Topping the absurdity of the recent whispers of a Jerry Bruckheimer/Michael Bay reimaging of Fernando Meirelles and Katia Lund's City of God is the new rumor of a Peter Guber/Michael Bay remake of Hitchcock's The Birds.

If true, it begs the question, why can't Bay be happy in his own little world of mega-budget hackery? Must he taint the work of others? This sort of crosses the fine line between ignorance-driven bad taste and pure evil, no?
