So continuing to provide me with evidence that Hollywood needs to be burned to the ground for the good of the world of cinema comes word that Brett Ratner (excuse me, Brett FUCKING Ratner) plans to bring the same "magic" to the Beverly Hills Cop series that he brought to the Rush Hour (and X-Men) series.

Fuck. Ducks.

So let me get this straight. Eddie Murphy, who hasn't had a movie that was worth a shit since Bowfinger, is teaming with Brett "I took over the reins of X-Men 3 and managed to make the worst comic book movie since Dolph Lundgren's Punisher" Ratner to resurrect a franchise that was PREVIOUSLY resurrected with the abomination (and cleverly titled) Beverly Hills Cop 3? So now Hollywood is re-launching series that ALREADY HAD RELAUNCHES?

Piss off.

Seriously, this has got to stop. What GOOD can come of Beverly Hills Cop 4? Will Danny Glover pop up occasionally to say "I'm too old for this shit."? My GOD. I could get through "Indiana Jones and the Not Really an Indiana Jones Movie but Good Enough in the Kingdom of George Lucas' Fucking Obsession with the 1950's" purely on the charisma of Harrison Ford and some great action scenes. But THIS is just too much. Eddie Murphy jumped over the shark so many times he's a frequent flyer.

And FUCK Brett Ratner right in his stupid face. X-Men 3 was a goddamn travesty and if you disagree, I will fight you.

They should just call it Beverly Hills Cop 4: Meh and move on.
