Movies

Sure, most people will just say Potemkin Village and move on, but what was that movie with Michael Keaton and Geena Davis where they bought a house near a small town except they didn't like the townees and the townees didn't like them so they convinced the townees to act like the old fashioned folks and then Keaton and Davis liked it so much they decided to stay there after all? My point is maybe the UK will decide that they actually like having nice towns and they'll drop austerity and commit some stimulus money to fixing their economy.

My Requirements for a Thor Movie

All Asgardians must wear their awesome hats for the majority, if not the entirety, of the movie.

Odin should be like a goddamned Chinese bride at a wedding banquet. He should be changing into a different outfit and a different hat in every scene, each one more awesome than the last (fuzzy robe and slippers scene optional)

More "Kra-ka-thoom"

I Can't Wait for the Thundarr the Barbarian/WWE Team-Up

Really, that would have been my first choice over the Flintstones.

The Flintstones are being brought back to the big screen with the help of professional wrestlers. The film - a return to animation for the brand following two ill-fated live action outings in 1994 and 2000 - sees Bedrock residents Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty attend a wrestling event. Here, they encounter real-life smackdown stars CM Punk, Vince McMahon and John Cena, who are voicing themselves.
...
The film, as yet untitled, is the second collaboration between WWE and Warner Bros, following the announcement of a Scooby-Doo movie. The plot sees Shaggy win tickets to WrestleMania, and the whole gang hightail it to WWE City for the event.

Beyond the Black Hole is dinosaurs

Why *wouldn't* there be dinosaurs beyond the Black Hole? Dinosaurs are AWESOME!

I found out yesterday that min had never seen Disney's The Black Hole, so we watched it, and it was pretty fun seeing her reaction as the movie just goes completely off the rails during the last 5 minutes into some crazy psychedelic madness. That got me noodling around online to see what the reaction to the ending was at the time and then how adaptations of the film in book and comic form handled the ending and that's what lead me to dinosaurs.
