I wouldn't mind seeing 'Thundarr the Barbarian' being made.

1. They should try "Ritchie Rich" again.
I'll always love the Daily Show line... "Maybe no one went to see it because it sucky sucked?"

5. I want " Little LuLu", and I want the kid from "2 1/2 Men" to play Tubby
that was one of the smartest set of comic characters ever, full of puns, asides and satire.


The little girl from "Sunshine" would be a pretty good LULU.

7. Art Spiegelman's "Maus". Epic and long overdue.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maus

It would have to be an animated feature, though. It couldn't be done with flesh and blood actors, for obvious reasons.

21. Someone good, I hope.
I'm not up on particular animators, so I have no suggestions. Just as long as they don't Disney it up, because it's really harrowing in places and cuteness would be downright insulting to those who lived through or died in the Holocaust.

8. Get Fuzzy.
Bucky is demented. Robin Williams could do his voice.

13. I think they are actually making a Get Fuzzy movie.
I hear Bucky in my head with a very thick Jersey accent, though.

14. I think of him as sounding kind of like Frasier Crane.
That's cool that they are making a movie.

9. Jonny Quest
George Clooney as Dr. Quest and Vin Diesel as Race Bannon. A couple of moppets from the Disney Channel could play Jonny and Hadji.

17. Pearls Before Swine


I like the way Pastis messes with other cartoon characters from time to time. I really wish the crocs would eat the little girl from
Prickly City.

28. Okay, well, once I find an interested artist who ISN'T a flake
the graphic novels based on MY stuff.

I know, I know. I'm shameless.

But I'm just adding to the list, "Captain Underpants" is an even better idea.

34. "Watchmen" by Alan Moore (author of "V for Vendetta)
It IS being filmed now, but I don't hold any hope for a good movie.

The graphic novel seems to be simply too dense to survive adaptation. There was some hope when Terry Gilliam was attached to the project.

I can only hope that the forthcoming movie will inspire viewers to go out and read Moore's work.

35. "The Dark Knight Returns"
Edited on Sat Oct-06-07 05:32 AM by dicksteele
Everyone's been imitating its look and tone for awhile now;
someone should be honest and just FILM it already.

36. Betty Boop
I'd bet a film with an ingenue in a '30s theme would go over quite well.





Hello, everybody!
