Hobby Horse: The Movie
Given the fact that this is now a competitive sport, it won't be long.
Tina?
Rock'em Sock'em Robots?
That was basically Real Steel with Hugh Jackman.
Time for a Rock'em Sock'em Reboot then.
Me: Holds out both fists so I can't be hit Dad: You're cheating! Roll credits
They really are turning all objects into movies now.
Yes, but Rubber was excellent. It's really a problem of creatively bankrupt giant studios pumping out formulaic dreck.
Rubber was so dumb it was awesome.
- Hollywood is truly out of ideas.
- What shit toys we had! I had a viewmaster. It was slightly educational at best, slightly entertaining at most, and always a toy that you lost interest in after about 15 minutes.
How the hell is that gonna work? A magic View-Master the family hops through somehowβ½
Maybe horror? Monster can only be seen through a viewmaster?
Project Zero has entered the chat
Shitty They Live remake?
Thay or its gonna be a shitter version of Seinfeld's poptart movie.
I'm getting flashbacks to when Battleship somehow got green-lit.
Wake me up for Lawn Darts the movie.
Unless it has Jack Black or Chris Pratt in it, then let me sleep.
???
I want to get off Mr Bones Wold Ride
Ugh.
Coming this summer:
More nostalgia slop
What happened to the stupid HotWheels movie with JJ Abrams? That at least sounds like it has some substance even if it turns out to be shit.
Probably some time-travel or alternate universe bs. Not sure what else you could do. Maybe make it some sort of spy tool
That was a shit toy, but everyone had one.
I didn't but I had a go on someone else's and was mildly interested for a few minutes and then handed it back as I was already bored.
Make a live-action movie about Weeble-Wobbles next please
would have been a ~~good~~ profitable idea during the recent 3D movie craze. They don't even make 3D televisions any more though so it could be a good remake candidate during the next 3D wave.
