I hope Hollywood leaves this alone


I was unfortunate enough to see them try to ruin my other hero, The Lone Ranger in that stupid movie Disney released last summer. That movie was a travesty and a disgrace. Shame on everyone involved with that movie and I'm glad it bombed. That's what they get. I hope Hollywood leaves Hoppy alone. One day I was watching Hopalong Cassidy on TV and I thought of what it would be like to have a movie. The first person I thought of to play Hoppy in a movie was Leslie Nielsen. Maybe it was the white hair. I didn't pick Nielsen to make the movie a comedy. Leslie Nielsen was a serious actor and a good one before he did comedy. No one could ever be as good as the original and I hope they're never is a Hopalong Cassidy movie. If they actually tried, they could've made a good Lone Ranger movie. I don't know who that masked man was in the Disney movie, but it wasn't The Lone Ranger. It was some pretty boy, bumbling idiot, wimp. That wasn't Tonto either. They've made stupid comedies out of The Green Hornet and The Lone Ranger. They showed every other hero the proper respect. Zorro at least got two good serious movies. It's a shame they had to screw around with The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet. I hope they leave Hopalong Cassidy alone. I know it will probably never happen. But I really hope it doesn't.
