"But in casting Garner ... for a Miss Marple reboot in a contemporary setting, Disney clearly intends to blow the dust off the character and give her a youthful and modern spin."

I... er... What?!?

Marple, youthful and modern. Since they're clearly creating a brand new character, why even bother with the Marple name?

WTF?!?!?!?! The whole POINT of Miss Marple is that she's an old lady! That's how she gets away with everything she gets away with! This is wrong, wrong, wrong, dammit!

Huh? Please tell me someone posted an April Fool's joke a bit early.
I adore Jennifer Garner, but this is wrong and stupid.

Yeah, can't way to see an edgy 30-something get away with dithering about her old Uncle Henry and how things were when she was a girl while knitting away. Hadn't realized these were public domain; if they're not, surprised the Christie estate is letting them do this.

Looks like an old piece of anonymous Internet email humor about Disney updating the classics wasn't as far-fetched as we thought.

Not for nuthin', bud, but... of all the things in this world to get THAT enraged about (and type "no" that many times).... that's what's making you mad today?
