Anything Adam Sandler Related with Pacific Rim.

A Fourth Jimmy Neutron and Fairly Oddparents Movie. (Not making that up.)

Anything Adam Sandler Related with Pacific Rim.

Oh I don't know having him stepped on in the first few minutes of the opening scene might work!:smallamused:


Twilight Versus Eragon and his Amazing Draconic Friends.

Corrected and a much better premise especially if said friends of Eragon have an uncontrollable urge to set fire to the odd sparkly creatures...:smallwink:

Hmm...how about...

[DiscipleofBob]

Fifty Shades of Grey / Bleach.

While the Bleach would be useful for your brain, the simple fact is there would only be one shade of white left.

An Star Wars and Star Trek crossover. Especially if it is Abrams Trek.

Cheech and Chong/Breaking Bad. I just... I cant imagine that ending well.

[Nerd-o-rama]

It'd be gorgeous, though. It would implode under the sheer weight of Japanese social commentary though, yeah.


Frozen 2: The Winter Soldier

I'm...pretty sure this is already a fanfic.

Also fanart (http://constable-frozen.tumblr.com/post/85122317383/captain-anmerica). Warning for constable-frozen - this isn't disturbing, but some of his stuff is.

[DavidSh]

Beauty and the Beast and Ted and Alice.

[Traab]

Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure and Terminator. Honestly, thats way more awesome of an idea than it has any right to be. A time traveling assassination cyborg versus two time travelers who have faced evil robots before.

[brionl]

A Fourth Jimmy Neutron and Fairly Oddparents Movie. (Not making that up.)


Hey! I liked those. :smalltongue:

Don't google this one unless you have safe search turned on:

Popeye the Sailor Moon.

[brionl]

Cheech and Chong/Breaking Bad. I just... I cant imagine that ending well.

You can't just name two genres, you need to come up with a title, like:

Cheech & Chong's Breaking Bad Dreams.

[brionl]

Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure and Terminator. Honestly, thats way more awesome of an idea than it has any right to be. A time traveling assassination cyborg versus two time travelers who have faced evil robots before.

How about:

"She doesn't remember the fall.

She doesn't remember anything, really. To say she 'remembers' is to say there is a cohesive, linear timeline that runs between her thoughts...She can't tell what is memory and what isn't.

Occasionally, she remembers snow."

Ugh, that prose. :smallyuk:

My first thought was Chris Evans singing in a winter wonderland...how is that too much to ask?

Disney merges Star Wars and the MCU.

[Traab]

We find out that Waterboy was just the prequel for Billy Madison. How? Bobby changed his mind about playing fooseball, made a fortune he accidentally leveraged into an even larger one, he had to change his name to avoid the stalkers trying to beg money from him, then he and his wife had a boy named billy who takes after his daddy better than he likes to let on. BOOM! See, its not just pixar that has a unified universe theory for all its films! :smallbiggrin:

^ This, seriously. It's the reason I just can't get into KH or take it remotely seriously. When I think "epic action-JRPG", Goofy is not at all what comes to mind.

(And no, don't bother telling me about that one cutscene where Goofy was a total badass and mastered Omnislash on his first try or whatever. I don't care, the visual styles just clash too much for me.)

[Mystic Muse]

Honestly, any circumstance in which Goofy could be described as "Badass" seems too ridiculous for me to take seriously.

[Eldan]

Honestly, any circumstance in which Goofy could be described as "Badass" seems too ridiculous for me to take seriously.

Well he's a Jedi. And Superman.

But yeah, he's sort of the least badass of the Disney cast. I mean, there's Mickey, the private detective and his fight against the Mafia/corrupt police, there's Donald who's a marine, a space hero and Batman and his uncle of course, who is everything cool in one character.

[Rater202]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Ghostbusters III


Not a movie, but from the day disney bought Star Wars I've been dreading Star Wars world in Kingdom Hearts.
I, on the other hand, am eagerly awaiting the chance to fight Darth Vader as a secret Bonus Boss.

You have to admit, Star Wars would make more sense crossed over with a Final Fantasy-style plot about a young man and his friends fighting The Darkness than, say, Winnie the Pooh.

Winnie the Pooh themed adventures are side missions with no combat and little relevance to the plot.

It's quite literally just a breather level, so it kind of fits for what it's for.

As for not being able to take the games seriously... Everybody, everybody, has something in a Disney Movie that scared the crap out of them when they were little.

In Kingdom Hearts-you can get revenge.

Genndy Tartakovsky directed. It seems to hold a lot of his humor and animation style -- although I may have been projecting my own feelings since I knew he was driving the project.

Personally, I thought it was great. I'm not a big fan of Sandler's regular crew, but they seemed to have done just fine in animated formatting.

you know, I'd kind of like it, if in one of the star wars sequels they're making, if like, one of the characters was like, one of Jar Jar's relatives, but he's actually competent and likable, just the exact opposite of what you'd expect.

Basic problem with 50 Shades is that it's dull, only the sexual subject matter is potentially interesting and it's devoid of the sort of depth that could make it rise above bad fanfic-ness. Twilight is a better work in every way imaginable and it's Twilight. Putting alternative characters in the roles of Anastasia Steele or Christian Grey would not make it more interesting and would only serve to undermine them, while putting Steele and Grey into different roles in another's work would be amusing for a few seconds of potential schadenfreude before you realize how lifeless and insipid they are. 50 Shade's popularity bemuses me, I can only explain it with the strong possibility that those in its intended demographic have never read truly erotic works and live very sheltered lives, or they simply love the Bella/Edward-type characters for reasons I'm unwilling to think about for fear of ending up like a Lovecraft protagonist.

At one point, after reading a Slocum western (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slocum_(westerns)) for class, I wanted to write a series of novels, where John Slocum finds himself stumbling through someone else's better read plot.

Instead, I've been rewriting that novel, setting it in Kalamar (http://www.kenzerco.com/hackmaster/setting.php) (with the protagonist being Odd Jill, who I've written a short story about before (http://rpgcrank.blogspot.com/2014/07/episode-at-old-mine.html)), and trying not to suck so much.

It's just availability. A demographic starved of a set of desires they don't normally admit to having are presented with a social out to make it happen. If erotic fiction were in any way a respectable genre in the US, 50 Shades would have been consigned to failure and that author wouldn't have polluted the pop culture head space for the rest of us.

I'd also guess that, somewhat more embarrassingly, having someone cartoonishly rich in your life is more escapist than usual in the current American economy. Also, although this renders a bit of a joke in the SM community, what the couple engages in isn't particularly adventurous. It's just gimmicky to appeal to someone who's never heard of such things ever.

Anecdotally, I was at a Tabletop RP the weekend before last, and the DM was pretty terrible. One player absolutely loved the entire experience, and couldn't wait for the next session. Probably not coincidentally, this was the only one of the five players who's never role played before. She just doesn't know how much better things can be yet.

[Rater202]

My concern about it's popularity has more to do with the fact that Fifty Shades is a horribly inaccurate depiction of the ...demographic, that it claims to depict. I can get why it's popular: It's literally the author's AU Twilight Fic with the name's changed, so it's popular for the same reason's Twilight was.

I'm more concerned about the effects it's popularity is going to have on members of the aforementioned demographic: Fifty Shades isn't so much BDSM as it is romanticized rape and abuse screaming "It's just bondage" as a smokescreen, and getting away with it because all of the witnesses to the crime are too ignorant to tell the difference

I'm honestly certain that the author isn't actually familiar with that particular subculture.
