Well if it's got the ROCK in it, it's bound to be good.

edit...Hold on a second Zac Ephron is 22 years old how is he gonna play an 11 year old Johnny Quest?


Sigh......

Gone back and watched a dvd of Jaycee & the Wheeled Warriors. The cartoon was a bit sucky (ah, the old rose tinted spectacles strike again), however if given the right treatment it could make a really good film. As long as Saw Boss was made fairly cool that would be the film's biggest hurdle over with.
Also been fondly remembering Mazinger Z, damn I loved that as a kid.

Not from the original cartoon, but how cool would it be as a Hollywood blockbuster?

From what I read, no one quite knows what's going to happen. My guess is that Jonny is aged to about 16. Either that, or Dick Clark will show him the secrets of reverse aging. Or they'll CGI Zac to be shorter and blonde.

Word is that Zac will not sing and dance, but I wouldn't rule it out. The movie will either be really good, or really bad. I'm guessing really bad, but who knows.

In the dark future, there are skulls for everyone. But only the bad guys get spikes. And rivets for all, apparently welding was lost in the Dark Age of Technology. -from C.Borer

Didn't they make a Masters of the Universe movie in the 80s with Dolph Lundgren?

I want to see Transformers and G.I. Joe made into movies... and no, the travesties that have been shoved, covered in gooey, gluey suck and fail, from the drooling vajayjay of Hollywood do NOT qualify. They have the same realtionship to the original shows as Barney has to a T-Rex.

As a rule of thumb, the designers do not hide "easter eggs" in the rules. If clever reading is required to unlock some sort of hidden option, then it is most likely the result of wishful thinking.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake;

Regarding He Man, the recent series in 04 was actually pretty amazing tbh
If they did He Man like they did in that. (Skeletor being a skilled warrior for example, actual storyline worth a damn) then I'd be well up for it. It certainly buried the 80's version, and the less said about the mid 90's He Man the better.


True that, the 04 style was very nice, reminded me of John Van Fleet's artwork, beautiful thick black inked lines (like the second edition vampire the masquerade clanbooks).

Never knew what that 90s heman thing was, in space with the mutants and the shittiest animation going, skeletor looked like a fething rodent.

Don't even joke about it. The CGI Barbie movies that my sisters used to watch were bad enough...

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
