Mean Machine/Longest Yard on PPV (InCin)

[BlueMeanie]

Sorry if someone already posted about this; if so, I didn't see it.

Just noticed that on my digital cable on the recently added PPV channel "InCin" (ch. 834 on my cable box), they're showing a double feature of Vinny Jones' "Mean Machine", and its original version, Burt Reynolds' "The Longest Yard." $4.95 for the double feature, which appears to be playing at least once per day in the next few days.

the original is on cable quite a bit (amc of late)

mean machine isn't too bad... pretty much the exact same only done with soccer

i actually just saw the remake last week (twice) for the first time... the prison keeper is a riot... some things were slightly redone, but for the most part everything is the same... only done for the english and modern day

the new one lacks the character development the original had, but it's still damn funny
