A modern version would be preceded with a PSA educating kids about the importance of sitting still once in a goddamn while just to give their parents a break. 

GARGOYLES

Casualties of War. I haven’t seen that movie in decades, but I remember it being hard to watch. There was nothing funny about MJF in it.(There wasn’t supposed to be.)

and that’s literally enough to get you a career in Hollywoo.
