Bazooka Joe

[Joe Cain]

Michael Eisner's Tornante Co. is intent on producing a film based on the bubble gum character.

I hear someone's got an option for The Adventures of the Sailor Jack the Cracker Jack Kid.

Hollywood is really running out of ideas, movies about food/gum characters?! Here's a few suggestions "Chef Boy R Dee and Mama Celeste: The Movie"(Unrated). & "There Grrreat! The Tony The Tiger Story"! Or my fave "St. Pauli Girl meets Heineken".

[BStecke]

I want to see a teamup of Mr. Peanut and Mr. Salty taking on a cyborg Orville Redenbacher. The twist could be Mr. Peanut turning on Mr. Salty after Orville's defeat (the monocle makes Mr. Peanut the better villain ) to find, once and for all, who has the better salty snack.

I'll drink to that.

Time for a period piece "Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben"

if they "reimagine" the character so that he actually carries around a bazooka, I will totally be there on opening day.

No, it's Eisner running out of ideas, now that he's convinced he's a "genius", but doesn't have Disney to play with anymore, he only has everyone else's franchises to self-indulge at will--
(And no one to blame but himself.)
