Is there a Honey Boo Boo-sized void in your heart now that the season has wrapped? Rest assured, Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell, and Colin Farrell are here to save the day.

During a junket interview for Seven Psychopaths (in theaters this weekend), the trio read verbatim dialogue from TLC’s Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.

The industry is churning out countless sequels, prequels, and sidequels, and even adapting old TV shows (21 Jump Street, Dark Shadows) for the big screen. The latest addition: An updated Total Recall with Colin Farrell, opening on Aug. 3. Time will tell if Farrell’s remake will approach the glorious camp of the original, which featured Arnold Schwarzenegger getting his ass to “Mahrs” to breathe life into a rebellion. But it’s the perfect opportunity to reflect on the best and worst of Hollywood’s remake machine. READ FULL STORY »
