I saw a remake of The Naked Gun with Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin. It pretty much sucked. Liam Neeson is no Leslie Nielson - not remotely.
One scene I thought was cute was Liam Neeson (as Frank Drebin's son) practically worshipping the image of Leslie Nielsen, saying aloud that he was so proud of his dad and wanted to be just like him. Then a guy who was supposed to be the son of the police chief played by George Kennedy in the original movies is similarly declaring his devotion to his father and pledging to be just like him. Finally, a young black man is looking at the image of his father, Nordberg, played by O.J. Simpson. The image is actually Simpson's booking photo. The guy starts gushing about his father and how he wants to be just like... Then he looks embarrassed and turns away.
In my defense, I watched this thing because I was in the hospital. I didn't know it even existed until then.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
