Freddy’s Gay Nightmare

When someone mentions Freddy Krueger, the last thing that comes to mind is homoeroticism.  That is until now.  If you’ve listened to Talkingship About Movies Episode # 5 then you’ve already heard us talk about the blatant homosexual undertones of Nightmare on Elm Street 2 –  Freddy’s Revenge, but in this article I will lay out the facts for you and explain why this was one of the most daring slasher films ever made and clearly meant as an allegory to coming out of the closet.

The Thing Prequel

No, not you...

There is a Prequel in the works that we all need to be aware of.  It involves a beloved movie about an alien and a group of humans who futilely fight against it only to discover they are hopelessly outmatched.  However, one human manages to stand against the monster, but in the end the movie leaves us with the realization that it is all far from over!  No, I’m not talking about Alien.  I’m talking about The Thing!

Star Wars 3D

Hasn't he suffered enough?

Han Solo’s asshole is hemorrhaging.  George Lucas is at it again, plumbing the depths of his goldmine for another filthy bounty, but this time his raping will be in glorious 3D!  That’s right – Lucas is converting the entire Star Wars franchise into 3D and rereleasing them starting in 2012.

The 3D revolution is in full swing, and Hollywood has clamped onto it with a fervor.  Films like Avatar have shown us that when a film embraces the 3D from the start, the results can be captivating – although it does zero for the storyline.  However, the rush to capitalize on this fad has produced several poor quality conversions that have served to hurt the original film.  Take the recent remake of Clash of the Titans for example.  Clearly this was never going to be an Oscar contender and simply wanted a taste of your summer movie dollars, but the decision to retrofit the film with 3D caused the final print to come out dark and blurry.  The Last Airbender suffered a similar issue, although the real problem with that movie was a certain director whose name now only induces groans from movie goers.  Still, despite the proof that retrofitting is a bad idea, Hollywood is charging ahead.

Why Are They Raping My Childhood?

Why in God’s name is Hollywood doing this to me? I used to love my childhood memories. Sitting around on Saturday morning, eating a big bowl of my favorite cereal, in charge of the remote because I the oldest (and the meanest) all the while allowing my mind to be shaped by animated characters. Now Hollywood has pretty much killed of all original ideas and has set its sights on those precious memories.

I used to watch Yogi Bear and the Smurfs and laugh at what I thought passed for jokes at that time. Now these are being made into live action movies. If they turn out to be as mentally scarring as the Marmaduke and Garfield movies, my childhood will be all but lost.  Even a cartoon with a decent premise was messed up so badly that I literally left the theatre and kicked my car tires in frustration. (I’m looking at you, G.I. Joe)

Hollywood + Excellent Villian = Plastic Vader Fail

What makes this memory-rape all the more painful is the fact that these evil bastards appear to be purposefully skipping some of the greatest cartoons of the 80’s. So, without further adieu, here is my list of the top three cartoons that should be given a live action treatment.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
