I can’t wait until Hollywood goes back to that beloved nostalgic toy and announces Golliwog the movie.

It’s a little cruel of you to mention ROM at the end there. Not because it’s compared to Pony and GI Joe, but because I really do want it to happen.

Alas, such rights are tied up in quantum knots.

My Little Pony totally had a narrative! Well, at least it had a TV show. I can’t remember anything beyond that.

Oh, come on. There are plenty of toy brands remaining to be exploited.

I can already see the trailer for Fast and Furious: Micro Machines.

I wonder why we haven’t seen He-Man or Thundercats yet. I mean, fuck, shit like Lord of the Rings and 300 did all the fucking work for you.

With Where the Wild Things Are and Cloudy witha Chance of Meatballs on the way, we’re clearly entering a kidlit cycle.

I can’t wait for the adaptations of Goodnight Moon and Everybody Poops, myself. Both to be narrated by Morgan Freeman. “Like a Twinkie, like a Twinkie.”

There was a He-Man movie in the 90s… I think it had Dolph in the leading role.

I’m still waiting for the Monchichi (Oh so soft and cuddly!) movie to be announced.

it’s a horrifying truth, but they already had a feature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRm0HW9Q_XY

I remember being subjected to it in third grade under the guide of a La Petite “field trip”. Why couldn’t I have just been a latchkey kid?

I’m with Blake (and, I presume, Chris Sims). We need a ROM movie ASAP.

Does Michael Bay have a low-cost Canadian version who could make Go-Bots: The Incredible Explosions as one of those SyFy knock-offs?

What Funkula said, but with “,Funkula” added in after Blake.

I loved the shit out of the My Little Ponies movie when I was a kid. No narrative hook my ass. Ponies, goddammit.

See, this post just illustrates an interesting point about our culture. Male nostalgia is considered a beloved reexamination of our pop-culture past, a potential treasure trove of prime demographics eager to relive their childhoods at nine bucks a ticket. Female nostalgia is considered stupid girl stuff nobody cares about.

To put it another way, your childhood only gets raped if it’s NOT wearing pink. If it is, it just gets ignored.

Put me in the ‘me too’ club.

I would kill a man, with my bare hands, right now, if it meant I got a ROM the Space Knight movie.

I only really know Rom from the ISB write ups, but I would also probably go see a ROM movie.

Im also dissapointed they didnt rename the GI Joe movie “Action man: Rise of Snake Eyes and that other villain, Dr something, we dont have a lot of villains in this line I guess” for the British and Australian market, wheres the toy continuity hollywood?

All I’m saying is a My Little Pony would benefit, just as GI JOE did, from having a Wayans brother in it. Doesn’t matter which one, just get a Wayans to voice one of those little horses, and you’ll have cinema gold.

For all the fans of ROM, it can happen. I for one never thought the Miracleman rights issue would never be cleared up, and it finally did happen. Of course this was only after spending waaayyyy too much money to obtain them.

If your childhood was wearing pink… she was asking for it.


Too much?
