    Just because Barbie and Transformers worked doesn’t mean every old toy needs a movie

        Given the fact that this is now a competitive sport, it won’t be long.

        Yes, but Rubber was excellent. It’s really a problem of creatively bankrupt giant studios pumping out formulaic dreck.

    1. Hollywood is truly out of ideas.
    2. 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.

    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.

    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.
