07.07.09 AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE. SILLY ME.
After having previously reported on studios going forward with movies about Candyland and Bazooka Joe, nothing should surprise me at this point. And yet, when I first heard the rumor of a View-Master movie, I thought it had to be a joke. That’s right, a View-Master movie. And it’s not a joke.
Remember View-Master, the Fisher-Price toy with those little 3D picture discs of mountains, rivers and caverns that you could rotate through a viewfinder? Well, DreamWorks is in negotiations to acquire movie rights to the toy from Mattel (which owns Fisher-Price) and has asked Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to do some “Transformers”-style magic on it. [THR]
Transformers style magic, huh? I’m not sure what they’re picturing. I think maybe they thought Orci and Kurtzman could just walk in, set off a smoke bomb and go, “Ta da! Now this idea isn’t f-cking retarded!”

Carmen Electra just offered to “renew the bus pass” of whoever directs this.
Maybe if you pull the lever enough times the movie will switch to one that actually isn’t an embarrassment.
Unless they get the whole audience to click through the movie at the same rate, there are going ot be some fights over spoilers in certain neighborhoods.
Serious…
Mark my fucking words. Pez Dispenser movie is next.
Not so serious…
I always go back to my favorite line in Passenger 57 to relate to horrible shit like this.
Hollywood Producer: C’mon Mr. Cutter what would you do if you were me?
Wesley Snipes(As Michael Cutter):…Kill myself.
They should do an X-Men tie in.
Cyclops: This one looks like a burning laser beam.

The only way they’ll get people to see this is if Megan Fox was the star and they added “Bation” to the end of the title.
If they don’t use “Click Click Boom” for the soundtrack, title and/or tagline, I’ll wash Michael Bay’s Ferrari.
So… it’s a moving picture about moving pictures. How meta.
Everybody laughed when Silly Putty was made into a movie, but I thought The Wrestler was pretty good.
After doing some “Transformers”-style magic, all we’re going to get is 2 hours of 3-D robot balls.
Zach Efron feverishly ran down to the Tiddly Winks movie audition but backed out when they explained to him that its “Winks” not “Twinks”.
Also, I predict a Matrix-esque plot in which people have to choose between the real world and a super-awesome but dangerous virtual reality, and then we all learn a valuable lesson about our addiction to modern technology.
I want a movie about Simon.
They were going to make a Shrinky Dinks movie, but Verne Troyer was unavailable.
When the Viewmaster and Disk-Keeper get together, they will open the gate that allows Seltzer the Friedbergian to come into our realm and bring about the end of the world.

It’ll be a 3-D movie about a muscular prince with a fruity haircut and his battles against an anorexic villain. View-Masters of the Universe
This will be about Joy Behar and gang in an arena-style fight to the death.
My money’s on Hasselbeck.
Speaking of Ghostbusters, why is it always glossed over that Louis Tully and Dana Barrett totally fucked on that roof.
Gene Shalit’s review:
“This movie had some great moments, but they were view and far between!”
Russel Crowe just signed on and they’re calling it…
