MST3K, take note

And speaking of awful movie adaptations, check out this trailer for an upcoming retelling of The Little Mermaid. It looks spectacularly terrible: the acting, the sets, the plot, everything. It was hard to sit through the trailer, so my heart goes out to all those parents who will be forced to sit through this sucker when it comes out in August. (August movies are frequently naked cash-grabs that capitalize on the "It's too damn hot outside; let's go to the movies" market.)
