And lets not all forget that this film is actually happening. Aka, a crime against humanity.

Only way I would watch this film is if they made it like Scott Pilgrim and gave me an epileptic seizure.

You ever have one of those days where the lyrics for a song you haven't listened to for, like.. a month goes through your head out of nowhere and you decide to make it your mission that everybody within a 2 mile radius has that shit burned into their memory for the rest of the day?

I hope these poor bastards appreciated my rendition of "Sympathy For The Devil".

@ RetroFit

I hate to disagree with you but this could be a big hit with little girls in general........heck look at what happened with that Disney Frozen movie. That damn song is even being played all over the place.

I simply don't understand how you can drop Masters of the Univers for Jem. I think I would rather get hit in the nuts with a tac hammer twice!

I can't believe this film is really happening. Hollyweird is indeed out of ideas.

JoeMomma29@ Maybe just maybe filmmakers finally realized that not every film has to aimed at little boys and that.....little girls exist too I know its a far fetched idea to not only make movies for boys.

Fray@ Yes much weirder than giant talking car robots, four giant talking bipedal ninja turtles, a giant green rage monster, a norse god, and a man who was frozen for about 70 years :)

JatevinM - 4/30/2014, 1:36 PM
The exact same people calling this a weird idea are the same people upset that we dont have a Thundercats movie yet.....let that logic sink in.

Rio from Jem = my first heterosexual man crush back in the day. Not like I was in love with him or anything, I could just totally why Jessica and the other chicks were sprung on him. For the record Hugh Jackman has been my man crush for the last few years.

Er, ok, I'm going now...

@TheSavorings - I guess that's better than Gusto being your Man-crush.

Yep. All of the "girls" who were big fans of this are now borderline "menopausal" right? Right?.....................Why did it get so quiet in here? Ah, shit........there's a woman standing behind me, isn't there..........Well, it's times like this where I'm glad that I know what to do!
