11.20.09 AMERICAN GLADIATOR MOVIE STILL GOING FORWARD
(How nice am I for using former gladiator Gina Carano for the banner pic instead of Titan? That guy is gayer than Liberace cornholing a Care Bear.)
American Gladiators was only ever successful in the highly competitive, Saturday-afternoon-between-football-games time slot. NBC tried to run it at prime time in 2008 and it got canceled after 21 episodes. But there’s still an American Gladiators movie in the works, because hey, people have heard of it, right? There’s no surer sign of creative bankruptcy than reviving an idea that wasn’t that good 20 years ago.
Patriot Games/Varsity Blues scribe Peter Iliff will write a screenplay based on an idea by former Legendary Pictures chief marketing officer Scott Mednickis who is producing the feature. Iliff is probably best known for writing Point Break, and recently wrote the upcoming sequel Point Break Indo.
The film will be set inside the world created in the tv show and will present “a compelling story that launches a whole new set of characters” with the “Herculean characters as superheroes.” [/Film]
Did anyone honestly ever watch some roided-out freak with shaved pits knock a guy into a pool with a giant Q-tip and think, “Oh my gosh, they’ve created a whole new world!” Because that’s what I like to call “Friday.”

I’m looking to the Saving Private Ryan-esque beach assault scene where everybody only has one bullet in their guns.

You hear that, muffin? We may be getting back in showbiz!
Wow, it’s like “The Running Man” meets FAIL!

In a world named America… where all the weapons are made of foam rubber… two men and two women dare to defy gods.
OOH WAH AH AH AH!
These heroes shoot tennis balls of Freedom! From pneumatic guns of God’s Justice! Look out, faggots!! (and arabs) USA! USA!
The second act begins with a search for Nitro’s shrunken testicles.

Predictably, they were found in Titan’s mouth.
The gladiators all shared a single locker room. Despite technically being different genders, they all figured since all their tits and dicks were the same size, what’s the fucking difference?
Now I want to hear about the point break sequel god dammit!!!
I do declare, I would enjoy having sexual relations with that impeccable young lady in the banner photograph.
They better bring back Jonathan Byrne. He was probably the fattest guy to ever put on the spandex, but he was CRAZY. Still is too, from what I hear.
Yeah, I remember Jonathan Byrne. He was Steel right? I read an article the other day that his brother David Byrne (not the Talking Head singer) was one of the leading writers of Kirk/Spock erotica. Pretty weird stuff.
