Warning: Video contains explicit language.

It is said that every family has that one family member that doesn’t seem to fit in well, the one that is just different from the others. For the Jenner family, that one person is Caitlyn Jenner. For the Simpsons, it is easily Bart Simpson, for Sarah Palin’s family, it is often joked to be Sarah Palin (she can see Russia from her doorstep).

For the Jackman household, that one person who seems to be the “black sheep” is Lance Kale Jackman. Apparently, such was confirmed during one of his pranks when another one of his family members said the following.

“This is why mom doesn’t f*****g love you!”

The video was uploaded on Lance Kale Jackman’s official YouTube page on June 2, 2015. In it, he sneaks up on another family member – which is assumed to be his brother – with a loud toy gun. He fires the gun which in turn wakes up the brother. In a fit of anger, the brother than turns towards Lance and screams the infamous line of why his mother doesn’t love him.

Apparently, many on YouTube have found the prank and the reaction afterwards to be hilarious. The video currently has 1.7 million views on YouTube and out of those views, 11K have liked it and only a little over 840 have not. Also, the video is currently trending as it is the 58th most watched video as detailed by the #PopularOnYouTube list. Given the fact the video is 5-days-old, it is probably on the decline on the list.

Now that you’ve seen the video on why Lance Kale Jackman’s mother doesn’t love him, what do you think? Are you like the 11K viewers who liked it or the 840 who did not?

Redneck Pranks At The Jackman House: ‘This Is Why Mom Doesn’t F*****g Love You!’ is an article from: The Inquisitr News

News of a beloved film being remade is rarely good news. The closest you can get, however, is something along the lines of Dwayne Johnson starring in a remake of John Carpenter‘s Big Trouble in Little China. I’m 100% behind the “Why remake a perfect movie?” argument but if it’s going to happen anyway, Johnson as the star is a major plus.

Johnson’s attitude toward the movie is an even bigger plus. In a new interview, the San Andreas star said he hopes they can be respectful to the original and even wants John Carpenter himself to come on board. Read the quotes below.

Johnson was at the Guys Choice Awards where he talked to Entertainment Weekly.

I loved reading the reactions from the fans, that they were so polarized – I’m the same way. My response is: know that I come to the project with nothing but love and respect for the original, which is why we want to bring on John Carpenter.

He explains.

I loved the original when I was younger and I loved the main character – all the characters. It felt like if we surrounded ourselves with the right group of people, the right writers who loved the movie too and wanted to honor it, bring on John Carpenter in some capacity … If we did that, then we have a shot at hopefully making something good.

Johnson didn’t have an answer for how, exactly, Carpenter would play a part but did say if in the writing of the film it didn’t work, they’d all walk away.

Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz (X-Men: First Class) are writing the remake which, just last week, Carpenter himself said he had nothing to do with or no problem with. Maybe this is just Johnson’s first time floating out this idea. Or he’s waiting to see a script, which doesn’t exist yet.

How would you like to see John Carpenter involved in the Big Trouble in Little China remake?
