So
NBC is re-making the show “Hart To Hart” with gay heros.
This
seems to show the lack of originality and creativity in Hollywood as well as
trying to be politically correct by featuring a sub-group who has been victimized
thereby showing diversity. The lack of imagination
and inspiration in Hollywood is sad, but seems to be here to stay. Not being a big fan of “Hart to Hart” I thought
what if they did a gay remake of “Dirty Harry”.
You remember the great Clint Eastwood character and the first of the
movies in the series. In case you’re not
familiar with “Dirty Harry” let me give you a quick synopsis:
Harry Callahan is a sardonic, hard-working
San Francisco cop who can't finish his lunch without having to foil a bank
robbery with his 44 Magnum, "the most powerful handgun in the world." When a hippie-esque psycho Scorpio goes
on a killing spree, Harry and new partner Chico are assigned to hunt him down,
but not before the Mayor and Lt. Bressler admonish Callahan about his
heavy-handed tactics. Racing against a deadline to save a kidnap victim from
suffocating to death and unbothered by the niceties of Miranda rights and
search warrants, Callahan brings in Scorpio, only to see him released on
technicalities. "The law's crazy," he opines in disgust, before
taking it upon himself to ensure that Scorpio doesn't kill again.
So
what if Hollywood made a re-make of “Dirty Harry” featuring a gay hero? It might look something like this:

taking it upon himself to ensure that Scorpio doesn't kill again.
In
the interest of diversity perhaps Hollywood should re-make “Dirty Harry”
featuring a female hero? It might look
something like this:
Heather Callahan is a sardonic,
hard-working San Francisco cop who can't finish her lunch without having to
foil a bank robbery with her 44 Magnum, "the most powerful handgun in the world." When a hippie-esque psycho Scorpio goes
on a killing spree, Harry and new partner Chico are assigned to hunt him down,
but not before the Mayor and Lt. Bressler admonish Callahan about his
heavy-handed tactics. Racing against a deadline to save a kidnap victim from

search warrants, Callahan brings in Scorpio, only to see him released on
technicalities. "The law's crazy," he opines in disgust, before
taking it upon himself to ensure that Scorpio doesn't kill again.
Diversity
is great! They should do a re-make of “Dirty
Harry” featuring a black hero. It might
look something like this:

I’m
sure to leave out some sub-class of Americans, but why don’t they re-make “Dirty
Harry” featuring a trans-gender hero? It
might look something like this:

In
doing these re-makes in a diverse manner, the great tapestry of diversity can
be displayed in a politically correct fashion.
