the woke activists”

I like Mcfarlane. His humor is my kind thing. If anyone could do this right, it's him.

He was a nice way pushing the limits and kicking in the right directions.
