    I have this horrible image of Jake and Elwood singing Justin Bieber songs instead of John Lee Hooker numbers.

    I refuse to acknowledge "Blues Brothers 2000," and also have no desire to partake in this.

    I am completely speechless.

    There is no chance this will be good. Fucking none.

    I'm going to vomit. 2000 was bad enough.

    I think the last line of the Variety story summed it up pretty well:

    "Gardner is hoping that, in addition to a TV series, there would also be branding opportunities for Blue Brothers merchandise, including the Bluesmobile."

    Screw the good memories of the Blues Brothers movie (not that horrible sequel); let's just make some money!"

    Sheesh....

    If they can get John Belushi, John Candy, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles and James Brown to star and John Landis to direct, I'm all for this.

    ....and John Lee Hooker and a skinny Aretha Franklin (not hating on the Queen of Soul, mind you. Love her music.).
