Man, it really is so easy to make money on this trash. I really should try to write some cash-grab script based on snapchat or something so I can just retire on the royalties.

I never thought they would actually make a movie based on Barbie, but apparently they are and Amy Schumer is set to play her. I love Amy and all, but I honestly don't know how I feel about this movie. lol

They've made a lot of Barbie movies.

I'm not talking about the animated direct to video ones. I'm talking about an actual theatrical movie.

Barbie: Star Light Adventure was released theatrically. But they've been trying to make a live-action theatrical Barbie movie for the past 30 years. So I don't know why that surprises you. The fact that Amy Schumer is playing Barbie is a joke in itself. Beth Berhs woul've been a better choice.

I've never seen those Emoji pillows at the mall sell.

Anyway, I think Emoji is a passing fad. But I think it's preferable to the annoying "give yourself a dog nose" thing on Snapchat (which reminds me of the comic strip app that was a thing for two minutes back in 2014).

As for Barbie, I bet that they are going to 21 Jump Street the thing and make fun of the whole concept (and how Barbie is an unrealistic role model, hence the casting of Schumer). The fact that Diablo Cody wrote an early draft tells you it's not going to be a straight adaptation.

I've never even mentioned it is ridiculous. I do not understand where you are coming from with this!?

I'm very much looking forward to this as a movie, I love 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' trilogy which is in my top favorites!

As a kid, I don't recall thinking they'd ever try to make a film based on video games. The first one I remember is Super Mario Bros., which had some good moments but was 95% unfaithful to the series. I still want a genuine take on it though, in CGI form with Charles Martinet in the lead. I'd also like to see more serious films based on games like Double Dragon, or Metroid. The latter was in development in 2002, with John Woo directing...but the rights expired.

I'd like to see Jack Black as Mario. If you saw Margot at the Wedding, him with a mustache gives him an uncanny resemblance to Mario (he's also short, which adds to the Mario comparison).

I had an idea a while back for a Mario movie with Jack Black as Mario, Will Ferrell as Luigi, Kevin Costner as King Koopa (Costner was in contention to play Koopa in the 1993 version), Kristen Wiig as Princess Peach, and The Comedians of Comedy (Zach Galifianakis, Patton Oswalt, Maria Bamford, Brian Posehn) as some of the Koopalings. And as a nod to the cartoon series, the famously reclusive (and occasional Simpsons guest star) Thomas Pynchon as Indiana Joe.

And the 1991 film Double Impact is more or less the closest you'll ever get to a true Double Dragon adaptation.

Back to the Future and It's a Wonderful Life remakes. Because nothing is sacred in Hollywood. Put below average actors (probably of different genders and or races because that's so original) in front of green screens and try to make a quick buck. They'll be awful from the get go but they'll make them anyways.

Battlestar Galactica

It's time. Multiple Star Wars movies. New Star Trek. Guardians of the Galaxy. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. The space epic is back. Time for another Battlestar Galactica.

It's a Wonderful Life was already remade with a female lead in 1977 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076213/

Have there been any decent Goatman movies made? I'm not even sure that's a thing outside of east Texas. My grandmother used to tell me about the Goatman as a kid, back when my parents dropped me off so they could go honky tonkin'. lol my grandmother was always telling me spooky shit, she also make up weird songs about all us kids. At the time it was funny because she'd pick on my cousins too, but thinking back now, she was just an oddball.

big budget, well acted, family friendly, critically acclaimed, financial blockbuster, 100% authentic snuff film is made... not counting "The Passion of The Christ"...

okay, okay fine... I'll play. Here's my "G" Rated answer... "Slinky: The Motion Picture".

...just kidding about the snuff film.... we all know that plenty of those have already actually been made, it's just that they never seem to get proper distribution. And don't even get me started on the lack of proper advertising, media campaign, ect...
