Get Your 80's On
Because Transformers was such a success, it looks like the 80's are being mined a bit for new movies. In the works ...
Voltron
He-Man (Didn't we already learn our lesson with this one?)
G.I. Joe
Doesn't sound like any of these are going to be as great as Transformers, so
don't be shocked when they bomb. Here is an open letter to the writer of at least a couple of these.
Wow.
I am SO glad that Hollywood can't come up with an original idea anymore
and so they have to raid the vaults of books, movies and cartoons. You
all know this is simply pandering to the same audiences that they tried
to bombard with merchandising during those formative years (namely
using many of the cartoons listed above).
Sure, we're all glad that they are making the movies they should have made 20 years ago, but it's so obvious they are just appeasing us for our dollars.
What's next? A Hulk Hogan and Friends movie? A Superfriends franchise? Any of the crappy shows and sitcoms from that time? You know you can't wait for Fall Guy: The Movie.
That "well" should run short in a hurry. Gives me hope that I can one day
put out my own movie. As long as I promise not to make another White
Chicks, of course.
